Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

Everytime I used the product to make a cd (data cd or music) it would lock up my computer to the point I had to physically power it off. Roxios support people told me to remove everything from my start up list. I dont want to be doing that everytime I want to use the stupid program... I finally gave up and deleted (uninstalled) the program, only to find out by doing that it deleted part of my Photo Suite program as well. Stay far away from this bomb...

This is a very old version it is designed for Win XP and Win 7. I tried installing it on win 10 and it wont work!!!!!☹️

I had finished reading all the reviews on this site, then was wondering whether or not to make the purchase. After careful consideration, I decided to heed the advice of several reviewers, i.e., completely uninstall all previous versions of the CD Creator software, carefully read the manual, things like that. After having done all this, I bought the version 6 and the install went smoothly. I have not had time to fully explore all the features, but the interface is great, and hopefully Ill get a lot out of it. Thanks, Roxio, and thanks to all the other reviewers out there for your help and suggestions. I am running WinXP on a HP Pavilion 8760C with 256MB SDRAM.

Actually, I had initial success with Win2000 Pro, but their were serious subtle bugs. I tried to use CD and DVD rewritables, and I could get some success. However, I can only use 60% of the space on the CD. That was the first wierd thing. As I was archiving CDs, I have some problems. Some CDs could not be copied. I could later copy them with Nero 5 though, or using a Mac with Roxio Toast 5. On other CDs I get errors stating that the .iso could not be used for that format, such as hybrid CDs. However, on the Macs with Roxios Toast, I do not have these problems. Some CDs that I created using Easy CD Creator were invalid or corrupted. I created ISO images on my hard drive and created CDs. The installer would crash, or other software would would be corrupted or would not work correctly. I am really scared after reading these other reviews, so I think I may re-create these archives with another utility in Linux or Mac. I would seriously avoid this product and future products, as this software can mess up your data and archives. You dont want to gamble with this. I imagine there might be some legal action (class action) in the near future...

I purchased the Plextor PX-708A top of the line DVD/CD burner and the software that came with it was Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator. Well let me tell you it gave me the blue screen of POWER FAILURE Error and after that whenever I tried to shut down my computer it would just restart. I didnt realize this was causing the problem and I thought the new burner needed a better system so I built a new custom sytem getting the best montherboard ASUS has to offer P4 plus 1 Gig of memory well after reinstalling everything guess what the same problem happened thats when I started researching online and found that ROXIO sucks, they need to test the product before sending to the market. I had to reinstall Window 2000 again and the CD with Roxio will never go in my computer again. Now my computer works fine. I went out and purchases NERO 6 Ultra Edition, it works much better but you need to download the patches first. Both of these products try to offer to much other crap they need to get the software for burning down solid before adding on other crap and make sure they test it.

I have many other software products that let me work with music creation and collection, so the main reason I bought Easy CD & DVD Creator was for its DVD tools. I have many VHS tapes which are family movie compilations, some dating back to Super 8 days. I was very eager to put these all on DVD for my family. The series of problems I had with this process was simply amazing. The software didnt have fast forward or rewind buttons. Importing often failed even though the movie or sound files were perfectly usable by every other software package on my system. The software crashed numerous times. I tried to move the project onto another system to see if it would be any better, and the move process required me to start again from scratch. I finally got my DVD put together the way I wanted it and started to write. It crashed. I tried to simply write an image to disk. It crashed. The Roxio message boards are full of complaints from people with the same problem. I sent an email to their tech support. No answer. If you call in you pay for a toll call - plus pay $35 on top of that in order for them to help you figure out why their software is crashing. This software should never have been released in the buggy state it is in. It is incredible how much money I have spent for software that has wasted days of my time and simply does not work.

I bought this against the advice of several reviews on this site. It will make a nice looking DVD but it is very limited in my opinion. 1) Wont allow you to combine video clips 2) Wont allow you to rename the video clips that you capture. You can only do that in windows explorer. 3) Any audio that you attach is limited to just a few seconds 4) If you need any help with anything other than installation problems, you have to pay for it from day one. 5)When you edit a clip, you cant keep what you cut out, it automatically discards it. Its OK, but not worth the $ I paid for it. I am going to find a real DVD capture and edit program and get rid of this.

Roxios Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 is a huge improvement from Easy CD Creator 5. It has a smooth interface for editing video and burning to DVD. The CD burning of music and data is excellent. The price after rebates is very low, so nows the time to buy.

If you are fortunate enough to get one of the earlier releases of 6.0 you will be OK as long as you do not upgrade via the web once you register. Most of the copies out there now do include the newer engine. If you upgrade to 6.x via the web you can kiss DVD burning goodbye. They are planning a release of the newer engine that will fix the bug that they have stated could not be replicated in their labs. However, look at their own site forums and on the web. Its a wide spread issue. The fix is supposed to be out in late November. I would wait until it is out and tested first. It does burn DVDs but it further compresses the image to about 50% of what it should be. The end result is a 4.7 gig burn that renders to about 2 gigs. Its almost unrecognizable when you play it. Pixilation so bad that is resembles a mosaic pattern. Another problem is the software keeps attempting to finalize CD-R disks. After the initial finalization using the drag and drop icons it will finalize the CD-R again. Throw that one away too. Finally, I burned a 1-hour DVD. It took 27 hours to render with the new engine on a 2.6 GHz with 1 gig of RAM and a 110 Gig swap drive. Your call on buying this! One thing I liked... The nice box it came in...

Outstanding. All purchases have satisfied me completely. I have recommended your company to all of my friends and will continue to do so.
