Roxio Creator NXT Pro 8 | Complete CD/DVD Burning and Creativity Suite [PC Disc] [Old Version]

Pro’s: • Good burning software with lots of additional software included on the disk • Roxio makes decent performing software and this Creator software is no exception • There are a ton of different video and audio formats you can use for both input and output which is nice. In the past I’ve had to use several programs to complete what this one program does Con’s: • Not a big con but the annoying part of the initial install is that I had to interact way too much during the install process and some of the installs did not complete the first time so I had to make multiple passes at it to get the programs installed Final thoughts: If you do any burning or copying of DVD’s or CD’s then this might be a solid option to handle those tasks. You can also do other tasks like editing and authoring DVD’s, CD’s and home movies but I didn’t dive in to that yet. I received this software for free as part of the Vine program but feel I’ve given it a fair unbiased review. I’ll come back to update my review if anything changes my opinion.

The beat.

Tech support extremely bad. I was kept on hold or waiting for a callback that NEVER CAME. For some reason product didnt install correctly and all downhill from there. Tech support nonexistent!!

Thus us great till you have to change the display settings to get the movie maker to work under the right settings. It is fairly easy to use but can get pretty involved to make it work right. Otherwise it works as needed.

Sadly, this program is not working on my computer and gives me an error message every time I try to use it - stating I do not meet the requirements and my computer does in fact meet all said requirements to run the software.

Good update from Easy CD Creator, here is a quote from the listing Complete Multimedia Suite: 20+ applications to burn, copy and encrypt your data, capture and edit video, audio and photo, record screen, author DVDs, convert and share files, and more. Does not work with copyrighted material such as ripping CDs and DVD.

I picked this up originally to use to convert and burn disks for my kids. I didnt realize that it was kind of a psudo video-editor suite that also can burn disks and convert videos. While this software is fully featured; its also kind of a mixed bag. I noticed that hardware transcoding support isnt available in some instances and lots of things rely on the CPU still. Parts of the software look similar to the old Roxio suite I had years ago (almost a decade at this point) so I guess that is both a good and a bad thing. In the end its hard to really say who this suite is for; since most people dont do too much burning anymore I think that most people will not spend money on a burning suite. However when it comes to like video editing and transcoding; there are better free tools on the market for each of those. This is just has an advantage of being a suite that you just install and it contains everything. However the lack of hardware acceleration on all products (especially not for all GPUs either) makes it harder to recommend again because with most people using laptops these days; you definitely need hardware acceleration for laptops. All in all its not a bad suite of software; I am just not sure who the target audience these days really is.

Im using this just to make DVDs and CDs Downloading music is fine, but sometimes you want a CD. We record things we are performing so I wanted a CD burner. This is a lot more, Highlight reel feature, audio editing, Has a new interface that has been redesigned. Included PainShop Pro 2020 and PhotoMirage. Fancy encryption tools as well. As usual, Corel offers less expensive software, with a lot of extras, so if you can get used to a new interface, despite having standardized on other software, you might find a lot of value in this package.

this product i purchased i sent in a request for help because it would not download to my computer, says it is outdated. i spent a lot of money for something i cannot use and i asked for a refund or at least the right updated version. not fair to be taken with false claims like this. I need my money refunded. i sent in a complaint that said serial numbers were wrong on this product. you shouldnt be allowed to sell something that is outdated. Thanks Larry

Installation: As long as youre system is within required specifications, installation is very simple and straightforward. On the unit I installed this on, I was fully up and running within 15 minutes, including updates. Layout: While this software is highly customizable and feature rich, its very straightforward to use. My girlfriend, whos a beginner to burning, picked up the ins and out of what can and cant be done, within days. Given the capabilities of this software and hers/my experience with it, I consider this appropriate for beginners to advance users. Customizability: This software is capable of doing just about anything you can dream up. Its incredibly customizable, down to the smallest detail. Titles, overlays, music; you name it, this software can do it. Long-term viability: In many ways, this is niche software. So, in my opinion, if youre looking at this product, this is something youre going to use for a while. Given that, I doubt youll need more than what this software can do for at least 2-3 years. Overall: If you want the ability to create and burn with a high amount of customization, this is your software. There is nothing on the market in this particular segment that does more than this software does. Really, the only negative I can think of with this software is youre going to get occasional product advertisements. Outside of that, this is very good software for burning. Recommended 4 stars Cheers!
