User Reviews for Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 Suite

  • Reviewed by: BasherY

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Too many programs to list but it will manage most media and any backup method like disks, external drives

    Weaknesses: More of a novice program as it is made to be user friendly, but skips some details in burning

    Overall Evaluation: I got used to specifying burning details with my old program which I can't even remember the name. Roxio skips many steps and only requires a few user input clicks for most disks. Anyone can burn a disk with this but to learn to do it better I recommend trying other methods here. The virtual image has become invaluable as it seems more reliable. Making copies is much faster with this method too as it doesn't have to keep reading the original disk. Along with a great disk burning program you get too many to mention here. The main ones make media projects and convert files for use on devices. I don't see any major device that is missing from roxios support. If you need an overall media suite this is one to check.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Realizes that digital media is no longer confined to the pc but also to devices and the internet -- tools handle this part of digital media

    Weaknesses: Can't copy encrypted disks due to copyright

    Overall Evaluation: It's a fact-- digital media is on portable devices and the internet. Roxio seems to realize this and has made a big leap to accomodate these changes. Devices have specific formats which only work on one device. The cost of such special programs are worth the roxio suite alone. I didn't think a program for most cellphones existed until I bought this. It resizes photos and videos for the phone. Of course it also compresses to save space. I think I'll hold off on getting another device since I can use the phone as my portable player.
