Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

I wholeheartedly agree with every negative article related to this product - if you use windows XP. As an example the Label maker does not refresh properly so the graphics bleed into one another. Tech support almosts laughs at people with their standard comments - oh its going to be fixed on the next upgrade. Im not sure how they let this product out the door. Its too bad becuase their earlier versions did its job relatively seemlessly.

I have used roxios toast program in my college classes. This product is pitiful in compairson. I burned my first CD-R on it and took it to a friends house to view the stuff on it. Upon putting it into the CD drive it autoinstalled somehting called the roxio viewer on the system. This viewer is frequentely the cause of problems (as I subsequentely found out). It rewrote something in the BIOS and is causing problems with the whole system. In addition it rewrote part of the CD-Driver...adn now it will not work at all. The only possible fix is to re-install teh drivers from my operation system disk....which is impossible with out a working CD Drive. And this may not even fix the problem...

This is probably the most user-unfriendly software Ive ever bought when it comes to creating music CDs. Everytime I needed to burn a music CD I had to go to the tutorial for the various steps. Version 5 was great compared to 6. The only problems with 5 is that it cant be used with Windows XP and you have to download a patch to fix the problems with it. I had no problem like others with installing 6. However some months after I did install it I started having problems with the drag and drop software. This is software that can be used to drag and drop any file (music or non-music) to burn a CD. It turned out to be a nightmare. CDs were not able to be finalized. When you install the drag and drop software it simply takes over for the CD burning method of Windows XP (which is far, far superior). I uninstalled the software and simply did a custom install by just installing the photosuite (the only useful thing in Creator 6).

Roxio 6 platnium picks up where 5 left off by expanding the capabilities of the core program itself. The burning aspect leaves little to be desired for DVDs, CDs are burnt with precision and if installed correctly causes little problems (XP sp1). Overall, it does exactly what its supposed to and nothing else.

In May I purchased a MiniDV Camcorder and wanted to make DVDs of my home movies. I purchase Easy CD & DVD Creator because it seemed to have all the features I wanted, and none of the features I didnt want. I wanted a simple video capturing utility, a simple video editing tool, and the ability to create menus on my DVDs. I am able to easily download my video from my camera (via Firewire), edit my scenes, and create a Themed Menu very easily. I recently came back from a family vacation and had over two hours of video and nearly 200 digital pictures. I used Easy CD & DVD to create a DVD that not only included my edited video, but a slide show of my pictures set to music. The quality was excellent, and I am very happy with the results.

This version has Audio Central which does not have near the functionality of the old spin doctor. Creating a wav file at 10mb/min isnt worth the upgrade. I just want my mp3. Im going back to 5.

Dont listen to the others who gave this a one star. I too was initially confused by it. Once I actually took the time to sit down and read through the very boring instructional booklet, I found it to be very user friendly. I will be the first to admit that if you are going from an older version to this new version, YOU WILL BE CONFUSED IF YOU DO NOT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. READ THE BOOK, GENIUS! Roxio Software Developers-please update the next version to allow you to print the library or a songlist. Thanks.

Well, it might seem so at first, but it actually turns out to be a great deal. Offer a set of tools from CD to DVD burning and Photo-Editing. This update aims to provide users with a all in one solution that continues its tradition of ease of use. Because DVD-Burners are not white spread or people might not be burning home movies, the most used application or component must Easy CD Creator Classic, which still remains true to it self with minor improvements to user interface. If you do want expand your capabilities and to new areas such a DVD Burning which I think is great medium for easily back up your data. Burning movies is very easy, the 123 step approach the program takes make this a great asset and fun project for the family. The Photo-Editing solution is not inviting and not recommended, as I already use Photoshop Elements which is awesome enough to do what I want. But for simple jobs Easy CDs Photo-Editor will come true for many users especially as a bargain. Users who might want save a few dollars can look to the All in One solution,Nero 6 Ultra Edition, that has almost everything except the Kitchen sink. Overall, if you want the simplicity with extra tools that grow and expand into to other areas with you, Easy CD & DVD Creator, is certainly an easy choice.

Seamless, fantastic, and stable. A solid addition to the computer. A bit more professional then the last version, Version 6 is flawless with Windows XP (SP1 needs to be installed) The drag feature is not only new but excellent. I would recommend this to any burner out there. make sure you read the requirements, and go to town!

I have been using PCs since 1982. I have purchased many commercially developed software programs. Roxio and Easy CD Ver 6 wins first place as the worst program I have ever purchased. Technical support is a joke to say the least. I will NEVER buy anything from Roxio or any successors. I purchased this version in Sept. 2003 and have lost count as to the number of times I have installed and uninstalled this software. I tried calling the tech. support number and the area code had changed. They have no phone number that you can call without a credit crd number being used. There is no mailing address, save their legal department. I just wish I had been happy with version 5 which came installed on my new computer. The web site support is very lacking in assistance. Caveat Emptor is the best expression for Roxio Products. Find an alternate product that does the same job. The reason for one star is that is the least you can use, on this site.
