Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 5

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 5 10th Anniversary Edition

5 stars (Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 review) - This is a very simple program to use & has many nice features. I'm mainly using it to make picture videos & it does a good job at it. 4 stars (One of the better consumer Video Editing/DVD Authoring solutions) - I am suprised to see so many people trash this suite so quickly. I never use it for burning CDs/DVDs/Audio player (Nero, Winamp anyone?), but a combination of Roxio Capture, Videowave Professional and DVD Builder is really good for camcorder DV->DVD video editing and conversion. Features include support for still images, videos of differing resolutions/specs, video effects, overlays, text overlays, etc. you name it. Pinnacle Studio 9 is still a notch better in terms of features (the only feature that this suite doesn't seem to have - manipulation of audio volume of video tracks in the timeline), but its wickedly unstable and gets my Oscar for the most crash friendly program. Call it my uncanny luck, but Studio used to corrupt my projects just after I spend hours editing the video and done with it making me start all over again. I was looking for a stable alternative and this suite has saved my day. 1 stars (Extremely Unstable Program) - After spending 6 weeks capturing and editing a video, which the program did well, the burning process is extremely unstable. It will burn the video to a DVD-RW (rewrightable) disk but not to a non rewritable disk. I have tried 4 different manufacturers DVD disk and after 2 1/2 hours it takes to burn, I get error messages on every one and the disks will not play. I have wasted time and disks (they are unusable after the burning) to get no results. I have spent hours with Roxio's direct email support and with phone support and get "this is most unusual" but no solutions. I have deleted and reinstalled the program 3 times, as suggested by tech support, and still get the same results. I have sent for a back up disk as support also suggested that the original disk may be faulty....

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 5

1 stars (You get what you pay for. . . .or maybe not. . .) - I purchased this software as a clearance item from a major national office supply store. As said by an earlier reviewer, I should have read the reviews here first. Fortunately, this program has not damaged my computer, at least not that I'm aware of. Why? Because the lousy thing won't even install! I have made numerous attempts to install, using the 'full', 'typical' and 'custom' configurations, all to no avail. Each attempt to install ends with an error message saying that the function has been terminated. The program then backs out the data it had written. Doesn't matter what price you find this clunker at, it's a waste of money. 2 stars (has no support for dual-layer discs!) - i've been using roxio products for many many years. for me, they've installed and been VERY useful. but appears roxio's latest version isn't really up to date at all - they appear to be selling a version without dual-layer disc support. i'd wait until they release a version that does. this version is essentially obsolete. 1 stars ("thanks roxio for messing my computer up") - Software Horrible..Had to re-install Drives..and thank god for speaker phone was on hold forever. Its been a week and still problems with drives disappearing. Should have read reviews and stayed away from this "crap" software. ...
