ROXIO EASY CD & DVD

Roxio has always made a good product and this is no exception. The product does all it says . I enjoy making CDs so I dont have my original cds in the car. If some one gets away with a burnt CD ,I still have the original ! Good easy to understand software.

I bought this software at a local store to burn some disks for a friends birthday gift. In the end the cds never worked, wasted dvds and time, the box is now in a heap of useless computer junk from years past. Dont let the price fool you or better yet let it be a warning. Piece of crap.

I like this program (Easy CD & DVD)! I have Windows XP and this program has the Roxio (Sonic) Express Labeler--which a is simple CD & DVD BURNING program. I do NOT like the NERO software (because of TOO MANY bells and whistles--stuff that right now I DONT NEED! Thank goodness I found the labeler I was used to I believe this used to be the Sonic Express Labeler--becase it does the same things the labeler someone else put on my computer(a HP Media Center Edition), used to do--only it had the Sonic name on it. Who needs bells and whistles of NERO? I dont! Roxio Easy CD & DVD is the one for me--and maybe you too--especially if youre frustrated with NERO and what you want is burning software without the frills of Nero. *Roxio Easy CD & DVD is it! * This program works with Lightscribe DVD/CD Writers. It is a basic easy program Who needs frills? When all you need is simple?

I own this product. It no longer works. Where Roxio has a fix for Creator 2011 and 2010, they have nothing for earlier software. VERY BAD. I will never buy another Roxio product!

I FIND THAT NEITHER OF THE TWO DISCS WHICH I PURCHASED DOES THE JOB AS WELL AS MY OLD ROXIO BASIC, WHICH WAS LOST IN A COMPUTER CLEANUP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. HAVING MISPLACED THE DISC, I ORDERED VERSION 10 WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH MY COOL EDIT PRO, SO ORDERED THE ROXIO VERSION 5 AND GOT THE #5 PRO (NOT BASIC) WHICH LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND DOES NOT WORK AS EASY AS THE OLD BASIC VERSIION. AFTER MANY HOURS OF TRYING TO DRAG MUSIC INTO THE BURNER FROM MY COOL EDIT PRO, AND TRYING TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, I HAVE GIVEN UP, BUT HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANOTHER BURNER YET. BUT I HAVE MUCH MUSIC WAITING TO BURN FOR MY WEBSITE MUSIC LINE (YOSEMITERADIO.COM) IAM ONLY INTERESTED IN MUSIC, NOT VIDEOS. THE MUSIC WAITING IS FROM OLDER VINYL WHICH I CLEAN UP AND USE ON THE WEB SHOW. THIS IS NOT A FAULT OF AMAZON. I AM JUST LOOKING FOR THE ROXIO BASIC 5.

Good program, easy to use

After reading mixed reviews about Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, I decided to give it a shot based on past experience with Roxio products. Ive used Roxio products in the past to make flawless music CD creations and copies. Recently, I updated my CD-R drive with a DVD-R burner from a reputable company. The software that came with the burner wasnt exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to give Roxio a shot. I have had nothing but success making music CDs (both copying and making MP3 cd creations). When it comes to copying DVDs.. this is where the problems start. Although this software doesnt allow you to make copies of DVDs with copy-protection, there are ways to get around it with the appropriate software. Whenever I open the Disc Copy feature, and insert my DVD (from my personal collection to back-up), the program freezes, and basically renders my computer helpless. The Disc Copy program is still open, but it will not allow you to click on any of the buttons in the program. Windows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) allows you to end the program, but my computer still doesnt cooperate. I cannot open 90% of my programs after this happens, and if you attempt to shut down windows (restart or turn off) it will just go back to your desktop window from its half-way attempt after your screen has transitioned from color to b&w. If you use DVD Shrink (free download) and save the movie to your hard drive, and then go to the Disc Copy feature and pull the film from your hard drive to back up, it doesnt freeze for some reason. (But I have yet to make it all the way to a 100% copied disc without getting a write error message... so far about 5 attempts equaling 5 more coasters to add to my desk). Let me note... I did go to Roxios home page to update the software, and my DVD-R firmware is the most recent to date. After all of this... still just frustration. Roxios tech support is a joke, and apparently you have to pay for phone support. Other reviewers had the exact same problem, so it isnt just a freak glitch. I should have listened to my gut and went another route, but decided to give Roxio a $30 donation. So in a nutshell, if youre planning on using this program to make copies of DVDs... SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I loved it before I bought a pc with vista and now sadly it is not compatible.

This product is not even named in the drop down menu on the Roxio website so you cant register it. If you cant register it, you cant contact customer service or get updates. Its a catch-22. You cant fix the problem about being unable to register it, because you are unable to register it. Because you cant register it, you cant get any online help about it. Since Roxios website does not recognize that this program exists, you cant even get information in frequently asked questions. If Roxio does not recognize that this program exists, then why should you buy it? Save yourself the grief.

Seriously, reading these reviews is making me wonder about which version of this product everyone is using. I am using version 10 and it does work in Windows 7 as well as XP without a problem. I purchased this product as a physical DVD copy at Wal Mart a couple of years ago. I have an Optiarc DVD RW and also an Hp DVD writer that I use when using this product. It also has a decent photo editor and also audio and video capture. Some of the items, which are many, in this product are not self explanatory, for example the movie maker. Any information you need is either under the Help tab or various places around the internet.
