5 Star Review "Easy" Media Creator

Strengths:

I prefer this program over Nero since I learned or used this product when I became acquinted with computers.

Weaknesses:

It can have a difficult user interface to the beginner but once you "tinker" with it you become accustom to it.

Posted Dec 21, 2006 - Easy Media Creator works for me since I burn multiple disks at one time. I usually burn 3 DVDs at a time and Easy Media Creator allows for this ability. You have to have multiple burners installed on your system though. I am not sure if Nero offers this feature. I do use Nero at work and it seems to work fine there.

5 Star Review Enough changes to upgrade

Strengths:

spanking new features such as blu-ray, ringtone maker, psp/ipod/mobile phone media, new program features

Weaknesses:

If you use 8 may want to check if 9 is for you

Posted Oct 28, 2006 - Relative speaking the new version isn't that expensive so some version 8 owners may just upgrade. If you are making sure that you get your money's worth, then look at the new specs carefully. I decided to buy version 9 even though I bought 8 less than a year ago. I was so impressed with 8 that I even reviewed the product. Now that I have 9 I can say I'm not disappointed. The menus remain virtually the same but that almost hides the fact that there's a lot more features. My favorite program is the audio widget which records anything that plays on the pc. There is more timed control and a mute pc sounds button. There are many more choices for creating your own menus. The video editor now chops up footage into chapters. The burning part has added blueray. However you can convert video, photos, and music for use on portables. That includes the PSP portable, perhaps a more obscure format than ipod and mobile phones.

5 Star Review More than new features - older programs also upgraded

Strengths:

More powerful tools added to editors, retains reliability

Weaknesses:

In my opinion the weaknesses from 8 have been fixed

Posted Sep 21, 2006 - In some ways the jump from 7.5 to 8 was more dramatic, perhaps that's why I had to download a major fix. I couldn't believe that 9 installed and worked without any downloads, even small patches. However noting that the move from 8 to 9 is smoother, that doesn't mean that the the new features are less meaningful. If you don't have some sort of digital music/video player, you're likely to get one in the near future. Besides the conversion and compression tools, ver. 9 also offers editing tools to cut out unwanted audio/video, or even to chop them into parts. My mp3 player is frankly cheap and w/o many features, so it's difficult to navigate a podcast. Instead I chopped up the audio into several parts so that I didn't have to worry about finding my place again if I were interrupted. The photo and video programs seem to have the same basic interface as 8, but there are additional tools. No doubt the video program is pumped up since it can handle 32 track editing. The menu creation for media navigation is better than ever. The templates are better looking and you can get some creative one of a kind menus.

5 Star Review more device support, more of everything really

Strengths:

Not flashy but amazingly effective software tools

Weaknesses:

sometimes more elaborate editing can be slow

Posted Oct 16, 2006 - To be fair emc 9 works with Vista so I don't know if performance would be better on the new OS. I have XP and only a 1.6 processor so I'm using a pc on the lower end of the spectrum. Still I can't complain, most of the tools do the job quickly. Portable devices are a welcome addition considering that most users of the suite have or will have a portable player. I was able to set defaults for my mobile phone so that video footage could be transfered almost instantly. The video size is adjusted accordingly. If you're into music, emc9 can handle recording, conversions, and editing. I've turned many of my cd songs into mp3 files. I was able to set the volume level too. Now that I see the possibilities, I may get a better pc so I can also burn blu-ray dvds. Of course the burners are ridiculously expensive so I'm on the lookout for a deal. At least I know I'll be ready since emc9 has the right tools.

5 Star Review Countdown to Christmas with EMC

Strengths:

Makes projects fast, even though there are a lot of choices

Weaknesses:

no major ones

Posted Nov 15, 2006 - Since Xmas looms around the corner, I'll use my current projects to illustrate the software's capabilities: media projects: easy to make slide shows, cards, and calendars; even children can use the program photo editing: nice feature of being able to edit the photo while still in the project mode although the functions are limited here; more advanced functions can be accessed in the photo program like transparency, edge fading, cloning, panorama stiching video editing: can add soundtrack, cut video into chapters, add transitions, FX audio editing: imports from different sources including old nondigital recordings, makes transitions and fades disc authoring: just choose the media type and if the files need conversions the program will do them without user specification; disc copy by image creation, disc to disc methods menu/label creation: good number of templates, can use music index to create menu based on artist, genre, title, etc. These are the main program I'm using now. I'll have a background music dvd, slide shows in widescreen format, and some home movies ready for gifts, and all of it will be done with EMC. I'm getting tremendous mileage out of this one suite. Of course after Xmas I'll still have much use for it.

