ROXIO EASY CD & DVD

I only have one CD/DVD drive in my computer and it makes copying a bit more difficult, but the program works fine. I bought Roxio as I had it in my old computer and was familiar with it. Delivery was very swift and product all that I expected.

I purchased this after I had no luck with 123 Copy DVD (do not purchase that at all, BUYER BEWARE!). I had Roxio in the past and it is a great and fun software for making cds. I never used this software to make DVDs until now. It will not copy DVDs with encryption on it, but that isnt a problem once you download Anydvd, which is an ecryption remover. It works great now and I recommend it very much.

One 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!

Stopped working after a few uses. Refuses to launch. Asking for a refund.

I bought this software cheap ($10) after an instant rebate and mail-in rebate (that should have been a tip off) from a major big-box office retailer. I am running XP Service Pack 3 on a custom built computer with plenty of ability to run such a package. Right now I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 installed and it works fine copying, burning and making libraries and projects with CDs and DVDs. I have been happy with this version. However, because its 6 years old, I decided to try a newer Roxio product because I plan to upgrade to Win 7 and thought a newer package would be compatible with the new Windows. My purchase was a big mistake. I am a fairly experienced computer user 20+ years, so I should have known better. Basically, as in most things, you get what you pay for, so the low price should have been a warning. It turns out that this is 3-year old software (2007) and its slow. Yes, I got it to install OK and it removed my Roxio 7 and it was able to use it to copy a CD. However, it has a clunky interface and, in my opinion, is worse than the older product it sort of replaced. Fortunately, I have Rollback 8.0 on my machine (a great 5-star program by the way - its saved me numerous times) and was able to go back to a previous time and got rid of this Roxio product. Now it goes in the trash. After reading reviews of the latest Roxio products, I am going to stay away from all of them.

This Roxio software has caused me the most bizarre and frustrating experience ever. First, it doesnt work. Second, I cannot obtain any support from Roxio to find out why. They wont give support until you register, the only way to register is to follow a web link that comes with the software, and it takes you to a website that either doesnt exist, or is always down. Thus, it turns out to be a complete waste of money, not to mention several hours of time. RUN, dont WALK away from this software and this company.

Installing this program on a computer running Windows XP a HUGE problem. After installing Window gives the message that the software will cause Windows to become unstable, and that Windows prevented the drivers from loading. Then sends you to Roxio website for patch. The patch did not work, and their support service provides a resolution that involves editing your computers Registry, a task I do not want to attempt. By the way, the only way you can speak to a live person is to pay $35 per hour, more than I paid for the program itself. Totally frustrating software for XP.

Seriously, reading these reviews is making me wonder about which version of this product everyone is using. I am using version 10 and it does work in Windows 7 as well as XP without a problem. I purchased this product as a physical DVD copy at Wal Mart a couple of years ago. I have an Optiarc DVD RW and also an Hp DVD writer that I use when using this product. It also has a decent photo editor and also audio and video capture. Some of the items, which are many, in this product are not self explanatory, for example the movie maker. Any information you need is either under the Help tab or various places around the internet.

wish i read these before purchasing. It clearly is not a product the company is supporting. do not recommend. My free, five year old Nero program is much better!!!!

After reading mixed reviews about Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, I decided to give it a shot based on past experience with Roxio products. Ive used Roxio products in the past to make flawless music CD creations and copies. Recently, I updated my CD-R drive with a DVD-R burner from a reputable company. The software that came with the burner wasnt exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to give Roxio a shot. I have had nothing but success making music CDs (both copying and making MP3 cd creations). When it comes to copying DVDs.. this is where the problems start. Although this software doesnt allow you to make copies of DVDs with copy-protection, there are ways to get around it with the appropriate software. Whenever I open the Disc Copy feature, and insert my DVD (from my personal collection to back-up), the program freezes, and basically renders my computer helpless. The Disc Copy program is still open, but it will not allow you to click on any of the buttons in the program. Windows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) allows you to end the program, but my computer still doesnt cooperate. I cannot open 90% of my programs after this happens, and if you attempt to shut down windows (restart or turn off) it will just go back to your desktop window from its half-way attempt after your screen has transitioned from color to b&w. If you use DVD Shrink (free download) and save the movie to your hard drive, and then go to the Disc Copy feature and pull the film from your hard drive to back up, it doesnt freeze for some reason. (But I have yet to make it all the way to a 100% copied disc without getting a write error message... so far about 5 attempts equaling 5 more coasters to add to my desk). Let me note... I did go to Roxios home page to update the software, and my DVD-R firmware is the most recent to date. After all of this... still just frustration. Roxios tech support is a joke, and apparently you have to pay for phone support. Other reviewers had the exact same problem, so it isnt just a freak glitch. I should have listened to my gut and went another route, but decided to give Roxio a $30 donation. So in a nutshell, if youre planning on using this program to make copies of DVDs... SAVE YOUR MONEY.
