 Organizer, Editor, converter, Backup July 16, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Talk about doing it all. The more I use it the more I find something to use. Organizing, I'm ok but tend to put everything in myphotos, myvideos, and so on. Of course the folders are full and it's hard ot find everything. I've made a lot of projects and have made subject folders. I can still see everthing with the media manager and by setting it on media type. It also monitors new media and adds it to the manager.
For editing the programs are adequate, maybe a bit more. The photo editor has the essentials plus panaroma. It melds several photos together which is something I tend to do for landscapes and large objects like statues.
Photsuite is not a professional level program but a quick editor. If you can use very advanced programs more power to you, but this is the right level for me. I've been able to make slideshows and albums. I tried one standalone generic album program but it didn't work well and saved in a weird format. It's easy to make the shows workable on pcs, macs and even the internet. I haven't done much in video editing but I do use roxio for video viewing. It replaced several small format specific players. I don't edit music files much but I do like the music creator program. I just select music type and a few other options and presto, custom music. Again, it's not a pro level program but an easy quick way to make simple tunes. I think the average user can pick this up and start using it immediately. It doesn't seem made for complex music making nor photo alteration. It does fix and convert media files easily.
 Give me an alternative - PLEASE! July 14, 2008

Version 9.? (can't tell you right now it is frozen up)
I am using the nine version (well, I have installed it for the third time now, getting some use out of it is,...another story) and really want to find something that works. I need something that will produce a combo of slide show and video to DVD and allows the creation of menus. Oh yeah, and something that doesn't throw my system into Apocalypse mode. That would be nice. Please, I realise the people who come here have mostly been had by Roxio already (as have I) but some of you will have suggestions as to a stable alternative. After reading these reviews for 10 I can easily guess that "upgrading" would be sheer folly on my part only comparable to my installing this version 9? yet one more time.
Also looking for recommendations on how to eliminate this from my system so I can stop hard rebooting as I have to since I installed. Plus it would be nice to get my Office Suite to run again. Help!
I'm very sure that I will never knowingly buy another Roxio product after the circus that has taken place on my desktop...
Now for the next hard reboot...
 So Far No Problems July 14, 2008

I was hesitant to buy this software after reading the mixed reviews but I bought it anyway because I needed the software to burn programs to DVD that I had streamed to my computer from my TiVo. I followed all the advise of doing the installation on a fresh restart and turning off all other programs, especially the Norton virus protection and firewall. The install did take some time but went off without any problems. As stated in other reviews this program is definitely a resource hog and it does take some time to load the various components of the software but so far everything has worked well. One other reviewer mentioned a program that runs in the background and while he didn't say what that program was (go figure!) he said when turned off it helped performance. I think it is the Media Manager program that continually scans all your folders for new content. I turned that off as well but am not really sure if it made the program load faster. CD ripping is a breeze with lots of options and the basic DVD burning so far works well although it takes a long time to encode and then burn video material. I did have some initial trouble burning the .Tivo files to DVD but I finally got it to work and the burned DVD's play in my stand alone DVD player. I really think that all the negative comments about this program are individual computer system related problems. I mean think of all the variables that would cause problems. Luckily I have not yet experienced any of the catstrophic problems that some other users have had. The manual is very basic and just touches the surface of what each component of this program can do. Each component of the program has its own HELP information in the menu with more detailed information. This program definitely has something for everybody from the novice to the advanced user. Hopefully you will have good luck with it too.
Easy to Install and Use July 12, 2008

Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 has a number of interesting functions. You can use the auto mix to automatically generate a collection of songs based on just one song you select. You can burn audio CDs and convert LPs and tapes into CDs. You can also use it to capture any audio playing on your computer such as from Internet radio programs, streaming music, and soundtracks from videos. You can create your own movies complete with music and edit the movies by selecting scenes you want to include or exclude in the movie. Once the movie is made you can save it onto a DVD. You can also back up your music, photos, videos, and other files using Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10.
I find Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 to be very easy to use. It was easy to install, although installation took a while and once it was done I also had to install QuickTime which also took awhile to install. Once it was installed everything was pretty self-explanatory, but if you run into any problems there is a helpful tutorial as well as a web page with useful how to articles. Each section also has a guide describing the various applications. The music portion of the program has dozens of useful functions including the ability to catalog your music and if you are in the mood to purge your CD collection, you can burn certain songs and create CDs with just the songs you want. My favorite part of the program is the movie section. It's very easy to upload and edit movies you've made, complete with music and text effects. I found selecting scenes to keep and delete to be extremely easy. It's also easy to upload them to YouTube if you want to.
Roxio Media Creator Suite 10 is easy and lots of fun to use.
Constant results July 12, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
There's so much I like to use. I don't worry about disk creation now. Many formats are included, some which I don't know if I'll ever use, but who knows. Most of the disks came out perfectly although physical disk problems can't be all fixed. The utilities to check the disk worked and sometimes there are bad sectors which it can repair. Sometimes I have to use scratch repair though and the results aren't always reliable. The program process is straight forward and disk burner can be loaded into memory. This also helps me remember to back up before I shut down.
Organizing the songs are easy as the program will download album art if available, sort by title, year, music genre, artist, or whatever. I can make playlists based on this data too. A side audio capture program will create audio files from nearly anything. Even files that you can only stream and not download. I captured a tv show theme and integrated it into a custom photo slide show. It works with streaming music too. I'm surprised that such a mainstream program can get away with that.
