Easy CD & DVD Creator 6

Excelente programa, las funciones basicas similares a la version 5. Para creacion de DVD muy bueno y sencillo de manejar, menus animados y otras caracteristicas excelentes para personas que crean DVD personales.

I never had any problems with version 5, and havent had any with version 6 yet. Its a well-rounded and easy-to-use product, although I didnt install Photosuite as I already have the much more comprehensive Photoshop Elements 2.0 for that. The only really annoying aspect of this software is the fact that it forces you to register if you want to update the product. I usually register software anyway, but I do NOT like being forced to do so. Making it even worse, I had already registered with version 5, but there is no way to log in during the registration process. However, my logon ID from the prior registration is still active, and this registration would not let me re-register with that logon ID. In other words, it would force me to make up a second logon ID--how stupid are the programmers at Roxio? I decided to make up everything on the registration form, which worked fine and allowed me to download the product updates. Interestingly, the registration process does not allow you to have a logon ID with the characters roxi in it... Conclusion: I recommend this product, maybe even highly, although it may not be a necessary upgrade for many current users of version 5 Platinum. But I also highly recommend that you make up EVERYTHING on your registration process, even if like me you normally dont have a problem registering software.

Actually, I had initial success with Win2000 Pro, but their were serious subtle bugs. I tried to use CD and DVD rewritables, and I could get some success. However, I can only use 60% of the space on the CD. That was the first wierd thing. As I was archiving CDs, I have some problems. Some CDs could not be copied. I could later copy them with Nero 5 though, or using a Mac with Roxio Toast 5. On other CDs I get errors stating that the .iso could not be used for that format, such as hybrid CDs. However, on the Macs with Roxios Toast, I do not have these problems. Some CDs that I created using Easy CD Creator were invalid or corrupted. I created ISO images on my hard drive and created CDs. The installer would crash, or other software would would be corrupted or would not work correctly. I am really scared after reading these other reviews, so I think I may re-create these archives with another utility in Linux or Mac. I would seriously avoid this product and future products, as this software can mess up your data and archives. You dont want to gamble with this. I imagine there might be some legal action (class action) in the near future...

I swore off Roxio in version 4.0. Then I forgot why and forked out the bucks for Easy CD Creator 6. I installed v 6.0 yesterday and now I remember why: Its like making a deal with the devil. The program un-hid two hidden Dell partitions; it would not recognize my Sony DVD RW drive (510A); my Dell 4550 now crashes every few hours, even after I uninstalled Roxio and threw the thing away (surely my computer can sense that I threw it away!). The program obviously planted something in my registry or my Windows folder that cant be removed on un-install. Now Ill probably have to re-format my C: drive and re-install everything. So theres a day of my life sucked up because I fell for the Roxio juggernaut. Why, oh why do we keep falling for this idiocy?

This is great if you want to make vcds and copy cds and stuff like that, but if you want to make your own dvds you might want to search for something with a higher quality Mpeg encoder. I use this and Nero for dvd authoring, this is a good program because you can edit out commercials and trim video clips, you cant do that with Nero or at least I havent figured it out yet. My only real complaint is when I output to dvd the quality of the video looks more like vcd, a lot of pixelation occures when things move fast on screen. With Nero the pixelation is minimal but you need a pre edited file to work with. If anyone knows of a software that will give me the best of both programs share the knowledge.

Received Easy CD&DVD Creator6 Platinum for Christmas because I had really liked version 4. Have not been able to get a complete install on it to date, and the parts that did install didnt function right. Went to Roxios support site & found that many purchasers had same[and many other]problems. Some even had to restore their PC. Sent Emails to their tech support and received one answer so far. It took 11 DAYS for them to answer, and it was just a bunch of babble,nothing to do with the problem. I have uninstalled&deleted everything I can find related to it on my PC, and thrown the blasted thing away. I will NEVER buy another ROXIO product again.

I received the free version of Easy CD & DVD creator that came with my PC and it caused nothing but problems. After installing it and testing out the features I used the add remove programs to remove everything except the basic burning software. After rebooting I got an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. A google search using the error code showed that other users had the same problem with older versions of this software I am using version 6.1.1.7. Using the repair console and the online documentation I was able to fix the problem and get back into my system. Now when I reboot I get a DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE BSOD and the system runs check disk next time it boots. Again Roxio easy CD creator caused the problem. They have a patch for this but they seem to be keeping it a secret. ([...] My biggest complaint is that none of this information is on their tech support web site. I found it using google. Maybe they should have a [...] to let everyone know how bad this software is. They have one for Compaq ([...]

I put in an order for this (I had version 5 on a prior PC) so that Id have some decent DVD software on my new PC. I treated the negative reviews here with skepticism. But they appear to be bang on target. So far, it has completely prevented XP from restarting (giving me a message that Windows can no longer figure out whether I have a valid license or not -- trust me, I do; and then on another reinstall hungup half-way through copying files. For something as basic as disk copying you shouldnt have to deal with the kind of problems that bleeding-edge games or other exotic software present. Even with the current rebate Im out ... because I figured it couldnt be all bad. Forget it. Ill go back to the earlier version.

I havent used the program too much yet, but the one dvd backup I did make worked fine. My major qualm with the program is that upon installation, it seems to have partitioned my hard drive without asking me and for no apparent reason. I now have a FAT partitioned f: drive containing some system files. I could tell the installation had problems from the start because it kept flashing the same message and rebooting my computer several times. I have a 7 month old Dell machine running Windows XP.

Without a doubt one of the worst products Ive ever bought and one of the worst companies Ive ever dealt with! First, I created a playlist, burned it to CDR and everything seemed fine. However, when I opened that playlist the next day the songs were not in the order I had placed them in, some were missing, and there were two nameless tracks added (with no information in them). Second, when I tried to edit tracks using Sound Editor I got repeated failure messages saying Unable to Open the File for editing. It would not even PLAY most tracks and I got a message saying In Use Elsewhere. The Sound Editor also repeatedly froze up during editing sessions, which were then entirely lost! Hours of work wasted! In fact, the software locks up often regardless of what feature you are trying to use. I contacted their so-called technical support (Ha!) by phone and email, but still havent heard from them. I didnt pay for this. If I cant return it for a refund its going in the trash - where it will be right at home! P.S.: I would not even give this turkey one star, but Amazon does not offer the option of giving less than one star!
