Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

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.

It does not work with newer computers and newer windows. Would cost more to send it back than I paid for it.Its worthless.

Having used version 5 Platinum, I was filled with joy to see the release of version 6. I probably should have saved my enthusiasm. Although I havent experienced any of the problems that Ive read about here as far as Windows XP goes, it runs flawlessly on my XP system and Im using it on a laptop. My issues are simpler. I just dont care for the way it works. Photosuite is worthless, Audio Central is ok, but you cant apply any effects (and there are several)such as the equalizer or any of the others unless you create playlists. If you want to listen to a few songs from your library, you cant apply the EQ without first creating a playlist. DUMB!!!! I still havent found an audio application that I like better than Musicmatch. I could go on, but if you dont have a real need to burn DVDs and you have version 5, stay there. I havent decided whether or not Im keeping this. Fortunately I bought it at Costco, so I have their liberal return policy on my side.

I foolishly bought the upgrade for Roxio. Ive used Roxio for several months and it is just a collection of programs that do not fit well together. I finally switched to Nero. It is the only way to go.

Im both relieved and bummed to find so many others have experienced the same catastrophe I did in installing this product. It came bundled with a DVD burner from one of THE top names in the industry, and it shuffled my folders across my partitioned hard drive like a drunken poker player. Windows even lost all sight of a 60gig external hard drive -- it would dutifully beep in hardware recognition when I unplugged and replugged the drive into its firewire port, but the drive itself might as well have been in the Phantom Zone. Until Roxio makes clear -- In. No. Uncertain. Terms. -- that this issue has been fixed, I would not recommend the product to anyone but my boss at work.

After reading the reviews, it is easy to see that Im NOT the only one having all sorts of problems. Roxio Easy (LOL) CD/DVD Creator came bundled with my new TDK DVD burner. It has got to be the sorriest software Ive ever attempted to install, with the exception of some freeware. It exposed hidden partitions, only partially installed, and Im seeing the dreaded BSOD, telling me that there is a software or hardware conflict. Version 5 came with my computer, so I had to go back to using it. Also, ever since I TRIED to install version 6, ACDSee tries to act as Windows Explorer. I would advise any and everyone who is even thinking about purschasing this software NOT to. Its looking like Im going to have to wipe my HD and start all over.

This 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...

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.

All Roxio products Ive used on several different operating systems have always had one problem or another. I found their support staff to be worthless and returned my last Roxio Product vowing to never buy anything they made again. I know others rave about Roxio but I think as with all products there is always a certain percentage of dedicated enthusiasts that will support the product regardless of problems. System lock-ups might be expected on slower cpus with little memory but Ive had some powerhouses freeze up with Roxio.

Roxio 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.
