Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 [OLD VERSION]

What can i say "AWSOME" !!! That sum's it up ina nutshell :) !!!

I've been a loyal Roxio fan for years now. Easy Media Creator v 10 is my 3rd upgrade. Unfortunately, they no longer support the product. I have been wasting time trying to solve a problem with the VideoWave portion of the software using photos & movies. No matter what I've tried, the movie comes out looking like someone tossed a stack of photos on the screen - - there are multiple edges of prior scenes showing throughout the movie making for a distracting mess.

After wasting hours working with this version I'm ready to move on to a non-Roxio product.

This software sucks. It is confusing, inefficient and unnecessarily cumbersome. It advertizes being able to edit AVCHD which was blatant false advertising. That was my primary reason for buying it, and it would not recognize the HD file type from my Canon HG10 camcorder. When I contacted tech support about the AVCHD issue, they told me I would need to get Roxio 2009 to do that, even though I had just bought Creator 10 at Best Buy a week earlier (total waste of $100). Additionally, it would not recognize my music CD projects that were left over from Roxio 6, so that was a pain. I had to make them all over again. It did not recognize those file types, either. Crappily, it made me remove Roxio 6 from my computer before Creator 10 would download. It can't seem to burn a copy of a burned music CD. It gives an error every time, but ruins the disc so it can't be used again (I wasn't using RW). When I made a slideshow of photos and videos in the Videowave program, I then learned that I cannot make a chapter selection menu in that program, I needed to make it in "My DVD" to be able to do that, but I couldn't transfer the slideshow to the My DVD program, so I just wasted days worth of work for a subpar DVD. They could have made all of this a lot easier to use. Roxio sucks, their tech support is useless and they deserve to go out of business. This the last piece of Roxio software I will ever own. My advice is to look elsewhere for your software needs.

I've supported this product since EMC 6, so was not surprised with its robust features. Roxio continues represent and reflect today's multimedia and HD needs.

This is a comprehensive package of tools to manage all kinds of multimedia files. Backing up your files to CD or DVD is a snap with the drag and drop interface. The Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 does much more than this, however. The starting screen has a panel on the left with options including, Audio, Data Backup, Copy, Video, Media and Devices, Photo and Tools. The useful Audio features allow you to copy, rip or create your own music CDs. Media and Devices allows you to browse, manage and share photos, videos and music. The Copying Tools allow copying of DVD movies and burning of disc images. The simple Photo Tools allow enhancement of photos, and creation of panoramas, photo projects and slideshows, and emailing of photos. The Video Tools are quite comprehensive and it appears that this is the direction in which Roxio wants to take its product. It allows you to burn video directly from a camcorder to DVD, to capture video, to make videos with custom sound tracks and transitions, and finally to make DVDs. It supports conversion of different video formats including .avi, .mpeg, .mpg, .wmv, .mov and there is extensive DivX support. I have not used all Roxio 10's features, and the video ones not at all, but the ones that I have used are intuitive and easy to use.
