Roxio Easy Media Creator

2 stars (Just call me a Fool) - I don't know why, but I ended up purchasing both Nero 7 and Creator 8.0 At first it was because Nero 7 had so many problems out the door. I normally prefer Nero, as I have Nero 5, but after all the trouble, I forked out more money for Roxio, even though I had problems with it in the past. At first I was surprised, with all the new feature. Though to be honest, most of the new features were already in Nero 6, but I never had Nero 6. :-) But then when it came to actually using the Roxio software, I started having flashbacks to Creator 4 and 5 that were just nightmares. And which Roxio never properly fixed, and when they did fix it they charged me for it. That's why I went to Nero 5 to begin with. After trying to get Roxio support to help me resolve the issue, which they were never able to do and kept saying the problem was with my computer, I gave up. Well, to be honest Nero came out with an update to Nero 7 so I thought I would give them another try. And I'm glad I did, as they did resolve almost all the issues they were having, though they still have few to resolve. But this brings back my faith in Nero. Now lets see how long Roxio takes to resolve their issues. John 5 stars (Excellent Features) - This software hasn an astonishing array of features. In this version they have achieved the seemingly contradictory goal of making things both easier to use & richer in terms of features. For ex. slide show creation can't be easier via the wizard but at the end of the wizard if you want to tweak the slide show more, you can click a button to export it to another applicaiton to edit to your heart's content. They do this disc labels, DVDs, music discks photo projects and probably other areas. I've seen nothing like it elsewhere. 5 stars (Unbelievable customer service) - Roxio EMC 8 was the stem of all my issues with the drive read errors and system hanging during shutdown. Don't get me wrong, I love the product if it would work. It ...

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. ...
