Creator 9

Strengths:

Makes burning DVDs easy.

Weaknesses:

None really

Posted Mar 29, 2008 - Creator really has more options than I need, but it works great. Burns relatively fast. The drag to disk applicatoin is sometimes annoying, but it isn't that bad. Good buy for the money.

Product advertise it is supporting Vista. It does not support Ringtones on Vista!

Strengths:

Basic audio

Weaknesses:

False advertisement - not all features are supported by vista. Proof 9.1 version: they REMOVED the ring tone feature...

Posted Feb 10, 2008 - A friend has issues with installation, gettting invalid CD key although for a valid SN, purchased to the cy. Support could not help!Because ringtones cannot be supported and installation is a draw of the luck, Skip this.

Weaknesses:

Posted Dec 29, 2007 - I have had trouble getting the Easy media Creator 9 Suite to be compatible with Vista, contrary to company claims. I have also had trouble reaching a real person to help me with these problems. I'd love it if Roxio would contact me. outdooredge@hotmail.com

Roxio Easy Media Creator 9

Strengths:

Many media features for one price.

Weaknesses:

Cropping feature on photo editing is confusing.

Posted Dec 28, 2007 - I am new to video editing, but wanted to get started. I bought this software after buying a digital video camcorder. When I loaded the software and brought up the video portion for the first time, it told me that my video card did not meet minimum requirements. Mine was an "integrated graphics" setup. If you have a computer that is a few years old, you better check your card. I have bought a new video card, but haven't installed it yet. The audio and photo portions of the suite are working fine. The cropping feature in photo editing is confusing and I haven't fully figured it out yet. That's the only complaint I have on Roxio.

Roxio Creator 9 suite

Strengths:

easy to use

Weaknesses:

install has to be clean

Posted Nov 26, 2007 - Installation became a real pain when the first install failed, leaving remnants that were difficult to remove. Software would not recognize my key code untill I was able to download a fix from the Roxio site. At least they were responsive when I indicated my issue.

Enragingly Buggy!

Strengths:

Nice assortment of applications...if they actually worked reliably.

Weaknesses:

Buggy, slow, bloatware. Junk.

Posted Nov 10, 2007 - I had Nero 6 and it worked fine. Was enticed by CNET and other reviews of Easy Media Creator 9 and low price now that 10 is out. Foolishly bought it and began to spend lots of time recovering from crashes and doing repair re-installs. Plus, it makes you uninstall Nero! (I think Roxio does not want you to have Nero around for easy comparison of their buggy junk with a reliable piece of software.

Buggy & worthless

Strengths:

None noted.

Weaknesses:

Unstable. Unusable.

Posted Oct 10, 2007 - More than half the times I attempted to write a data DVD with the Drag and Drop thingee, it brought my laptop down and left me with a worthless corrupt DVD. I then switched to the classic Data Disc interface. It was more stable -- which is to say it didn't crashed. But EMC Creator failed to copy hidden files. When I contacted to Support to learn the trick for copying such files, I was told that I shouldn't expect to be able to copy them! I got this product for free with my new laptop. I feel it is worth less than I paid.

Extremely crash prone and serious usability problems

Strengths:

It offers to do a lot for a low price and if you are extra patient and are willing to reboot it and reboot your PC over and over, you'll eventually get a one hour video project done.

Weaknesses:

Where do I start? It crashes frequently and its taken Windows XP down once this week. It is very slow, yet my new PC is extra fast and beefy!

Posted Sep 13, 2007 - This product has serious quality problems worthy of the dot-O that follows its version number. Gosh, I wish I had waited for the dot-two version (9.2+) or ponied up $100 more for the Adobe product. The time that I've spent recovering from crashes, freezes, and amazingly slow performance could have paid for a much better product many times over. I still can't get over how slow it is just to insert a single 3MBpixel photo into my video...I had enough time to read several Google news articles before Roxio finished. At least it works 80% of the time, crashing only once every 30 minutes.

