Did exactly what I wanted it to!by agfrag - December 29, 2006

Pros: It burned VCD playable on all my DVD players

Cons: None for me!

What a mess!!!by prov2001 - July 7, 2006

Pros: Haven't yet found any; I'm too busy trying to fix the problems caused by this installation.

Cons: Destabilized my operating system

Now Even Roxio's Tech Support Phone # Doesn't Workby bobby1500 - December 22, 2005

Pros: OK when it works

Cons: Can't contact by computer or phone

Totally and completely useless.by TuckMN - July 19, 2005

Pros: It was free.

Cons: Too many to enumerate.

Tec help is the very worst i've dealt withby captainyahoo - March 15, 2005

Pros: it was cheap..now I know why

Cons: Tech support and file types it won't burn

"easy" compared to what? Giving birth?by - February 8, 2005

Pros: The labeling portion works somewhat well, but then avery includes that for free when you buy their labels.

Cons: This product is about as unreliable as they come. I was burning some CD's and then finally after having burned 23 CD's I put the 24th one in and it tells me "no supported drives can be found on your system" when I made no changes. However my other CD burn

Uninstalled itby - January 12, 2005

Pros: Roxio 5.1 Lite Came with the TDK AID+880N DVD +-R/RW drive. Thought since it was TDK it would have a good name. Upgraded itself to 6.0 at some stage.

Cons: It had problems with a corrupt registry (code 19). I bought BHCA.com B's Gold Basic 7 for $19 and it worked perfectly. I left Roxio installed on my system. 3 months later I uninstalled a couple of other utilies, & all of sudden Roxio starts invoking

Mostly worksby - January 3, 2005

Pros: Lots of features

Cons: data DVD's are not always readable.Roxio classic will make data DVD's that I can't read on a machine that does not have Roxio, but the drag to disk will work OK.

Software Tar Babyby - September 4, 2004

Pros: The support web site is nearly impenatrible. If your questioned isn't listed, you are dead.

Cons: Try to uninstall this product and you are doomed to MONTHs of a related window blocking execution of other applications.

DVD builder crashes XPby - July 1, 2004

Pros: Has great features but they don't work. Has all the things I would like for building simple DV

Cons: Can make a few edits before the entire program freezes. If you get 10 minutes of editing your doing good. Story Board editor is my greatest foe.. Would be great if there was a project save in this module

THIS IS TRASH - ABSOLUTE TRASH!by - June 23, 2004

Pros: Intuitive interface.

Cons: Product does not work and apparently ROXIO does not care. ROXIO DOES NOT LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PROBLEMS! Their tech support is the WORST I have ever encountered. ROXIO comes with new DELL systems which is what I have (Dimension 8250 loaded)-

This Product is horrible!by - June 8, 2004

Pros: Nothing Good To Say About It

Cons: It has screwed up my computer and cannot be deleted. When I attempt to delete the program it reinstalls itself and freezes the computer. I have to reformat my hard drive to get rid of the dang thing.

Piece of Garbage Crashed XPby - June 4, 2004

Pros: Windows XP Pro machine with Computer Associates firewall and antivirus...ran flawlessly until I installed Roxio's Easy CD 6. Installation routine causes antivirus and firewall icons in system tray to disappear, crashed Quicken (all files lost), and "eras

Cons: Destructive installation, persistent and unwanted tray icons even though they were unchecked during custom install.

roxio 6.0 does a good job but is slow and has a tendecy to crash.by - May 17, 2004

Pros: it is easy to use, and you can burn your mp3 files.

Cons: when burning mp3 files you cannot switch the order in which the files are saved on your computer. this becomes extrmely annoying when files are saved in a wrong order.

What a piece of S___T!!!!by - March 3, 2004

Pros: Relatively easy to figure out

Cons: Makes great DVD coasters. I've tried to make some DVDs by combining raw digital footage from my DV camcorder and a mixture of pics from my digital camera. This program is suppose to allow you to add your own music. Well after 5 hours of encoding time.....

The worst you can getby - March 1, 2004

Pros: Ya right! Try and find one?

Cons: The software is good if it worked. I will never buy another Roxio software again. I have never been able to get the software to work. I have formated my hard drive and still had the same problem. I would only get about 10 min in and it would crash. I

Improving, but still not ready for prime time!by - February 7, 2004

Pros: Drag-to-disc

Cons: DVD sound quality still poor. No support because it was bundled with my DVD-RW drive.

drag to disk is unusableby - January 21, 2004

Pros: I liked the older version better, but this one is just as easy to use.

Cons: Drag to Disk creates disks that aren't readable on a different computer unless that computer has Roxio on it. XP doesn't recognize that there is anything on disk if Drag to Disk was used. Whats up with that?

Buggy productby - January 12, 2004

Pros: Simple menu, intuitive.

