When you look on Pirate Bay for top downloaded apps, you will consistently find Nero near the top of the list. Nero allows you to easily copy, rip, burn and share your different media files on CD and DVD. Instead of paying for this app, you can try out these alternatives.

Think of how many people have become very used to the ease of having TiVo. And now, it’s going to be available for your computer as well. Nero and TiVo are working together to launch LiquidTV, which basically is TiVo, just for a computer.

You’ll still get many of the same basic functions you know and love on regular TiVo. You can watch live or recorded TV. You are able to burn videos to DVD if your PC has a DVD burner. As long as your LiquidTV is networked with other TiVo boxes you have in your house, it even plays nice with those.
