ROXIO EASY CD & DVD

Item arrived ahead of schedule and was very good quality. Shipper did an outstanding job and I would recommend both and will deal with the shipper more in the future.

Corel has done to Roxio CD burning programs exactly what it did to Jasc Paint Shop Pro, which is to say ruined the whole shebang. Just as I went back to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 after having tried Corels horrible Paint Shop Pro X, Im going back to Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum, which does work with Windows XP and reliably turns out a quality CD. This new waste of time and money is NOT backward compatible -- you cant even read open CDs created in REAL Roxio programs. The system requirements for authoring DVDs are much higher than those listed for merely installing the program. (Ill go back to Nero Essentials for DVDs.) I would not have purchased the program at all had I known that in advance. Although Corel claims it works under Windows XP, it is slow to install, balky in use, and not particularly capable when it does work. Roxio easy CD & DVD burning is a huge disappointment, and in my opinion, not worth the money.

Every Roxio product Ive [tried] to use demonstrates that the big brains that develop such software [Im being kind], dont actually use it. If the product doesnt fall flat on the claims, destablize your system or freeze at random, it simply wont load/open after a given time, (always after the return period has expired). Roxio spends more time putting together a long list of fancy claims boxed in a fancy package than they do on actual product development, and it turns out to be junk -- not fancy at all. And customer service from Roxio? Customer service and Roxio should never be used in the same sentence -- thats enough to actually crack me up. I am genuinely perplexed as to how this money-grabbing operation referred to as Roxio stays in business, except on the repeated ignorance of the buying public.

I got this product to create dvds from video_ts files.i am directed to click on a non-existant menu option to do this task. When i contacted the job of customer service i was sent a list of links to go weeding through to fix my problem. All i had asked for was the correct location of said menu item. gheesh!!! I attempted to copy unprotected dvds as well but always got a error message, so i wouldnt say any of it works for sure,, ,maybe you can create dvds or maybe you cant.

I had the old version of this a few years ago. It worked GREAT! I dont do any editing, just strickly copying dvds. The dvd burner in laptop I was using stopped working, the Roxio easy CD and DVD stopped working as well. I replaced the dvd burner just recently, and the new one is working just fine. Then I did a factory restore on the laptop, assuming I could reinstall the old Roxio easy CD and DVD. It would not let me install it! When I went to input teh product KEY code (I guess its their Proof of Purchase), it wouldnt recognize it and I could not proceed! I then figured it might be time for a NEW Roxio, and I bought the COMPLETE ROXIO CREATOR with VHS Transfer kit. I should have looked at the system requirements when I bought it, because I didnt have enough hard drive space to install it!! I did without dvd copying for a while, and a few weeks ago bought another copy of Roxio Easy CD and DVD. I installed it fine, put in the product key code fine, and it is working as well as could be expected. It does what it is supposed to. I now use this old laptop JUST to copy dvds. Last week I treated myself by buying a REALLY NICE laptop (Qosmio 3D!!). I will shortly install the COMPLETE ROXIO CREATOR on this. 500 GB should be enough space.

I bought this software at a local store to burn some disks for a friends birthday gift. In the end the cds never worked, wasted dvds and time, the box is now in a heap of useless computer junk from years past. Dont let the price fool you or better yet let it be a warning. Piece of crap.

I bought this software to copy my mini DVDS. After installing I got error message after error message.....it kept needing to update the directory. The software did start working at this point. It copies the DVDs just fine but I cannot burn a new DVD. I have the same problem as a few people have already mentioned before. It does not recognize my DVD burner...NEC. I attemtped to contact their support and also learned its not supported (although I just bought it). I called NEC and my DVD burner is working and the driver is up to date so the problem is the software. I would stay clear.

I am so angry. I bought this product and have been using it for a few months and its been working fine on my Windows 8.1 laptop. All of the sudden, I started to burn a DVD from a video that I took from my camcorder (I made it into a wmv file from Movie Maker first) and its giving me a message that the AC 3 is not an acceptable form of audio and therefore the dvd movie would be silent. WHAT? Ive been using it all along and all of the sudden this happens? No support is available so I guess Im out $30. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

my CD music maker. I had Roxio for a long time and it never failed me. When I wish to make a CD its simple. I just wish it could put more MP3 songs on the CD without buying all new Blue Ray and Book equipment. Good buy.

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.
