Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

I have been very happy with Roxio products until this upgrade. This product should never have been released. During the upgrade, it destroyed my Windows 2000. All I had when Roxio got through with my machine is the blue screen of death. I had to reinstall Windows, ALL my programs ALL my drivers, and I had reset ALL my preferences and defaults, I never could recover my DSL connection. And my MP3 files all disappeared. I lost a weeks worth of work, probably several clients, and several thousand dollars. After speaking with Roxio technical help (on my dime, of course)for several hours, the person at Roxio admitted that THIS WAS CAUSED BY A KNOWN BUG. They had no work-around; they had not recalled the product; they had no warning for suckers like me. All they had was Im sorry. Thats not good enough. The icing on the cake is that the program doesnt even work well. I have yet to be able to make an audio cd that doesnt skip and distort. I hate to think about the data cds Ive made.

After mucho Hype I made a terrible assumption that spending big bucks on a recording suite that it would include most features as other similiar products but I made a huge mistake. I honestly cant believe that the folks at Roxio actually use this product because if they did they would have noticed the massive holes in standard features that it is lacking. I wanted an MP3 solution mainly, with an option to get a DVD burner later but I have many complaints. * It will not allow you to use your own MP3 naming format. You can only use the 3 presets, so it is necessary to go back after every rip & rename every track to what it should be. Totally ignoring what a customer wants to do- you must do it Roxios way or do it yourself. * Standard features like normalization are simply left out. If you have cds at a different volume level- too bad, buy another product to do what this one should do. * Simple items are made cumbersom such as CDDB- which finds the names but you must refresh everytime you accept what the CDDB finds or your tracks will get named Track1 & so on. This is just extra keystrokes for what should already have been done.... again making it cumbersom. * Comes with a 350 page book telling you everything except what you want to do or know. Want to find out how to burn an ISO? No table of contents to just search ISO. You must wait on pages & pages of worthless timeconsuming Manuals via PDF. This is really the unforgivable part. * Things like DVD builder are amazingly enept. One example is that there are 2 options to save- Save & Save as. Both do the same thing. Save as doesnt allow you to save as anything or to anyplace- Name? OK saved just like the option for Save. This is a total lack of testing & product development & lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Now I did give it 1 extra star due to the baseline of support does pick up my dvd/cd recorders. Many that I have tried in the past dont do that... But I guess I will have to throw this in as a wash of my cash & try to find a product that works. Thanks for nothing Roxio.

Everytime I used the product to make a cd (data cd or music) it would lock up my computer to the point I had to physically power it off. Roxios support people told me to remove everything from my start up list. I dont want to be doing that everytime I want to use the stupid program... I finally gave up and deleted (uninstalled) the program, only to find out by doing that it deleted part of my Photo Suite program as well. Stay far away from this bomb...

I had the Platinum 5 version which I upgraded. Using Windows ME, this worked fairly well. I then upgraded to a Dell 4550, which came with a Basic 5 Version, and Windows XP, that worked but wouldnt make MP3 CDs. So I decided to upgrade to Version 6. The result was disaster, the program worked for 24 hours, then crashed, repeated error messages, would not work at all. I called Dell, they tried very hard but could not correct the problem. In the end I had to reformat the hard drive, at Dells recommendation. I then re-enstalled Version 6, the same problem, I then called Roxio. Their tech and I spent 3 hours on the phone trying to cure this problem, no luck. I then erased the program, and returned it. I purchased Nero 5.5 which works fine. If your are reading this, dont believe the guys who say it works fine, IT DOES NOT, be very careful, my re-format took 8 hours, including new down loads. The people at Dell and Roxio did not know what caused the problem. My own guess is that some where there are severe incompatabilities between ECDC and XP. In truth I cannot recomend a product which seems so variable. Good Luck

Well, my trials with Easy CD/DVD 6 started with consistent lockups while loading on my Windows 2000 machines. A reboot would fix it, yet sometimes it would persist. Roxio had no solutions for this and claimed it must have been another program running at the same time. Once I could get it running I attempted to burn a few DVDs, strangely enough it showed some DVD-RW disks as 1x and some as 2x off the same spindle. (Not very promising). Beyond that It continuously coughed up Buffer Underrun errors, when previous software had never given me error (Im using a DRU-500 drive). The Underruns literally wasted the RW disks I was using, Im hoping another program will be able to recover them, Easy CD shows disk unusable. And I am lead to believe it *IS* software related since its happened now with 3 different media brands. Testing on my second PC running Windows 98 with the same Firewire DRU-500 drive produced the same results (tho the software did load properly). All in all I recommend a strong do not buy rating to Roxios newest product.

Roxios Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 is a huge improvement from Easy CD Creator 5. It has a smooth interface for editing video and burning to DVD. The CD burning of music and data is excellent. The price after rebates is very low, so nows the time to buy.

I got Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 bundled with a DVD+/-RW drive. Needless to say, I was eager to get burning. Ive used Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 for 1.5 years and have been very happy. But, thats neither here nor there. Ill cut to the chase. After installing, I found that all of my hard drives and partitions had been assigned new drive letters, seemingly at random. Furthermore, in Disk Management, most partitions didnt show a letter and those that did show a letter, appeared twice in Windows Explorer. Windows was notifying me that System Volume Information racking.log was corrupt and that I needed to run chkdsk. To make matters worse, Windows no longer identified my system boot drive with the (System) designation, meaning I could delete the partition if I wanted! Uninstalling did not resolve this, so I backed up all my data to an external disk. I then performed a fresh install of Windows XP. I then installed Service Pack 1 and all critical updates. I also installed DirectX 9.0b and Windows Media Player 9. After that, I installed Office XP, followed by Easy CD & DVD Creator 6. I rebooted, and found the exact same problem. Clearly there is some serious problem with this software. Im going back to version 5. For kicks, since I knew Id need to reinstall XP again, I tried to delete the system partition. It let me. A bug this serious shouldve been caught before beta testing.

This is a very old version it is designed for Win XP and Win 7. I tried installing it on win 10 and it wont work!!!!!☹️

Ive read all the on-line reviews at Amazon, hesitated, waited, obfuscated... and finally took the plunge and bought ECDC6. Anyone whos used any previous version of ECDC shouldnt have any problem using this program. Once I ACTUALLY SAT DOWN AND READ THE MANUAL, I found that the program had an easy, intuitive interface, lots of functionality that earlier versions lacked... and, yes Virginia, it DOES run on Windows XP. (My computer is running XP Pro on a 2.4gHz P4, 512MB RAM and two hard drives totalling 240GB) The only reasons I dont give it 5 stars (actually, Im giving 4 1/2) are as follows: 1) After I upgraded from Windows 2000 Professional to Windows XP Professional, I had to remove ECDC6 and then re-install it (Windows XP told me to do this). 2) The functionality of the old Spin Doctor is lost. I should be able to remove crackles and pops from files recorded from a record, then re-save them. Can anyone suggest to me how to do this? Otherwise, I have yet to encounter any of the problems mentioned by folks in previous reviews. ECDC6 is running just fine for me.

I bought this so that I could burn digital video onto a VCD. Every time I tried to burn a CD I got a KERNEL32.dll error and the program would shut down. Roxios tech support is useless. I searched the web for a possible answer and found that a lot of other people have the same issue. I am running this on Windows 98 and my system easily meets the minimum system requirements.