Cons: Very few platform problems until I loaded this. I've installed all the upgrades, and keep running into a problem with repetitive failure when trying to burn CDs-the drive won't recognize blank media. After many times uninstalling and reinstalling, was a

Won't work don't waste $$!by - January 5, 2004

Pros: Nice box.

Cons: I've tried everything. I'm a MIS magager and Automation Control system programmer. I figured that if anyone could get it to run I could. I was wrong. Do not buy - Do not waste your $$

Congrats on being the only program to freeze XPby - January 2, 2004

Pros: Easy to figure out

Cons: Well, I've been running Windows XP for quite some time now and this is the only program I've used that freezes up or malfunctions in some way on a cosistant basis. I have a P3 1 gig processor and 256 megs of ram and Audio Central runs at a snails pace.

Good tools...by - December 30, 2003

Pros: The tools included give the user a good amount of options and work pretty reliably. The software puts several straightforward interfaces that are easy to use and can quickly and effectively do simple back-up operations that span DVDs or CDs, or burns. The

Cons: The software is spread out across a few modules. I've made two coasters in disc spanning operations. The DVD video disc authoring software and the compressor it uses aren't loaded with options (you might think this is a good thing).

Unstable, crashes, and interferes w/ Sonic MyDVDby - December 28, 2003

Pros: Tries to do everything

Cons: Tries to do too much, very shallow. Interferes with my Sonic MyDVD. Crashes WinXP, unstable. Documentation is shallow

absolutely horribleby - December 27, 2003

Pros: not much

Cons: bad burns (pixelized), slow, audio and video sinc is off on long burns, limited options

Problems with CD-Writer recognition and Conflict with other burner-softwareby - December 19, 2003

Pros: Great looks.

Cons: You need to have the correct OS and CD-writer for it to work. This however does not guarantee that it will not stop working sometime down the road when you install an incompatible apps. I'll go for Nero

Bad, Bad, Bad!by - December 15, 2003

Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Well know issues with Windows 2000. I spent 2 days on the phone w/ tech support trying to fix problems that the company knows about. (invalid boot device screen) Finally got it fixed, only to have it reoccur later. They wanted to charge me $50 to fix i

Recommended !!by - December 14, 2003

Pros: I've Tried both, Nero 6 and Easy cd and dvd creator 6 and to be honest, both worked fine on my PC, But Easy cd and dvd creator is by far more easier and user friendly than Nero. I don't know Why so many people hate Roxio, may be they don't know how to use

Cons: Just a few minor bugs which i think will be corrected in the updates for the software.

Great burning softwareby - December 2, 2003

Pros: I really don't know why so many people have negative views about Roxio's ECDC 6. I installed the ecdc 6 platinum with no problem. The interface is great and integration is fantastico! I really prefer ecdc 6 over nero big time, as nero doesn't burn copyr

Cons:

Makes Great Beer Coastersby - November 24, 2003

Pros: Great interface. Dummy proof controls. Very understanding intructions.

Cons: I don't have enough room to tell ya all the problems this crappy software has created. Crashes my computer, doesn't finish burns, corrupted files, the list goes on and on. Unreliable and undependable is the best review I can give this garbage

Not worthyby - November 17, 2003

Pros:

Cons: Has crashed our system twice. No worthwhile product support. Unstable disk copying features. Going for a refund...

to buy this software is to enter the twilight zoneby - November 12, 2003

Pros: many features

Cons: -almost impossible to install -hard or impossible to penetrate online help, tech support, or customer service -Roxio responses take days or longer to arrive -any problems? you're on your own

IT manager says this is junkby - November 7, 2003

Pros: Came free with DVD burner

Cons: Do not buy this crap. Crashes system. DVDs do not work on other PCs despite that option being chosen. CD burning didn't work -wasted 1/2 day trying to get it to work. Junk.

Works Fine If Your Not A Moronby - November 7, 2003

Pros: The product does what it is supposed to do. I have read some of the other people's comments and they need to learn how to use their computers. Those are the people that don't know where the power button is, you know who you are! In short it works.

Cons: Doesnt allow you move the links on the menu screen to where you want in the DVD creator. At least I am unaware of how to do so just yet.

Haven't hand any problemsby - November 7, 2003

Pros: Easy to use and good quality DVDs. I have been using it out of the box with no problems! I have not done any of the upgrades and that may be my saving grace. I have found it easier than Nero or any Pinnacle product and am very happy with the product.

Cons: Product support is poor but the online forums are very beneficial.

Not worth the trouble of learning how to use it.by - November 7, 2003

Pros:

Cons: 1. When installing v.6 photo albums made with v.5 are gone. 2.After making photo album with v.6 the only options are to email it to someone or to save to HD. Cannot burn to CD.(don't they know that emailing someone a myltimeg email is rude?) 3. sound tra

Can't Install on XP Proby - October 26, 2003

Pros: Great Marketing

Cons: Can't burn CDs - "fixes" on website don't work - Version 6 is pure VAPORWARE

DVD Creator Will Not Encodeby - October 23, 2003

Pros: Easy to set up, had no problem installing it.

