Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

This software in not a measureable improvement on their Basic Roxio 5. After installing Roxio 6, I experienced so many problems with my installed software that I had no choice but to abandon the Roxio 6. To those out there who have Sony software installed, DO NOT ATTEMPT the installation of Roxio 6. Reading their incompatible guide at their Web site, Im amazed that Roxio will run in tandem with any comparable software. I award one star, cause the system will not allow a lower rating.

I purchased the Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum Edition in November 2004, after Microsofts SP2 for Windows XP made my Basic 5 version unusable. Ive been exchanging emails with Roxio Technical Support ever since. I can burn a data CD only to a CDR (for some reason ECDC 6 does not recognize my CDRWs). I cannot copy a CD using the Disc Copier function. For some reason the ECDC 6 recognizes my burner only through the Creator Classic function. What is wrong with companies these days? They grab the money and run. Never mind whether the customer gets the functionality they are paying for. Ill be looking into Nero or Sonic, which Ive heard positive comments from live users. Amazon.com, on the other hand, is one customer-oriented company!

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.

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.

I 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.

I wholeheartedly agree with every negative article related to this product - if you use windows XP. As an example the Label maker does not refresh properly so the graphics bleed into one another. Tech support almosts laughs at people with their standard comments - oh its going to be fixed on the next upgrade. Im not sure how they let this product out the door. Its too bad becuase their earlier versions did its job relatively seemlessly.

I put in an order for this (I had version 5 on a prior PC) so that Id have some decent DVD software on my new PC. I treated the negative reviews here with skepticism. But they appear to be bang on target. So far, it has completely prevented XP from restarting (giving me a message that Windows can no longer figure out whether I have a valid license or not -- trust me, I do; and then on another reinstall hungup half-way through copying files. For something as basic as disk copying you shouldnt have to deal with the kind of problems that bleeding-edge games or other exotic software present. Even with the current rebate Im out ... because I figured it couldnt be all bad. Forget it. Ill go back to the earlier version.

Nobody else in that market has a comprehensive set of tools like Creator 6. Nero doesnt come close. The new Disc Copier will copy games that nobody else can touch, and burning audio CDs is much faster than older versions. I like how the new project selector ties all the programs together and how it can be minimized on screen so you always have access to your burning apps. Great job Roxio.

I have used roxios toast program in my college classes. This product is pitiful in compairson. I burned my first CD-R on it and took it to a friends house to view the stuff on it. Upon putting it into the CD drive it autoinstalled somehting called the roxio viewer on the system. This viewer is frequentely the cause of problems (as I subsequentely found out). It rewrote something in the BIOS and is causing problems with the whole system. In addition it rewrote part of the CD-Driver...adn now it will not work at all. The only possible fix is to re-install teh drivers from my operation system disk....which is impossible with out a working CD Drive. And this may not even fix the problem...

Been using Roxio for years, but found Corel Movie Factory 7 easier.
