Roxio Creator 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > DVD Viewing and Authoring
from: Roxio

September 09, 2008
Roxio Creator 2009 is an update to the popular Roxio Easy Media Creator 10. The update provides a much smoother and visually appealing interface than its predecessor and now supports processing HD and Blu-ray DVDs through an additional cost add-in available from Roxio. Since I do not have a Blu-ray capable reader, I did not try this add-in. The four general functions available on the main screen (Data, Video, Music, and Photo), each bring up a sub-screen with the specific features (applications) which are available in that category. Once a feature is selected (i.e., Burn Audio CDs), the application easily walks you through the steps necessary to accomplish the task.

Overall, I found the package to be very easy to use and thorough ... Read More:

Let me break it down...

Apple iLife '08 Family Pack

Yeah, iMovie '06 provides features not found in iMovie '08 but Apple rethought the concept so there are benefits to both (and you can download iMovie '06 free anyways).

Like iWork, this is a great package for almost everyone. Professionals are going to go with the pro tools but where else can you get a family bundle for this price? iPhoto alone will make the purchase worth it for most people who use a digital camera (and, who doesn't?). I've never even used iWeb and I consider this a deal.

Nero 8 Ultra Edition [OLD VERSION]

I bought it to make disc images. It does what it says it does and then some. Lots of other applications that are fun to play with. One let me set up a multimedia server that could be seen by my PS3.

Some is a bit technical and there are a lot of options so I would not recommend this for a novice user.

Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning

Despite the claim on the box that this software works with Windows Vista, it does not - Vista blocks it because it is incompatible and would create problems. And, because it is software, Roxio will not refund the purchse price despite their false claim. Do not buy this product if you have Vista.

Corel DVD Copy 6 Plus

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > DVD Viewing and Authoring
from: Corel

I looked at this software to Rip my own dvds onto my iphone for my own personal use. Luckily I found a trial version of this software from corel's website, but what I found out is it will not do anything with copyrighted dvds.

The software does look fairly decent. It's fairly simple. Doesn't have editors or slide show creators or advance like that. $50 for this i'd say is $30 too much.

I had no problems installing. I don't have any corel software on my pc already.
