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

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.

Roxio Creator NXT Pro 8 | Complete CD/DVD Burning and Creativity Suite is a perfect software. Ive used Roxio Creator for years and each upgrade gets better than the one before. When you do a lot of video and photograph manipulation, this is the product for you. Its all in one.

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!

Would not download onto my computer

Roxio software would not backup my Turbo Tax tax return files because the name length exceeded 106 characters. This is a very old problem, fixed years ago by other software. Roxio does not have any info within last 5 years on this problem. There is a lack of documentation and of user Q and A type pages on the product that are categorized and searchable. The company is living off its reputation. The software works erratically. You have to turn off antimalware including Windows own to get it to work in a reasonable period of time. It doesnt tell you this. This is often true, and you have to have learned this over the years. I wonder how people who are not full time professionals manage in cases like this. This company doesnt care about them. The interface is extremely poor and you have to be very experienced with Roxio and other programs for many years to figure it out. You need a deep programming shop level culture to get this program to work. The current interface is worse than the old one and less easy to use and figure out. You are burning cash not disks when you buy this product. There are freeware programs that are not limited by the file length for backing up Turbo Tax and other critical files. How would Turbo Tax use my prior year return if I depended on this product for backup?

Audio

Generally Id say that this suite is pretty darned comprehensive with a whole lotta bells and whistles that most people wont need. But if you are like me and you like messing around even if its not for work/school, then this is a pretty cool suite. I *used* to know what I was doing about 10 or so years ago. Technology has come a long way and my learning curve is being challenged. But so far Ive managed a simple video edit and Im starting to work with the photo editing. I would love to have either a simple booklet to get you started or a short tutorial showing what each thing can do ... Im sure theres something online and Ill be going to look for that soon. That said, having used programs like this before, I know Ill figure it out. One thing that happened that I hope wont become an issue is that when I was messing with the Creator on a video, the program just shut down and I lost my work (thankfully not far along and I was experimenting so it didnt matter). I also had an issue with Paintshop suddenly not wanting to open and I restarted my computer which fixed it. This is a relatively new computer so it shouldnt be an issue there. If it keeps happening Ill be back to update. For now, Im generally pleased. If I manage to create anything really cool Ill upload it here.

It would be better if there was more control over font and color of Titles like in the older versions.

This product will not play 5.1 Surround Sound or DTS as it advertises! Nero 2021 or Cyberlink Media Suite wound be a better choice for a well round suite! I am running a 10 core process @ 4Ghz with 16Gb of RAM and SSD dives and the install took over 1/2 hour to install!