Cons: Will not encode DVD's properly, and hangs my computer when coping DVD. That has never happend whit windows XP to this point... Rovio online support is a joke, it takes sometimes a week to get an answer and then there advice is to do the things you told th

well worht the valueby - October 16, 2003

Pros: my fiancee makes mass produstion cd"s for him self as a dj and this si easy and works great i like it because ya dont gotta be a rocket scientist to figure it out and thses people who have so much problems it is a user failure not a product failure your

Cons: every one gives roxio sucjh a bad name i have never had to call for support it is that simple ad if your dvd"s dont work ya need to tweak an adjustment here and there!!!!!!!

A BIG backward step Roxio!!! Its back to either version 5 - or Nero for me!by - October 14, 2003

Pros: Lots of features (it appears at first glance)

Cons: Crashes the hell out of my otherwise completely rock-solid windows xp pro machine(s) and my two different (new) otherwise-perfect CD writers. Drag to disc is NOT an improvement over DirectCD - quite the opposite. Sounds good ... but it aint!

CD'S Ok DVD's NOby - October 3, 2003

Pros: dealing with Cd's no problem

Cons: DVD's are out of sync with sound track and gets worse as the DVD comes to the end.It's like those old Japanese movies.Great software for weddings,birthdays if like to laugh at the mistake of buying this product.Tried to find an update to remedy this probl

pathetic product going back to a basic softwareby - September 24, 2003

Pros: sounds like it would be good

Cons: almost lost my pc forever. This product should not be loaded on pc's with XP

It's not that badby - September 16, 2003

Pros: worked with my older Yamaha CRW2100e. Once I realized it was a must to "test" the CDWR, the headache subsided a bit. At first, I received an error msg while trying to burn a music CD and the Disk copier did not recognize my Yamaha CDR. AFter I complted b

Cons: Instructions should cleary indicate "testing" your drive w/the "test" feature is a must be completed before actually trying anything. Maybe I rushed but I did not see anything that said to "test" the drive first. My TSID was not recognized on the online

sorry I spent the money on itby - August 19, 2003

Pros: Don't know. Haven't gotten it to work yet.

Cons: It took about 8 hours to download it, and when I went to install, got a blue screen and all I could do was unplug the computer. I can't get it to work. It doesn't recognize that I have a cd in the drive. I tried different brands and different formats. So

Dumbed-down instructions, flawed DVDsby - August 19, 2003

Pros: Offers a number of audio options and some ease of use in video editor.

Cons: Instructions assume you are dumb and seems inflexible at times. The problem with DVDs is that the images colors change and they are too big for the TV screen on a regular DVD player. Customer support is iffy at best. If I could get the DVD creation to wor

Audio is out of sync with Videoby - August 17, 2003

Pros: None if you have to accept the cons

Cons: Audio and Video on DVD are several seconds out of sync. When you search their protected support pages, there are hundreds of complaints with no fix in sight. Makes the program worthless, and a waste of a lot of DVD's while figuring this out!

Having a lot of trouble with Roxio CD6by - July 28, 2003

Pros: If you could get it to work, it'd be a fine product.

Cons: Won't copy certain tracks, won't copy certain CD's, won't do what it advertises and frequently locks up the machine.

Installation causes loss of system restore on systems using Windows XP.by - July 14, 2003

Pros: Has a lot of features.

Cons: Most DVD functions don't work. Drag to disc does not work. Worst of all, installation causes loss of system restore on scomputers running on Windows XP. This happened on my computer and that of a friend. The only way to get system restore back is to r

promises much but delivers little.by - July 8, 2003

Pros: sometimes it actually does what it says when making audio CDs/

Cons: Does not recognize my CDRs; does not display contents of CDRs; so-called workarounds do not work around anything. Too expensive and unreliable. Froze up my XP, couldn't open the CD Rom tray unless I shut down the computer. Bad deal. I regret buying it.

Great Features....(If they would work)by - June 23, 2003

Pros: Promises to be the best in the business. Greta features listed. Everything you need.

Cons: Can't get it to work half the time. Took 5 hours just to get it to install.

Rebate Requests Not Being Honoredby - June 18, 2003

Pros: Acceptable performance. All CD/DVD burning programs can be tricky at best. Previous owner of Roxio/Adaptec versions 4 and 5 as well.

Cons: Rebate requests with Roxio have degenerated into a farce game of automated email responses regarding rebate requests which are not being honored. Over the years, I have submitted computer-related rebates too many in number to count. Rebate requests have
