Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

IMHO
Greater than one weekI have been using Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum successfully for quite some time. I tend to go for updates of a product when Im happy it. So, I ordered Easy CD Creator CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum at an excellent price from Amazon. Big mistake! I find that it is unstable -- sometimes working, other times freezing my system (Microsoft XP Home). The worst thing about it, however, is that it refuses to read CD-RW disks that were written with Creator 5 and read absolutely FINE with Creator 5. That was the last straw! I do have something positive to say about the Easy CD Creator CD & DVD 6 Platinum. It uninstalls well. Now excuse me while I get back to using my reliable, if not as capable, Creator 5.

18-11-2024Roxio 6 platnium picks up where 5 left off by expanding the capabilities of the core program itself. The burning aspect leaves little to be desired for DVDs, CDs are burnt with precision and if installed correctly causes little problems (XP sp1). Overall, it does exactly what its supposed to and nothing else.

> 3 dayThis is a great product and worth your money. Though it has a few problems. 1. In Audio Central-it makes to many duplicates of audio when changing the kbps or when retriving it from other media software. You can delete it, but it takes forever. 2. Make sure you send in [any] rebate immediatly... 3. DVD Creator needs more features but still is 5 stars for ease of use. Overall, i recommend this product for household media-not steven spielberg films...

> 3 dayI bought this solely based on the Roxio reputation. I installed it, the DVDs I burned didnt work (it crashed). I spent serveral hours downloading the upgrades from the Roxio site, then tried it again. The DVD crashed still!!! The store I bought this from (Best Buy)does not take open software returns (none!) So I stepped outside then threw this entire package into the trash. I gave this product one star only because Amazon doesnt have a lower rating.

Greater than one weekThe maker neglects to mention that the CD inserts prepared and saved with Easy CD Creator 5 will not be formatted the correctly in this new version: youll have to recreate any jewel case inserts you have on hand. No fix planned, according to their customer support. Also, the memory leak problem from version 5 is still present in version 6. (At least, I assume thats what it is: after burning several CDs, open programs start to malfunction just as if there was insufficient memory, and sometimes I get an insufficient memory message.) Ive asked about this, but get no answer. Also, in the Label Creator, when you copy a picture object, apparently its copied to a clipboard within the program, rather than the system clipboard, so you cant paste it into (for example) MS Word. This is a pain as you try to recreate your label inserts.

> 3 daySeamless, fantastic, and stable. A solid addition to the computer. A bit more professional then the last version, Version 6 is flawless with Windows XP (SP1 needs to be installed) The drag feature is not only new but excellent. I would recommend this to any burner out there. make sure you read the requirements, and go to town!

> 3 dayI have been very happy with Roxio products until this upgrade. This product should never have been released. During the upgrade, it destroyed my Windows 2000. All I had when Roxio got through with my machine is the blue screen of death. I had to reinstall Windows, ALL my programs ALL my drivers, and I had reset ALL my preferences and defaults, I never could recover my DSL connection. And my MP3 files all disappeared. I lost a weeks worth of work, probably several clients, and several thousand dollars. After speaking with Roxio technical help (on my dime, of course)for several hours, the person at Roxio admitted that THIS WAS CAUSED BY A KNOWN BUG. They had no work-around; they had not recalled the product; they had no warning for suckers like me. All they had was Im sorry. Thats not good enough. The icing on the cake is that the program doesnt even work well. I have yet to be able to make an audio cd that doesnt skip and distort. I hate to think about the data cds Ive made.

> 3 dayThere are too many kinks in this program to work out. The layout is great, but execution is poorly done. As soon as this was installed on my computer, it crashed. We had to wipe the entire drive because of this. I havent tested the DVD builder, but as for creating VCDs, it makes it difficult. There were so many problems with this software, that I cant even START going into it. For more information on these problems, though, go to [...] and read their their online support FAQs. Too bad I didnt think of doing that before I bought the software.

> 3 dayId like to congratulate Roxio and the Easy CD & DVD Creator 6.0....For being the one and only software app that crashed my system running Windows XP!....And Ive been running XP for over 2 years! Even after 2 updates from their website, and a COMPLETE driver overhaul, I still had to reach for the reset button. Stick to Nero 5.5 or better yet, if youre just burning audio CDs, get Feurio! (also from Ahead software) Its the best and less than half the cost.
