Roxio Creator NXT Pro 8 | Complete CD/DVD Burning and Creativity Suite [PC Disc] [Old Version]

The software does appear that it will do what it is designed to do, make DVDs. I had hoped with the rip feature that I would be able to convert my DVDs in to a digital format for safe keeping on my NAS. Sadly it does not work for that. You can not copy or archive any commercial disk, sound, music or data. It will also block you if a video disk is protected in any way. I tried to make an updated memories DVD based off of one I had made nearly 20 years ago using Windows Movie Maker but because I apparently protected my original disk I cant do anything with it using this software. After loading the software you will instantly regret it. This forces advertisements constantly just like the old shareware did. The major difference between this and shareware is that you are now paying to have things you dont want advertised to you instead of getting it free. User interface is clean and simple to use/understand and if it wasnt for all the built in blocks and restrictions this could be very powerful software. Unfortunately the days of all computers having any kind of optical drive is gone and so are the days of DVDs. I cannot recommend this to anyone. With a little extra work there are plenty of free programs that will do the same thing and better than Roxio without the constant processor and memory sucking popup ads.

Roxio Creator NXT Pro 8 performs well when it works, but post-purchase technical support is non-existent. After waiting almost a week for a response from the Roxio (Corel) technical support team to address my support request, I had to come up with my own solution which I will pass along as a public service. If the software is installed onto a laptop and abruptly crashes (shuts back down) after attempting to open up the program, try turning off the Wi-Fi connection to use the program. This was the answer for my HP ZBook 17 G6 Mobile Workstation. To run the program, turn off the Wi-Fi to open up, and then turn the Wi-Fi back on once Roxio is loaded. To install program updates, turn off Wi-Fi, open up Roxio, turn Wi-Fi back on, download and install updates. Pretty bad when a company will not support its own products. Hope others will benefit from this...

I have been using Roxio software products for well over 10 years and have been happy with their various products for the most part. This particular bundle is a slam dunk when it comes to value and includes some of their most popular and useful titles such as PaintShop Pro, which I have been using for probably 20 years now. In addition to PSP the bundle includes a number of ripping and burning tools that can be used for converting various file types and allowing you to burn them to CD/DVD. Keep in mind, while the product allows you to rip commercial CDs it does NOT allow you to make copies of commercial DVDs or Blu-Ray disks. In order to make copies of those you will need to bypass their copyright protection scheme which you will have to do with a different product. You CAN convert decrypted commercial DVDs and non-copyrighted titles and burn them using this product. All of the titles included with this bundle are very mature and stable. Support from Roxio is excellent and you can find a number of videos on YouTube on how to use many titles, especially PaintShop Pro, which has the best support of any of these titles. You will obviously need a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray burner in order to burn audio/video/data to disk. I have used most versions of PaintShop Pro and cant say as there is a lot of difference between the 2020 and 2021 version. Same goes for the rest of the titles. So, if you have the 2020 versions of these titles there are not a lot of reasons to upgrade. However, if you are missing any titles or have much older versions of these titles it is well worth the price this sells for,

Would not download onto my computer

If you are unfortunate enough to get this product installed on your computer it is likely that you will regret it almost immediately. It is the Facebook of software, constantly popping up ads to try and get you to buy more things that you do not need. After the third time in less than an hour that a popup sale appeared I removed it completely from my computer. Roxio used to be a solid brand. That was more than ten years ago. Times have changed. Avoid this product like the plague unless you enjoyed being constantly prompted to buy things you do not need and probably do not even want.

I have been around computers for a lengthy time and have been using different programs to save and create my programs that I have from photos and other things which I like to have. This program is up to date and brings forth all the necessary tools to present those things which you want to save, share, and display on your websites. Easy to use, great instructions, and just the right thing which does not take up too much space in your computer. I highly recommend this program since it is current, uses your imagination, and allows you to learn new techniques!

disappointed in slide show app

My husband installed this program on his computer because he needs to digitize a lot of VHS tapes of family memories and footage of his model railroad. Hes used other programs in the past, but the results too often wouldnt play on most DVD players. He reports that this program is SO easy to use he couldnt believe it. The DVDs he has created using it work perfectly on all of our players. Hes thrilled. The only thing he wasnt thrilled about was the length of the installation process. He finally just let it do its thing overnight, and that worked fine.

Im using this just to make DVDs and CDs Downloading music is fine, but sometimes you want a CD. We record things we are performing so I wanted a CD burner. This is a lot more, Highlight reel feature, audio editing, Has a new interface that has been redesigned. Included PainShop Pro 2020 and PhotoMirage. Fancy encryption tools as well. As usual, Corel offers less expensive software, with a lot of extras, so if you can get used to a new interface, despite having standardized on other software, you might find a lot of value in this package.

Installation: As long as youre system is within required specifications, installation is very simple and straightforward. On the unit I installed this on, I was fully up and running within 15 minutes, including updates. Layout: While this software is highly customizable and feature rich, its very straightforward to use. My girlfriend, whos a beginner to burning, picked up the ins and out of what can and cant be done, within days. Given the capabilities of this software and hers/my experience with it, I consider this appropriate for beginners to advance users. Customizability: This software is capable of doing just about anything you can dream up. Its incredibly customizable, down to the smallest detail. Titles, overlays, music; you name it, this software can do it. Long-term viability: In many ways, this is niche software. So, in my opinion, if youre looking at this product, this is something youre going to use for a while. Given that, I doubt youll need more than what this software can do for at least 2-3 years. Overall: If you want the ability to create and burn with a high amount of customization, this is your software. There is nothing on the market in this particular segment that does more than this software does. Really, the only negative I can think of with this software is youre going to get occasional product advertisements. Outside of that, this is very good software for burning. Recommended 4 stars Cheers!
