What our customer's say!

"Creator 2009", Don't waste your hard earned money on this product. I had Easy Creator 9 that I have been using until I purchased a new PC and needed new software for burning movies to DVD and making CD's. Since this came with the USB capture device, I thought I would give it a try. You have to open so many programs to capture, edit and finally burn that it is too confusing, and half the time it crashes. Thank goodness the capture device is recognized by Pinnacle ver 9. All you do on that one in three easy steps on one program is capture, edit and burn. Can't get any easier than that. Plus its difficult to get real online support from Roxio. If you want to burn CD's or rip music or load to your MP3 player etc just use Media Player ver 11. If you want to burn DVD's use Pinnacle or Microsoft Movie Maker. Save your money and use the resources you already have on your PC. I am giving it one star just because I can burn Lightscribe disks with it and even Lightscribe has a free download for burning. 2009 will also not export my Creator previous files. It isn't my PC either since I am running an Intel Core 2 Quad with 4 gigs of RAM.

"Great burning software", Roxio Creator 2009 is an update to the popular Roxio Easy Media Creator 10. 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. 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. Once a feature is selected (i.e., Burn Audio CDs), the application easily walks you through the steps necessary to accomplish the task.

Overall, I found the package to be very easy to use and thorough in its functionality. 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). 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. With today's gargantuan disks, the space issue is not normally a major problem. Once the initial application screen appears, the program appears to be as snappy as or snappier than its predecessor.

The one feature that I would like to see is in the Data Backup application. This application only supports backing up to an optical device. I would like to see support for backing up to other devices either internal or removable (i.e., either internal or external disk drives).


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

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

"Creator 2009 - a HIT!", 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 now captures, creates, and copies high definition video onto low cost DVD media, as well as Blu-Ray media. It has finally fixed annoying software conflicts with my homebrew collection of new PC and old CD/DVD disk drives.

Video editing is inherently complex. Creator uses 3 applications. "CineMagic" provides fast and simple movie creation. "VideoWave" allows advanced video editing. "MyDVD" creates DVDs with optional menu.

Video online sharing is linked to [...]. 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.

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. Importantly, the software successfully juggled software process priorities so that keyboard, display, and mouse did NOT become sluggish.

Photo sharing is provided by Roxio "OnLine". 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. (Roxio offers a premium $service, with a choice of 100s of songs.) I seamlessly used the on-line service to sort my photos, and apply special effects, and titles. I was very pleased with the resulting photo show, which I privately shared with multiple relatives.

For my audio and video needs, Creator 2009 is a "must have" media suite.

"Installation Hell", I have Vista Home Premium (64bit version) and I have spent hours trying to install this product. I am an IT helpdesk tech -- this shouldn't be hard. I spent the entire day following instructions sent to me by Roxio support, and the program still will not run. If you want phone support it is $1.89 a minute. The install and uninstall processes take over 15 minutes each time. I rue the day I bought this product. I should not have to pay to get proper support in order to install a program that cost $80.00. I used to be a Roxio fan. Never again.

"new user", So far so good - but I need more time to learn and test the software.

"Both Outside and Internal changes made for the better", Physically the creator suite has a different feel and look. Many users get annoyed when their programs change but I think this was the right call. The main menu remains on screen after activating programs so its easy to go to another program if you change your mind or are done with one program. Simple but it saves time when you need several programs for a project. No doubt the programs activate instantaneously compared to old versions. About time since pcs have much more power these days.

Features: Media Import covers much more than camcorders and cameras. Newer devices like the iphone, PSP have been added. Other phones and media players are here too though I don't have them myself to test. The iPhone and PSP though are very different but the same program knows the right way to convert the files for them. Sony sells a PSP manager package but its about half the cost of the whole roxio suite. May as well get more programs. I was a big fan of earlier PhotoSuite versions and the photo projects and they still managed to get better. I've been able to edit photos enough to make them sharper looking and crop and resize them. The slideshow program is still easy but its added better sound support. Not only is it easier to add music but the audio editor is better too.

Roxio Creator 2009 has quicker response times, better features, and a better layout.

"Changes justified an Upgrade", The new Roxio media suite has overhauled its menu system so it looks like a different program. The physical differences may be greater than the program differences from Creator 10. But the changes were enough for me to get the new version and I have no regrets. In general the suite is better linked and quicker to respond. I got used to the loading lag time in 10 but now that I see how much faster it loads I won't want to put up with the slower loading. The music area has much more. Songs can be blended together with an auto mixer which acts like a DJ. It creates a beat between songs based on their personal rhythms so there is really no transition. Of course it helps to put the right songs together to make this work. Many have mentioned the HD and BD disc formatting which I agree is a major new feature. The audio book chapter/bookmark option is nice to have. I think the online new features are okay, but not reason to upgrade on them alone. Ditto for the new templates. However the sum of the new features made it a good enough buy.

"Roxio Creator 2009 and AVCHD files", AVCHD disk created by this software is extremely poor quality. Do not buy this software if you work with AVCHD files from a high definition camcorder.
