Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

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.

I am a systems analyst with 20 years of experience, I would never have released a product as full of bugs as this one. The concept is fantastic! However, the product will not preform as advertised. When trying to put together a 15 minute slide presentation with audio sound you will experience not being able to adjust the sound to the photos in a cohesive manner. The music (sound) will always be too long or two short. While working on the project you will experience the screen going blank while the music continues to play, this makes it 100% labor intensive to try to finish a project because you will spend all of your time starting over. When using random transitions you will never know how long each one will take. The majority of the time the transition is 2 seconds, however sometimes it is longer. Once-in-a-while the random transitions will disappear half way through the project. Forget about technical support. I have made several phone calls and when trying what the technician suggests I find that it doesnt work. For example, they suggested using the remote control(part of the program) to view the project. They indicated that I would be able to fast forward and that the photos and music would stay together making it easier to hear and see what song was playing with what picture without going through the entire slide show again. I will never know because there isnt any way to stop the fast forward action. Once you start the fast forward it goes all the way to the end. Oh, by the way, did I mention that Roxio wants to charge you [money amount] for a technical service call. Its pretty bad when you pay [money amount]for a product that barely works and then have to pay to find out that the technical support isnt helpful. When I asked the technical service person (Liz - in Toronto)if any of the things she was telling me were in the user manual she replied I dont know, Ive never read it. Other little annoyances like the up and down slide on the side tab freezes and you can only move up, which prevents you from seeing anything at the end of your project. Eventually it comes back but in the meanwhile its a pain. Several people really liked the one short dvd I was able to create and wanted to know about the product. When I told them it took me a week to make a 15 minute dvd they quickly changed their mind and told me to let them know when the prodcut is perfected. Too bad for Roxio - they had a good idea that could have sold very well.

Received Easy CD&DVD Creator6 Platinum for Christmas because I had really liked version 4. Have not been able to get a complete install on it to date, and the parts that did install didnt function right. Went to Roxios support site & found that many purchasers had same[and many other]problems. Some even had to restore their PC. Sent Emails to their tech support and received one answer so far. It took 11 DAYS for them to answer, and it was just a bunch of babble,nothing to do with the problem. I have uninstalled&deleted everything I can find related to it on my PC, and thrown the blasted thing away. I will NEVER buy another ROXIO product again.

I spent a lot of time reading the negative reviews for this product. I decided to buy it anyway. Prior to installing the software, I made a full back up of my system as other reviewers said that they had trouble booting up after installation. I am running Win XP Home and my installation worked without issue. I love the new interface and new tools available. I have not had one error or problem and the burning speed is about 25% faster than version 5. Make sure you completely remove all of version 5 before installing the new version and you shouldnt have any issues.

V6 is near perfect for my use of convertsions CD, WMA, MP3, and label creation. Too bad they discontinued the cohesive music properties of this product in V7 and on! IE: only available on XP machines! (I bought an old working XP laptop as a backup to machine I use it on.

Useful, but your OS should have everything that you need these days.

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 have used about all versions of Roxio CD-Maker even buggy Verson 5. The new drag and drop icon works great. I have tried other cd-creator software, but none as work as easy or quick as Roxie. Install was breeze. I notice if I use no-name CD-R my system will hangup with any errors. I would said it is good buy.

I never had any problems with version 5, and havent had any with version 6 yet. Its a well-rounded and easy-to-use product, although I didnt install Photosuite as I already have the much more comprehensive Photoshop Elements 2.0 for that. The only really annoying aspect of this software is the fact that it forces you to register if you want to update the product. I usually register software anyway, but I do NOT like being forced to do so. Making it even worse, I had already registered with version 5, but there is no way to log in during the registration process. However, my logon ID from the prior registration is still active, and this registration would not let me re-register with that logon ID. In other words, it would force me to make up a second logon ID--how stupid are the programmers at Roxio? I decided to make up everything on the registration form, which worked fine and allowed me to download the product updates. Interestingly, the registration process does not allow you to have a logon ID with the characters roxi in it... Conclusion: I recommend this product, maybe even highly, although it may not be a necessary upgrade for many current users of version 5 Platinum. But I also highly recommend that you make up EVERYTHING on your registration process, even if like me you normally dont have a problem registering software.

I too read all the negative reviews on this product but decided to go ahead with trying it anyway. I have the home edition of Windows XP and it works just fine on mine. I dont use the photosuite or dvd builder, I only needed a burner and something to make my own music discs. I had versions 4 and 5 before and I figured this one could not be as bad as was written. But thats just my experience, Im sure the other people had the problems they say. Its up to each person to decide I guess.
