 Avoid this product October 3, 2008
I tried this program in Vista Premium and Windows XP sp3; Nothing but problems. In Vista practically all of the containing programs didn't run. And in xp it lead to frequent blue screens of death. In both operating systems there was an improvement when Easy Media Creator 10 was removed. My systems are quite high end with 3gigs of ram and 2gz Athlon 3200+ 64s. Go for Nero if you want result.
Video editing - forget it!! August 24, 2008

The Roxio Easy Media packages always appear to be packed with lots of programs promising much for your money. Indeed they do but some of the promises tend to be empty in my experience.
Most of the features work apart from video editing - I have versions 7, 9 and 10 (the latter was bundled free with a new PC) and can't get any of them to actually produce a video. I can go through the process of assembling scenes (on a good day) but then it will freeze, shut down, inform me `there is no common data between these pins' or advise me that 'DIVX software is not installed on the computer' (it is - and Roxio was pre-installed on the same PC when purchased). Whatever the error message, the result is always the same - hours of work is wasted.
So, if you're looking for basic photo editing, sound editing, CD/DVD copying and the other functions then it's a reasonable package but if you want it to edit video footage or produce your own videos then I would urge anyone to look elsewhere for a more reliable product because this fails spectacularly every time for me. Ulead Video Studio is an easy to use and reliable package or try the Sony Vegas software. This isn't quite as simple but is much more flexible if you're familiar with the editing process.

This software is incapable of importing files correctly created in Canon camcorders which work OK with Premiere Elements. It imports 16-9 aspect ratio files as 4-3. The best the help desk can do is suggest using a shareware programme to rset the 16-9 flag. It made no difference. Just have a look in the help FAQ and look at the phaff involve in getting a clean install!!!!! I am a retired IT professional and rate this software and Roxio help as totally incapable. I wish I had read the reviews before buying. The software has been un-installed and sent back for a refund as unfit for purpose. If I had been using a micky mouse camera there may be an excuse but to say that files ceated by a market leader are the problem is rubish. Given one star because you have to give something I would ive minus one if I could.
Far too many quirks and problems July 21, 2008
One needs to expect to spend time learning the interface for new software, but Roxio 10 is just too non-intuitive, crashes too often and does too many illogical things to be worth buying.
Creating a slideshow is fine, except that when you drag a slide to a new position it leaves a blank slide in the old one: duh!
Creating a DVD menu is fine, except if you don't know you've got to set the format (3:2 vs 16:9) right at the start, you lose all your customized changes.
Burning a DVD loses lip-sync on a video (I've found this can be corrected by moving the audio track of a finished movie 6 frames behind the video).
I could go on enumerating the crashes and glitches, but let's just say if you can afford to spend a fortune in cash and time going through blank DVDs to sort out all the little problems, this software is fine. If you want something that just works, forget Roxio.

I wasn't really into making alot of video's or anything, mainly because what came with the computer was so simple. This is a step up. It worked wonderfully. I'm not into reading manuals but picked this up pretty easily with some trial and error. The manual is easy to understand though.
So my youtubing phase started and i've not looked back.
However, now I'm ready for something that offers a little more options. This is a simple program which meets basic needs for any home movie maker, but with youtube I want to experiment more creatively, such like Adobe premier elements offers (though I am worried about the crashing problem with that software).
So 4 stars for this great program, minus one for its simplicity.
I also wanted to add that it comed with music and sound editing software which was fabulous for my needs and loved playing aroung with it! I wish I had a better mic though.
