Roxio Easy Media Creator 8.0 review:5 stars (Excellent Features) - This software hasn an astonishing array of features. In this version they have achieved the seemingly contradictory goal of making things both easier to use & richer in terms of features. For ex. slide show creation can't be easier via the wizard but at the end of the wizard if you want to tweak the slide show more, you can click a button to export it to another applicaiton to edit to your heart's content. They do this disc labels, DVDs, music discks photo projects and probably other areas. I've seen nothing like it elsewhere.5 stars (Unbelievable customer service) - Roxio EMC 8 was the stem of all my issues with the drive read errors and system hanging during shutdown. Don't get me wrong, I love the product if it would work. It blows Nero 7 away, but I cannot live with those 2 issues. Imageburn (3rd party product) and EAC won't work after installation and my systems locks during shutdown where I have to hard power off to reset. Even Windows Explorer locked up simply trying to view the contents of my DVD drive. Uninstalling the EMC 8 solved all issues I was having. It has been a frustrating 24 hours as I thought my system committed suicide and I rebuilt the Windows XP installation with a clean format. Same issues after on a clean system after EMC 8 install. I almost bought a new computer thinking it was the machine.
However, I posted a message on their forums and one of their tech support dev guys called me out of the blue. The issue ended up being related to my PC-Cillin AV and he was able to get things working after in depth troubleshooting. Wow, wish all companies had support like Roxio!!! I never asked for this kind of help and they took it to the max. I highly recommend their products.
