Roxio Creator 2009 Reviews

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. 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. Once the initial application screen appears, the program appears to be as snappy as or snappier than its predecessor. With today's gargantuan disks, the space issue is not normally a major problem. I would like to see support for backing up to other devices either internal or removable (i.e., either internal or external disk drives). Overall, I found the package to be very easy to use and thorough in its functionality. This application only supports backing up to an optical device.

The one feature that I would like to see is in the Data Backup application. All functions worked flawlessly and the burn process seemed to be faster than many of other products that I have recently used (including Easy Media Creator 10). Roxio Creator 2009 is an update to the popular Roxio Easy Media Creator 10. Once a feature is selected (i.e., Burn Audio CDs), the application easily walks you through the steps necessary to accomplish the task. The only drawbacks that I saw during my testing were that it consumed 1.3 gigabytes of disk space and a significantly slower startup time than its predecessor.

This was an upgrade from an older version I had, love the program. Product arrive on time,and in good condition.

I still have yet to use all the progams provided but for the price this is a great buy.

"MyDVD" creates DVDs with optional menu. Photo sharing is provided by Roxio "OnLine". Video editing is inherently complex. Video online sharing is linked to [.]. I was very pleased with the resulting photo show, which I privately shared with multiple relatives. Creator uses 3 applications. "CineMagic" provides fast and simple movie creation.

It has finally fixed annoying software conflicts with my homebrew collection of new PC and old CD/DVD disk drives. I seamlessly used the on-line service to sort my photos, and apply special effects, and titles. I was disappointed that I was not able to increase the resolution of the movie file upload to take advantage of a new YouTube feature to display higher quality videos. Importantly, the software successfully juggled software process priorities so that keyboard, display, and mouse did NOT become sluggish. While rendering high definition files, I monitored the software performance () and was pleased that Creator 2009 was able to use nearly 100% capacity of my dual core processors. Roxio now captures, creates, and copies high definition video onto low cost DVD media, as well as Blu-Ray media. Creator 2009 met my expectations in creating both audio and video projects. The user interface has improved and simplified the links to a suite of numerous software applications.

(Roxio offers a premium $service, with a choice of 100s of songs). "VideoWave" allows advanced video editing. After creating a free login, I uploaded photo files, and then was offered a choice of 5 songs. I was lucky that one of the 5 songs was ideal to set the mood for my photo show. For my audio and video needs, Creator 2009 is a "must have" media suite.

I would highly recommend that anyone purchase this type software from anyone BUT Roxio. Their support is totally non-existant ($2.00 per minute over the telephone is the only way to talk to a "live person"). Now, they tell me that I should purchase the latest software (Creator 2009) and it will work.

Stay away from this company at all costs. I had problems with a previous version of the software (Easy Media Creator 8). I have not been able to install the software on my computer and get no support from Roxio.

When trying to work with them, they finally told me I had to upgrade to a current software. I finally paid over $100.00 to do that (Easy Media Creator 9).
