 It will do what it says, but with unpredictable results July 9, 2008

I have purchased Easy Media Creator 8, 9 and now 10. I have been disappointed with them all but have always given Roxio a second chance with each new release.
I recorded a TV musical in MPEG2 format.
I used Roxio's MyDVD to make the DVD's. So far these are the problems you can expect to see when using this program:
All the video is un-synced to the audio by half a second. It did not matter whether I used MPEG2 video or WMV video files.
What you see on the screen is not what you get. Even though I meticulously manually made every chapter marker, the program decided to place them all one second ahead where I chose, creating unintended effects and losing the impact intended.
The video quality varies and looks acceptable in some sections and looks unacceptable in others.
Yesterday my first DVD attempt, for this project, produced a DVD that did not start at the beginning the the movie, even though I tested the playback of the DVD on the DVD Menu tester. It was supposed to start at the beginning as designed. Instead it started five minutes into the DVD, which was not even a chapter marker location. In fact, with that DVD I did yesterday I had not set up any chapter markers.
Conclusion: Roxio MyDVD is a program to be avoided. It is unreliable and therefore unusable. If one program is unreliable in the suite, how can anyone trust the rest of the software? I have uninstalled the suite for good.
 Accessible, strong solution for video conversion July 9, 2008

At first glance I thought this was a specific video converting solution. It does do that and well but it has a lot of other digital media projects. On an old Intel Celeron, 512 RAM the tape to pc was so-so. The video converted but the speed varied. I had long enough av inputs to stretch the converter to my more powerful desktop. The tapes converted perfectly. The frame rate remained the same even on SVHS tapes.
This program is perfect for archiving too. I put the raw footage on dual layer disks. I also used maximum comrpession to fit as much as I could. With the backups done I started the editing process. Home movies took time since there is a lot of junk footage. It took me awhile to figure out VideoWave but it is an accurate way to edit. I tried cinemagic and although it worked fast, I'm particular about the cuts. It worked fast and most of the auto-made chapters were on the money. Once though I figured out VideoWave it was faster to make the edits but at least there is a choice.
The given specs are fairly accurate about the rest of the features. The audio/photo projects are elaborate enough to get rid of standalone programs. If you are aching to rid yourself of tape players and tapes this is a good way to obtain that goal.

This is a product deserves a class action suite. Lousy install followed by bugs and crashes then not starting. Downloaded the 719 MB 'update' and exactly the same problems - after spending over an hour cleaning the old one off the system. I think I am a pretty advanced computer user, network adminsitrator etc. Support is just as bad - you spend $1.80/min to hear silly time-consuming things you can do that will not solve anything.
Never again Roxio products, no way.
Much better than average programs June 24, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I can't say enough of how easy this program is. I learned a lot about photo editing from using verison 9. It gave me the confidence to try more. I bought an hd camcorder and the deluxe version for the tape converter. I don't need the converter for the camcorder but I figured I could now deal with the backlog of tapes. Anyway it only takes hooking up the camcorder to my pc and version 10 does a lot of steps. I've stuck with Cinemagic so It will make smaller clips automatically. It makes it easy to delete what I don't want and sort the clips. It makes HD dvds so I can keep the high quality visuals. My old tapes are s-video and the converter has this connection. It's not hd but it's better than regular vhs video. The video snapshot tool takes photos from the video clips. I can enhance them and not only use them for photo projects but they can be inserted into dvd menus. I did notice that the there are more menu, album, and slideshow templates in 10 than in 9. I'll be changing my phone soon so I will get a video player one since 10 can transfer video onto it. There are many other programs but I use it mostly for photos and videos and like the programs.
Can control digital media from any angle June 16, 2008

Roxio's suite has helped me salvage old media and just for that I give it the highest rating. I don't think that old media could be saved very easily when new formats came along. Remember beta and 8mm tapes, laser disc movies? Many people don't know and don't care but for those of us who invested in the systems and music/movies it is a loss unless we could transfer them. The best thing about digital media is the storage hardware may change but software converting is not that difficult, at least when I use this program. My only complaint is that the install can get messed up if you don't remove any old roxio media programs. I couldn't rely on the windows uninstall and had to check to make sure that an old burner version was removed before it worked. After that small problem I am pleased with the performance.
Using the video converter in the package, the Deluxe version, same software I salvaged my beta and 8mm tapes. Good thing I didn't dump them. The video appears on the computer as it is being converted. I would have been content with stopping there but then I found that the video programs are easy enough to make edits. I can clean up and cut the videos exactly the way I want. I've also been able to save the videos in different formats. Since video is large I prefer to compress them. The program is user friendly and chose the video format when I backed them on disks. It tracks the disk contents too even when they are not in the drive. Since I'm not up to date on the latest terminology overall this is a good program for people like me. The steps were easy to follow.