Disk burning - best ever

Strengths:

Besides the multi format support there is a quick method to burn disks

Weaknesses:

It can't burn bought movies since there are copyright laws

Posted Aug 26, 2007 - I know many of us would like to copy bought dvds for reasons other than illegal selling. I myself would like to have a duplicate in case the kids destroy the originals. I know there are ways around it so If you are need to there are fixes. However for backing up downloaded clips, movies, shows this will work well. It will even convert them to several portable devices. On the audio front, well there is an audio widget which will record anything coming through the sound card. For those sites not providing downloadable podcasts or sound files you need to listen in real time. If you record the streaming audio you can make a digital file. I've used this numerous times to capture programs so I can hear them at my convenience.

Statisfactory solutions for media

Strengths:

I couldn't find anything missing when it comes to my digital needs

Weaknesses:

No major problems

Posted Aug 5, 2007 - I use this program on both XP and Vista. I haven't found any performance issues on eith operating system. I've also liked MyDVD so I knew I would at least be getting a good disk authoring program. With time I'm now impressed with the other programs. I find VideoWave to be a full range editor. With it I make edits very precisely. I especially like cutting ads out of programs. Some programs have so many that cutting them out saves tons of space. The compression tools also cut space requirements.

Easy CD Creator 9

Strengths:

able to create images from files on hard drive as well as on CD and DVD's..

Weaknesses:

bug when copying unproctected Dvd's when using 'DVD Movie Copy'?

Posted Jul 30, 2007 - There seems to be a bug in the program because it will not copy non protected DVD's without the copy losing letters from the beginning of the title of the copied DVD? Trying to make an exact duplicate using "Copy Dvd Movies" creates the duplicate Dvd ok, but then the title has missing letters from beginning of the title? Example if the original DVD is titled "NewMovie" the duplicate is titled "ewMovie" or "wMovie"? I am not sure why this happens but it was not an issue in version 8 so I have no idea why it is a problem now but it is very dissapointing and there are no updates available yet for Roxio 9 as of this date per their web site? I guess it is always a bad idea to buy a new product right away...!!!

Fanastic Price; The Real Deal

Strengths:

Product exactly as described. Price was the lowest anywhere.

Weaknesses:

No communication after ordering. It showed up at the door without any email contact, etc.

Posted Jul 29, 2007 - I was surprised with such a low price, but there was no catch. It was the full product delivered in a reasonable amount of time. It would have been nice if there would have been some email confirmation of shipping, etc.

Makes my days

Strengths:

Easy to use, complete digital media solutions

Weaknesses:

Very large program

Posted Jul 22, 2007 - I was trying to burn my son's school project video onto a dvd disk and didn't succeed. I downloaded emc9 and even though I don't know why exactly, the disk burned easily. I thought that I was making a mistake when I burned with an old program, but then there weren't many steps in the roxio program. In about 3 steps I got my dvd in time for the deadline. Since then I've tried the video editing software and it is much better than what we used before. It could be that our software was several years old and new formats are in play. Also adding some voiceovers and music wasn't too hard.

Thanks for a good Vista product

Strengths:

A must have Vista product; if you have a good XP pc then it may also be a must have

Weaknesses:

burners and media formats are constantly evolving so it's best to upgrade the program, however you can find good deals if you look

Posted Jul 13, 2007 - I find Vista decent but not groundbreaking. It doesn't handle media alone so you need a good digital media program. First the suite has superior compression/conversion tools. These are needed for moving media to mobile devices and discs. I didn't know that sometimes media files on disks have to be changed so that they are playable. It doesn't matter that I'm not an expert though. The Roxio program will do this automatically. The bad is that you may never learn the ins and ands since the program doesn't require much input.

Don't like media editing - this may change your mind

Strengths:

EAsy to learn video, audio, photo editing programs; disk authoring is also intuitive

Weaknesses:

No huge weaknesses

Posted Jul 5, 2007 - I give this the maximum rating cause it has motivated me to do more with media. I was content to just save media to disks but there are several editing programs that you can just pick up and make progress. Many of them use the standard conventions of editing such as toolbar icons, timelines, multi-tracks and layering. Anyone with some experience should be able to use them in no time. Even if you don't do much editing the converting programs are worth their weight in gold. This has Tivo features so you can take the files an deven change them to work on an iPod.
