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

Ive used four or more different brands of video editing software. This one has some features that I might use, but its not going to be my favorite. I like having more than one video on the timeline at one time ... all playing their audio tracks at the same time ... and each video track is available to choose at any given time for a copy and paste into the main video track. Other software will do this, but I dont see a way to do this in Roxio. Maybe it will ... I might look at tutorials, but I already like another program Im familiar with. Even so, it does have some other usable features. This comes with PaintShop Pro, though, and I like that. I will mention that this crashed twice during installation. It seems MyDVD didnt want to install. I had to choose to bypass it and then add it after installing everything else. The program also crashed during editing a video and while getting familiar with some features and its layout. My PC is not the fastest, but its not slow either. An I7 processor ... and this crashes. Oh well.

Works fine. I didnt have any problems.

Roxio Creator NXT Pro 8 performs well when it works, but post-purchase technical support is non-existent. After waiting almost a week for a response from the Roxio (Corel) technical support team to address my support request, I had to come up with my own solution which I will pass along as a public service. If the software is installed onto a laptop and abruptly crashes (shuts back down) after attempting to open up the program, try turning off the Wi-Fi connection to use the program. This was the answer for my HP ZBook 17 G6 Mobile Workstation. To run the program, turn off the Wi-Fi to open up, and then turn the Wi-Fi back on once Roxio is loaded. To install program updates, turn off Wi-Fi, open up Roxio, turn Wi-Fi back on, download and install updates. Pretty bad when a company will not support its own products. Hope others will benefit from this...

The disk arrives in a thin box which also contains a card with the serial/registration number. Nothing else. No documentation. The in-program documentation is poor and the support from Corel is all offshore and VERY POOR both in accessibility and content. The software works OK once you have figured it out by (extensive) trial and error. I still have an issue (naming/labelling DVD chapters) that I havent solved. NO help from support.

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!

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.

If you are unfortunate enough to get this product installed on your computer it is likely that you will regret it almost immediately. It is the Facebook of software, constantly popping up ads to try and get you to buy more things that you do not need. After the third time in less than an hour that a popup sale appeared I removed it completely from my computer. Roxio used to be a solid brand. That was more than ten years ago. Times have changed. Avoid this product like the plague unless you enjoyed being constantly prompted to buy things you do not need and probably do not even want.

I’m using this for creating family photo presentations with audio, video and much more. Photo editing, VHS transfer to DVD. Yow!!!

Beware Roxio NXT 8 and Paintshop have performance issues. Slow, freeze ups. I discovered after buying first Paintshop 2021 for windows 10, very slow freezing up at time, then saw in the software, C++ version 2012. What I believe Corel is doing is using basically the same software (e.g., Old Roxio media Creator suites, very old Paintshop) made 10+ years ago and just doing minimum patch work to barely get by so it will work on todays window 10 computers for quick sales. Thats why there are so many performance issues I had and so many others. It is misleading and dishonest. Corel needs to do a complete programming overhaul on these software with updated programing code versions. Instead of doing the minimum so not have to invest in rewriting the software so it is truly compatible with todays systems as they advertise. Software is not fully compatible, that is why there are problems. Its like the old trick of cleaning and painting the engine of an old used care so you dont see the oil leaks. Very disrespectful. Giving old crap and selling it as new. Sleezy!

I picked this up originally to use to convert and burn disks for my kids. I didnt realize that it was kind of a psudo video-editor suite that also can burn disks and convert videos. While this software is fully featured; its also kind of a mixed bag. I noticed that hardware transcoding support isnt available in some instances and lots of things rely on the CPU still. Parts of the software look similar to the old Roxio suite I had years ago (almost a decade at this point) so I guess that is both a good and a bad thing. In the end its hard to really say who this suite is for; since most people dont do too much burning anymore I think that most people will not spend money on a burning suite. However when it comes to like video editing and transcoding; there are better free tools on the market for each of those. This is just has an advantage of being a suite that you just install and it contains everything. However the lack of hardware acceleration on all products (especially not for all GPUs either) makes it harder to recommend again because with most people using laptops these days; you definitely need hardware acceleration for laptops. All in all its not a bad suite of software; I am just not sure who the target audience these days really is.
