Summary: Constant Problems
Comment: I thought my computer(s) were the problem, pc's, with my burned DVD's not working about half of the time until I read these reviews and know it's the software. Not a good buy in my opinion. Will be finding new software as soon as I finish this review.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great software!
Comment: This is an easy to use but effective program. I have used some version of it for many years. It is the best I have tried.ROXIO EASY CD & DVD

Summary: Beware of this product
Comment: This product was not compatible with the video files that I wanted to burn onto a DVD. The online product support was very lame. Ultimately, I was told I needed to upgrade to a much more expensive Roxio product in order to achieve compatibility with the video files that I wanted to burn. I wasn't offered a refund or a discount on the new product, which I ended up purchasing nonetheless.

Summary: Bollocks!!!
Comment: OMG, I am ignorant. I wish I would have read these reviews BEFORE I went ahead and spent thirtyplusdollars on this program. I bought it with the thought that I was going to be able to create DVDs to play in a "regular" DVD player. Believe it or not, I have friends who still watch videos on DVD!
On the package, it says "Videos made easy" "Create custom DVDs..." etc. This led me to belive that I could create actual DVDs with menus, chapters, etc. WRONG!!! When I try to access this feature, the program tells me I need to upgrade!!! WTF???? I just bought this bloody thing and now they want me to spend eightymoredollars in order to do what the package SAYS it can do?????? Bollocks!
I call shennanigans!!!
Oh yes, I DID find one area where you can make a menu screen and TRY to import media. BUT that is so slow and tedious as to be nearly unusable. Then when the menu finally does load in...after several minutes watching a progress bar...you can do nothing with it. The music they put on it is WAYYY too loud and it can not be muted. You can't even change the music! ...there is no option!
I finally did manage to get a few files moved into this decrepit interface and it started looking like I might be able to get something going after all. I started to feel hopeful. So I tried a burn, just to see what would happen. Guess what. It made a coaster!! Totally useless! Again, BOLLOCKS, I say!
BTW, my system is an AMD Dual core with 4gigs of RAM and 1.25TB of HD storage. Running win7 64bit. Not a "Screaming" system by today's standards, but quite capable nonetheless.
This software is just not what it claims to be. I am especially unhappy that I paid for a "TRIAL VERSION"!! I guess they must have seen me coming from a mile away. Yup, I got suckered by this package. Not again though. It has been removed and is on its way to the bin.
If there is anything positive about this purchase, it is that I have learned a valuable lesson here: Read the reviews BEFORE buying software!
So now my quest continues to find a program that I can use to actually create DVDs for general home use. Surely there must be SOMETHING out there??? ...somewhere??? One thing is certain though: I will surely never buy another Roxio product again.

Summary: Old Outdated Software not worth it
Comment: I bought this software "cheap" ($10) after an "instant rebate" and mail-in rebate (that should have been a tip off) from a major big-box office retailer. I am running XP Service Pack 3 on a custom built computer with plenty of ability to run such a package. Right now I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 installed and it works fine copying, burning and making libraries and projects with CDs and DVDs. I have been happy with this version. However, because it's 6 years old, I decided to try a newer Roxio product because I plan to upgrade to Win 7 and thought a newer package would be compatible with the new Windows.
My purchase was a big mistake. I am a fairly experienced computer user 20+ years, so I should have known better. Basically, as in most things, you get what you pay for, so the low price should have been a warning. It turns out that this is 3-year old software (2007) and it's slow. Yes, I got it to install OK and it removed my Roxio 7 and it was able to use it to copy a CD. However, it has a clunky interface and, in my opinion, is worse than the older product it sort of replaced. Fortunately, I have "Rollback 8.0" on my machine (a great 5-star program by the way - it's saved me numerous times) and was able to go back to a previous time and got rid of this Roxio product. Now it goes in the trash.
After reading reviews of the latest Roxio products, I am going to stay away from all of them.
