Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

Roxio is known for having bugs, but this program is the world class bug infested software of all time. I dont even know where to start. But suffice to say that I allowed the program to be updated last night and now the thing cant even format a CD-RW. It wont even print labels, even ones created with earlier versions of this product, and the label maker was traditionally the only bug-free part of the suite. I have never seen a more blantant disregard for customer satisfaction. Uninstalling it was one of the highlights of my life.

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...

Do you know if u ever need to get support, or to download a patch for your paid Roxio software, registration IS required from their website?! Yes everytime you need an software update/patch, you need to login with password. Registration needs an valid email address and your ROXIO software key. Thanks to this COMPULSORY registration I need to keep record for one more login/password combination. And Pray that you dont loose your cd key. BTW if your cdburner came with a bundle Roxio Easy creator, forget any update / support from roxio since you dont get a cd key. Somehow this is one evil way ROXIO try to get your business. if one day you upgrade your operating system and need to update for the bundle roxio software, you have to BUY the retail version Easy Creator.

When I installed it, it asked to be rebooted. When it rebooted it knocked out my computer would not reboot. I had to do a system restore but it rebooted into minimum resolution and 16 colors. Trying to change the display settings to a higher resolution and more colors was unsuccessful. Technical support for my video card could not find a solution. Reinstalling Windows did not solve the proproblem. It looks like I will have to do a clean install and reinstall over a 100 applications. When I installed Easy Creator I had no programs running in the background so that was not the problem. Easy Creator has always given me some problems. It is a tempermental program to begin with. I had hoped that Roxio would have solved these problems in the most recent version but it looks like Roxio only made the problems worse.

I installed the product and it promptly screw up my entire system. It deleted files and made others unreadable. The product comes with a 390 page instrtuction book and if, by chance, you have a question not covered in the manual it will cost you $35.00 to ask that question, IF you can get a response. You CAN NOT get On Line Support of any sort. An attempt to sign into their site is greeted with a statement saying they have no record of your E-Mail address and cannot respond. Yet they keep sending promotional material to the same E-Mail address they have no record of. Save yourself Time, Money and A LOT of Problems - Dont buy this product!!!!!!

I actually bought this item for a friend who has Windows Me on his computer and Creator 6 is compatible with that OS. Its a very good product and is easy to use.

Id 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.

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 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.

This version has Audio Central which does not have near the functionality of the old spin doctor. Creating a wav file at 10mb/min isnt worth the upgrade. I just want my mp3. Im going back to 5.
