Nero CD Compilation (NRI) is a proprietary disc image metadata format developed by Nero AG for its Nero Burning ROM software suite. This format stores configuration data for optical disc projects, including file paths and folder structures intended for recording onto CD-ROM media. Although largely considered a legacy format due to the decline of physical optical storage, NRI files remain safe for archival purposes as they contain file references rather than executable payload data.