5 Star Review Astounding new features

Strengths:

Familiar interface with more formats and better programs; more than an 'in name only' upgrade

Weaknesses:

Preferred old default of viewing files by file type, but you can reconfigure to this view

Posted Sep 17, 2006 - There are some obvious changes to the program, new portable player tools. The program converts video footage for play on an iPod, PSP, or cellphone. There are a number of compression options to fit more footage on the player. These compression tools are also useful if you transfer from several discs or a larger capacity disc. You can use maximum compression and go from 9GB to 4.7 GB. I have a dual layer dvd burner but the discs are rather expensive so anything that can save space is a big plus. Another big addition is the ringtone creator program. There are a number of smaller programs which do this function, but I'm glad they included it in the suite. This suite covers more than I expected and I don't anticipate that I have to get any more programs to do digital media things.

5 Star Review Insanely addictive

Strengths:

Has retained its sensible structure even though more programs have been added

Weaknesses:

Do you need them all? You may find there's more that you will use after you start using it, or it may just take up space.

Posted Jan 16, 2007 - For me this is extremely accessible. I don't know a lot about the video and audio formats except that you need different programs to use them. I tried the roxio video and audio players and now I can run all the formats from one program. I also don't know the name of the PSP video format. However when I connected it to my pc, roxio automatically chose the format. If you are a techie type, perhaps you would like to choose the format yourself. I think this program is made for nontechies who are learning the new digital world. PhotoSuite is also a very good editor and has lots of choices. Still it is easy to use and there is a manual included if you like a reference printed book.

5 Star Review Comprehensive suite

Strengths:

more that you could ever use, familiar interface

Weaknesses:

state-of-the-art means have your OS upgraded

Posted Jan 30, 2007 - I've never encountered such a large suite that manages to remain accessible. Most programs sacrifice user friendliness for complexity. Even though you can do a lot, the steps are simple to follow. I would caution newbies though that the media manager when arranged by media type may have some old thumbnails. I didn't encounter any problems in the folder arranger though. Anyway you can burn disks. If you run into problems, there is a recovery utility which could pinpoint the disk problem and even repair it.

5 Star Review The media bomb

Strengths:

Complete and uninhibited editing and burning capability of any media other than protected DVD movies.

Weaknesses:

I honestly can't think of any.

Posted Feb 28, 2007 - I'm still acclimating myself to all the bells and whistles of this broad program. This is to music and movies what Photoshop is to images. Not only can you import ANY media under the sun, but you can convert it into any format you like at any quality setting. This is one thing Photoshop isn't, though. It's user friendly and saves anywhere in your project. This program is easy enough for the novice yet complex enough for the enthusiast. I highly recommend this program to anyone who loves editing media.

5 Star Review How did they stuff so much in one package?

Strengths:

Multiple programs, 2 video editors which differ in features, good burning program, easy media device conversions, almost all major media formats

Weaknesses:

Large suite takes large power and space, may not need all it has to offer

Posted May 10, 2007 - With several media products available I sorted through many and got 9. It has the elusive tivo file support which I couldn't find elsewhere. It also has a song database which will id songs and fill in song data. Those distinguishing features swayed my decision. Now I find that the program has an easy to use system. I think users will find it fast and easy to learn, even casual users.

5 Star Review Very Best

Strengths:

Very basics of media are covered, like photo, audio, video editing, conversions, disk authoring; the best interface I've seen in a big suite

Weaknesses:

video needs power so don't expect much if you don't have the processor, however other programs should work

Posted May 10, 2007 - From making simple slide shows to creating music videos, this is a great program. I would not expect such a wide range in one suite considering that most companies make money by separating the components. Roxio has been making suites a long time but now they've updated to include tivo, portable devices, and ringtones. Yes, even cellphones are covered. The program will resize photos and even video for playing on cellphones. And vice versa you can transfer media from phones to pc. A great buy for people of different needs.

5 Star Review No kidding, the best I've used

Strengths:

The menu gets to the point, i.e. it's easy to find your task and then use many automated features

Weaknesses:

Puts the tasks in layman's terms so very technically oriented people may prefer more control over the tasks

Posted Jun 16, 2007 - So far I've burned music, data, and video dvds in different ways. The simplest way is to drag files onto the disk icon. It's best to keep music files separate if you don't need dolby sound because it takes more time to burn. Anyway the program uses set parameters to determine the type of disk to burn based on the files chosen. It will also make the conversion necessary to utilize videos off the disk. Some formats require conversion otherwise they can't be played directly from the disk. This is just one part of the gigantic program. But I think many of the other features follow the disk burning method and are straight forward.

5 Star Review 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.
