 Caveat Emptor August 6, 2008
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.
 Good for starting out July 3, 2008

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.
 Easy Media Creator Suite 10 - Why 5 stars? June 25, 2008

Looking at the reviews on Amazon the average was between 2 and 3. On closer examination they were mainly Ones or Fives. Having bought previous Sonic and Roxio material I could understand why. The CD and DVD copying facilities were spot on but converting old video tapes to DVD were a pain in the ass because it took years (well 8 hours at least!) to convert a normal video tape to DVD. Anything more than 15 minutes long also got out of sync (I presume because of my slow computer). Looking at the reviews of other similar software in the price range such as Nero and Adobe they both suffered from the same problems and the same 1 star or 5 star reviews. Therefore, I stopped trying to convert tapes to DVD and bought a DVD recorder that would do it in 6 minutes - sorry! - end of story!
However, what about slideshows with audio: or capturing audio from the internet; or doing short clips that you can personalise?
In each instance, this software is brilliant!!!
I had done a sequence of photos that I wanted to convert into a slideshow with music. The software that I already had would do this, but it was still a hit and miss affair trying to fully sync the photos with the music and I could not record it to DVD. However with Easy Media Creator within minutes I had done all that I wanted to do that I couldn't with my original software. The music length automatically fitted to the photos.
I accept that for anyone trying to create the next movie blockbuster the software may be a little inadequate or slow. I have a slow computer so I have learned patience. However, the software is spot on. Admittedly, it took an hour to install the software (hence a lot of the 1 star ratings).
But once this was done it performed admirably, bearing in mind that all I expect is:
a decent slideshow creator;
a first class CD and DVD copying facility;
a decent piece of software that converts my .AVI movie files from my camera to DVD;
and
captures the audio from ANYTHING I am playing on my computer (which is an XP).
In all these respects Easy Media Creator 10 Suite easily fits the bill.
Flaky software June 15, 2008
I have previously used Videowave 9 with great success. I thought that Easy Media 10 would be a good update for Vista. Media 10 frequently hangs up and requires the Task Manager to terminate it. Video files created with Videowave 9 lose their music track (AC3) with Creator 10. Copying CD tracks to AC3 hang up. This version was not ready for release.
DO NOT BUY March 12, 2008

I have the misfortune to own and have installed this software on my PC. Having been a fan of Roxio easy media creator 7.5, which I hasten to add has worked brilliantly, but unfortunately has some conflicts with Vista, so finally decided to upgrade BIG MISTAKE. This software will slow your whole pc down to a snails pace and prey ask where is an "uninstall" when you need it. Also now I am unable to go back to my 7.5 version unless I decide to go back to using XP. Definitely a big waste of money and the worst product I've had the misfortune to own. Roxio has definitely lost a fan and previously loyal customer. Surely software is supposed to improve not regress.
