> 24 hourI purchased this program for a mere [...] dollars, but it came with a twenty dollar store rebate (which I have not received yet) All told it should only cost me ten dollars. That is a good thing since that is all its worth. The good news for me: 1. It is simple to use and provides an easy way to burn and copy CDs 2. It does have a simple sound editor 3. It does provide an easy to use way to convert old LPs to digital files The bad news: The label portion of the program is almost totally useless! I have not found a way to import song titles. You cant change the font color. When you try to print out a CD jacket, it prints it way to big to fit in a CD case. Combine this with an awkward interface and its junk. NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS: ROXIO SUPPORT IS DREADFUL! NOT SURE ID WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON THE EXPENSIVE PROGRAM BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES.

> 24 hourNo fault of the product, my computer did not have software for DVD. This product is for formatting computers that does.

> 24 hourThis software has crashed my system so many times, I actually bought a new computer thinking it was my system, and of course their tech support strongly suggested it was a system issue. And that supports costs me $25 dollars, per issue. Some issuse I think were related, such as my system crashing and their software failing writes, were charged seperately. Add the new computer and you have $1,075 wasted. And even when it did work, I would have 4 out of 10 writes fail on me. They kept pointing to the recorder. Well, after months of this BS, I did a fresh install from the recovery disk on my new computer and installed another software program. Nero 6.6, and since then I have not had a single system crash, 60 out of 60 succesful writes, and a program that is full feature and WORKS as they advertise. No more crap for me, and no more wasted calls to Support. Or should I say Lack-Of-Support!!

> 24 hourOne of the obnoxious features with this product is the Divx video software. When I first used it on an older XP system, it wouldnt do anything at all. I tried it on a newer 64 bit system running 2007, and saw similar issues. The Divx software informs the user it is a trial version, and soon a update windows begins constantly popping up. I have since deleted the Divx and related programs and use the ROXIO for simply creating DVD and CD copies. Doesnt seem worth the money - and the Divx stuff appears to be a GOTCHA!

> 24 hourIve been working with computers since the early 90s. I have many VHS, VHS-C, and Hi 8 tapes. Recently I began to convert these tapes to digital files. I first purchased a $25 video capture device with DVD software (a somewhat antiquated software system) on Amazon. I have the latest Windows 10 updates on my 250 GB SSD laptop. In brief, this device did not work. I returned it to Amazon. I next purchased a more expensive and different (and presumably a better) video capture device at Frys Electronics. This also had DVD software. In brief, it worked a short while, then malfunctioned. In fact, it caused my computer to crash not once but twice! This seldom happens with a good working Windows 10 OS. I knew that there was a serious software problem. Apparently, many of these companies fail to update their OLD software. I then decided to purchase Roxio Easy VCR to DVD Conversion on Amazon. Roxios software is downloaded online, which is better than DVD software. Roxio worked for a few days just fine, then it mysteriously failed to recognize the video signal on both my VCR and Camcorder. I have a good working Mitsubishi VCR and Minolta Camcorder. I uninstalled the Roxio software and reinstalled it, and then restarted my computer. Again it failed to recognize the video signal from both my VCR and Camcorder. I then concluded that the video capture device must have broken. In my opinion, the best way to convert analog tapes to digital files is to BYPASS THE COMPUTER. There are analog-to-digital devices on the market that circumvent the computer. I hope my review helps you avoid the pitfalls and myriad problems I have had with this lousy technology! PS: Roxio installed software that was extremely difficult to remove. I had to use Search Everything to remove all of Roxios software. Moreover, Roxio surreptitiously opened my microphone. What was that all about?

> 24 hourWont even detect an mp4 on your system. Cant burn MKV. Seems to only work with WMV and even then the quality sucks. Dont waste your money on this junk. If I could give a negative star rating it would be -4.

> 24 hourI used to be able to convert a song from a commercial CD to a WAV file in the computer with the older version. Newer versions only allow you rip to MP3. This is going backwards. Also I am not allowed to burn a DVD with WAV files. Not much use to me. Miguel Melgar

> 24 hourI like this program (Easy CD & DVD)! I have Windows XP and this program has the Roxio (Sonic) Express Labeler--which a is simple CD & DVD BURNING program. I do NOT like the NERO software (because of TOO MANY bells and whistles--stuff that right now I DONT NEED! Thank goodness I found the labeler I was used to I believe this used to be the Sonic Express Labeler--becase it does the same things the labeler someone else put on my computer(a HP Media Center Edition), used to do--only it had the Sonic name on it. Who needs bells and whistles of NERO? I dont! Roxio Easy CD & DVD is the one for me--and maybe you too--especially if youre frustrated with NERO and what you want is burning software without the frills of Nero. *Roxio Easy CD & DVD is it! * This program works with Lightscribe DVD/CD Writers. It is a basic easy program Who needs frills? When all you need is simple?

> 24 hourLoaded it on my laptop. It says that a compatible device was not found. Went to website, downloaded patch. It said I had the latest patch already. Everywhere you go on the roxio website, it tells you you can upgrade to version 8 for $20 off. It still is more than $50 and if Version 6 doesnt work, why would I throw more money at the problem? I could find no usefull information on the website and no way to speak to someone. I took it back to Best Buy. They said they could only exchange it for the same piece of junk. I went next door to Staples and they said if I bought software that does not work from them, they would refund my money if I bought it back within 14 days. So, I found a new source for software. Pros: It did not crash my laptop It did not cause the modem to dial international calls Cons: Doesnt work no tech support doesnt work no tech support
