Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Digital Media Suite

Summary: It only gets 1 star because there's nothing lower...
Review: Same gripes as everyone - once they've got your money forget any notion of customer support. There isn't any. The program forces you install AT LEAST 277MB of unnecessary, additional programs. For example, I had to install Roxio's 31MB Roxio Player, a DVD player utilility. This on a computer without a DVD drive. Ditto the Media Manager, Storyboard, etc., etc. All-in-all, this is a fat product with lousy performance, non-existent customer support and one for which there are a number of superior alternatives. Personally, I'm going to Nero and (like everyone else) will never buy a Roxio product again.

Summary: If it LOOKS like a DOG - and SMELLS like a DOG, then.....
Review: I have purchased this product elsewhere but have taken the precaution of reading the Amazon.com reviews prior to installation.
It seems to me that all genuine reviews provided here are mostly negative but the overall number of is bloated with positive reviews by people with some hidden agenda.
I will NOT now be installing this programme.
The only question left is
" Why does Amazon.com Stock the product?"
If it LOOKS like a DOG - and SMELLS like a DOG, then.....IT IS A DOG!

Summary: Great product
Review: Was very hesitant after reading the reviews but needed all that this program had to offer so I closed my eyes, prayed, and tried it out. Love this program!!! When I brought home this program, I uninstalled my trial version and I uninstalled a similar product I bought and hated so that there were no conflicts. I then ran the defragmenter in my system tools. After rebooting, I installed the software and I have been truly enjoying all the features ever since. I have burned DVDs from the DVD builder, with special text additions and transitions. I have burned audio CDs and I have transferred all my digital pictures to data cds. I have even burned a DVD transfer from my digital camcorder using the video capture and editing feature. The drag and drop feature tangled me up for a little while and I haven't concerned myself with finding out why yet. (I am sure my fault but it didn't do it again) I highly recommend this if your computer has a large enough hard drive to accomodate the full version of the program and the ability to retain all the information you will be using to burn with. Note: When uninstalling programs, you lose the program files, not the data files. All the movies (6) that I created with the trial version and the bummer software were still there after the uninstallation and reboot. (Dell Desktop 2350 Dimension, 40 GB hardrive, 512 RAM, Pentium 3)

Summary: roxio burner is do the job
Review: i just bought a laptop with dvdrw k12 drive. Nero was installed on my computer but it was suck, when i burn a disk it wont go with full speed because of some buffer overflow protection thing, and some of the disk was totally blank after burn. So i decide to try roxio, it was perfect, it burn with the speed that took only took 5-7 minute for my disk to ready to use. Plus it was so much easy to use.

Summary: Cannot register product
Review: My husband bought the boxed version of Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 and I've been sorry ever since. I'm the geek and he's not. He couldn't register the product because, on-line, you can only register Version 6 and earlier. We couldn't register directly because Dell had installed an earlier trial version that interferes with the installation. Repeated e-mails to Roxio have been auto-answered with notations that a customer service rep will call in a few days, and they never do.

Bottom line is that it's HARD to install for the average user, IMPOSSIBLE to register and update, customer support is TERRIBLE, and we'd strongly recommend that no one buy this product.

I know many users wax eloquent regarding the product features. My guess is that they never installed over an earlier trial version. Unless we want to wipe our system clean and re-install everything, Roxio isn't going to work correctly.

We'll find another product and write this as money wasted.

We should have read the other reviews.

Summary: Don't buy!
Review: I purchased this program mainly for the slideshow feature and then decided it would be nice to have all the other compenents as well. BAD DECISION! The program is slow (and I have a very new computer), it hangs up, it has a mind of its own when creating the timing for the picture and the transition, have to change the screen resolution in order for the program to work, and on and on. The worst part is that technical support is horrible - I would send an email and 14 days later get a response! And, if you want to call they charge! I'm moving on to something else and will not buy a Roxio product again.

Summary: Still no dual layer support for downloaded versions
Review: Roxio has an update available that provides support for dual layer DVD burning. However this update is available ONLY for retail boxed versions of Roxio 7, not the download versions such as what you buy from Roxio's own store. Moral of the story: Roxio does not have an emphasis on customer satisfaction, they are ignoring much of their user base, and if you must have this product then buy it from Amazon or a physical store where you get the retail version! Better yet, check out Nero Burning ROM.
