> 24 hourI purchased this program for a mere [...] dollars, but it came with a twenty dollar store rebate (which I have not received yet) All told it should only cost me ten dollars. That is a good thing since that is all its worth. The good news for me: 1. It is simple to use and provides an easy way to burn and copy CDs 2. It does have a simple sound editor 3. It does provide an easy to use way to convert old LPs to digital files The bad news: The label portion of the program is almost totally useless! I have not found a way to import song titles. You cant change the font color. When you try to print out a CD jacket, it prints it way to big to fit in a CD case. Combine this with an awkward interface and its junk. NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS: ROXIO SUPPORT IS DREADFUL! NOT SURE ID WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON THE EXPENSIVE PROGRAM BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourBought this for my wife to burn non-copy protected DVDs. It was easy to use with just a couple of button clicks. Note that the instructions and help menus arent helpful. As another review noted, the instructions say to click on menu items that dont exist. The only problem that I ran into initially is after the burner reads the DVD, it will pop out the DVD, say it is done reading, and then hang. I had the main window open on my laptop and the main window would become unresponsive and wouldnt even minimize down. What was happening was a diaglog box opens after it is done reading the DVD and it would hide behind the main window where I couldnt get to it since I couldnt minimize the main window. You have to minimize the main window after starting the DVD read. This way the dialog box is in view after reading the DVD. The dialog box asks you to press the button after inserting the black DVD. After I figured this out, I didnt run into anymore issues and it copies DVDs just fine.

> 24 hourI havent used this progam a lot but from my experience so far it is not impressive in the least bit... I tried to create a dvd from home video and for some reason it will not burn it to dvd...The programs have a lot of whistles and bells but if you cant burn your project to dvd or cd it really doesnt do any good unless you just want to store it on your computer. Considering this software is for cd and dvd burning that is what one person would expect it to do.. No bang for your buck here it is a good thing that it didnt cost much!!!

> 24 hourTook a chance on this product, not many music programs left these days. The cd ripping and burner seemed to work ok, but everything else in the box had a 2 week warranty on it, meaning it was no good after 2 weeks as all the programs were trial issue. The only thing of value for the $32 I spent was the burner/copier. I would not recommend buying this facade, as it is just advertising to get you to buy more of whats inside. Scammed again.

> 24 hourAfter reading mixed reviews about Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, I decided to give it a shot based on past experience with Roxio products. Ive used Roxio products in the past to make flawless music CD creations and copies. Recently, I updated my CD-R drive with a DVD-R burner from a reputable company. The software that came with the burner wasnt exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to give Roxio a shot. I have had nothing but success making music CDs (both copying and making MP3 cd creations). When it comes to copying DVDs.. this is where the problems start. Although this software doesnt allow you to make copies of DVDs with copy-protection, there are ways to get around it with the appropriate software. Whenever I open the Disc Copy feature, and insert my DVD (from my personal collection to back-up), the program freezes, and basically renders my computer helpless. The Disc Copy program is still open, but it will not allow you to click on any of the buttons in the program. Windows Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) allows you to end the program, but my computer still doesnt cooperate. I cannot open 90% of my programs after this happens, and if you attempt to shut down windows (restart or turn off) it will just go back to your desktop window from its half-way attempt after your screen has transitioned from color to b&w. If you use DVD Shrink (free download) and save the movie to your hard drive, and then go to the Disc Copy feature and pull the film from your hard drive to back up, it doesnt freeze for some reason. (But I have yet to make it all the way to a 100% copied disc without getting a write error message... so far about 5 attempts equaling 5 more coasters to add to my desk). Let me note... I did go to Roxios home page to update the software, and my DVD-R firmware is the most recent to date. After all of this... still just frustration. Roxios tech support is a joke, and apparently you have to pay for phone support. Other reviewers had the exact same problem, so it isnt just a freak glitch. I should have listened to my gut and went another route, but decided to give Roxio a $30 donation. So in a nutshell, if youre planning on using this program to make copies of DVDs... SAVE YOUR MONEY.

> 24 hourI was locked on my screen and cudnt open. I ordered it because it was supposedly compat with Win10. When I was having my problem, I looked at the paper disc label and there was NO notation of Win10 on the label: covered all earlier version up to Win7. When I went back to support and questioned that, their response was .........well, perhaps it wasnt on the label, but it is Win10 compat. NOT!
