What is Nero Score?

WHAT IS NERO SCORE?

Nero Score is a free tool which measures your processor’s (CPU) multi-core power and is pushing your graphics card (GPU) to it’s maximum limit with real world multimedia use cases.

Nero Score is used by journalists to review hardware, hardware manufacturers to optimize their latest products, as well as computer owners to evaluate their individual system to make purchase decisions.

WHAT KIND OF BENCHMARKS ARE INCLUDED IN NERO SCORE?

The initial version of Nero Score includes an CPU AI benchmark and measures how many pictures per second can be processed with artificial intelligence on the given CPU. So this in not about training an model, but actually applying a trained model on data (called inference). The outcome of this test will let you compare how different CPUs score in this domain. The result can be 1:1 matched with CPU-based AI inference solution, like e.g. Nero AI Photo Tagger. The data set for this test includes 50 pictures that will be inferred 3 times each. The format and size of the pictures doesn’t matter for this test as the AI inference only needs an input of 299×299 pixels in size anyway.

WHAT KIND OF TESTS WILL BE NEXT IN NERO SCORE?

The roadmap for Nero Score foresees an extension into further multi-media related use cases utilizing CPU and multiple GPUs e.g. video encoding, 3D rendering.

HOW IS THE SCORE CALCULATED?

Nero is fully transparency on the calculation of the actual score. Each of the tests executed within Nero Score will generate a score of it’s own. For example: The CPU AI benchmark measures how many pictures are processed per second. This number is multiplied by a factor of 25 to generate the score for this specific test. So there is a 1:1 relation between the score and the performance of the CPU for the given task. A PC with twice the score will be twice as fast.

As soon as there are more tests a total score will be calculated from the single results and the simple formula for this calculation will be made transparent, too. Over time there might be changes on how the score is calculated, those will be called out and documented with revisions to ensure that results are always reproducible and comparable.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE/WHILE RUNNING A TEST?

Laptops should be connected to a power supply.
The high performance power plan should be selected on any device.
All open applications should be closed.
No user activity should be done in the foreground.
Background activity should be avoided e.g. no virus scans, software update downloads, cloud uploads.

WHICH KIND OF PLATFORMS ARE SUPPORTED BY NERO SCORE?

At the moment Nero Score is supporting Windows 10 64-Bit exclusively.

ARE THERE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS AVAILABLE?

Yes, for example “C:\Program Files (x86)\Nero\Nero Apps\Nero Score\NeroScore.exe” runtimes:50 stoptime:3 logfile:1 will executed the current test 50 times with a pause of 3 seconds in between and create a log file in %temp%\NeroScore (so inside he current users system temp folder).

runtimes: number of times the test should be run
stoptime: time between the runs in seconds
logfile: defines if a log file should be generated 1 = yes / 0 = no
logfilepath: alternative path for the log file e.g. “E:” or “D:\Score”
autoexit: defines if the application should exit after all tests are done 1 =yes / 0 = no
language: use any of the above 4 letter codes to define the application language manually (e.g. es-ES)
exepath: runs a specific application on exit (e.g. “C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe”)

How can I fix the audio track problem in Nero MKV Converter?

When adding some MKV video files to Nero MKV Converter, you may see an error message about ‘Audio track not supported by your system’ as the screenshot below.

Generally, if you play such video files in the system players (Windows Media Player, Movies & TV), they are also no sound. This means that your system lacks some audio decoders. Most of cases, these video files include some object-oriented audio formats.

Don’t worry, let’s dig out the problem and fix it step by step:

We need to find out what audio is included in your video file.
1. Please open this video file in some ‘media info’ application to check the detail information. If you don’t know what app you should use, I recommend to use ‘MediaInfo’. You can download and install ‘MediaInfo’ from here.
2. Please check audio codec information of this video file. You can switch to Tree or HTML video mode, if you would like to see detail information clearly.

Let’s find if there is any extension available in Microsoft Store.
1. Search this audio codec in Microsoft Store to find if there is any extension available.
2. Install the package if you found the extension.
3. Play the video files in system players.
4. If the video files get sound in system players now, then it means the audio issue is fixed.

Now there will be no problem to convert such video files in Nero MKV Converter.

After creating Raspberry Pi OS, how do I make my Windows system recognize all these cards at the same time again?

Nero USBxCOPY supports to create Raspberry Pi OS for multiple SD cards or sticks. There is no problem using these SD cards or memory sticks on the Raspberry Pi. For Windows, if you insert a single SD card or memory stick, the Windows system can also correctly identify the device.
But, if you connect multiple SD cards or sticks that have been created as Raspberry Pi OS to Windows at the same time, the system can only correctly recognize the first device. As shown in the screenshots below – the system can only recognize one disk (actually it is a SD card), and the other is offline. This is caused by some system limitations.

You have to reset the disk volume information for these cards or sticks, if you want to make use of them at Windows system again.

Please follow below steps to update the removable disk volume information:

Please open system ‘Computer Management’ > Storage > Disk Management. You may see some removable disks are marked as offline.
Select a removable disk to update the volumes info. I will start with Disk 2, as an example. Please make sure you are operating on a right disk!
Right click the ‘boot’ of Disk 2. Delete Volume. Click OK in system confirm message.
Please delete the volume to another primary partition of Disk.
Now Disk 2 is unallocated.
Please new simple volume from context menu.
Follow the system wizard to continue.
Please delete and new volume information for all sticks. It is fine to keep one stick as old volume information.
After all are finished, please plug out all sticks and attached them back one by one. Then system will recognize all your sticks.
