Key New Features and Enhancements
Easy Media Creator 10 combines over 40 components and many new features and enhancements into a comprehensive suite of best-of-breed digital media applications. Here is a quick breakdown of what's new in Creator 10:

Embracing Vista
The now fully certified Easy Media Creator 10, is the ideal complement and enhancement to Microsoft Vista. The product now sports a stunning new "Aero" User Interface design in keeping with the visual appeal of the latest Operating System. Perhaps more importantly, Easy Media Creator offers new features and capabilities that are specifically designed to naturally extend the digital-media functionality of Vista. Creator now also includes new Vista gadgets, which make it convenient for users to quickly convert audio and video files to a favorite file type directly on the Vista desktop. In the case of the audio gadget, users can also use it to capture audio from various sources including streaming Web audio.

Mobile Companion
Easily Media Creator 10 adds a number of features to allow users to maximize the use of their multi-media enabled devices. This includes a feature for quickly fixing photos snapped using a device's built-in digital cameras called Mobile Photo Doctor. In addition, Mobile PhotoFit ensures digital photos are displayed accurately based on the capabilities of the device and a synchronizing tool enables users to prepare content for automatic transfer the next time a device is connected.

Enhancing Audio
For audiophiles, Easy Media Creator makes improvements to AutoMix a feature that automatically generates a collection of songs that sound great together based on a single Oseed' song selected by the user. The resulting collection can be saved to the Hard Drive as a playlist, used to create a music CD, DVD, or sent to a mobile player. DVD Music Album, the feature that allows users to create 50-hour music DVDs complete with on-screen navigation has been enhanced with a range of new professionally-designed menu templates. Easy Media Creator also now offers a Batch Audio Converter that saves users time by automatically converting a wide range of audio file types into a single desired format (such as .MP3). The program also provides users with the ability to use disc drives in parallel so they can very quickly rip their entire CD collection. In addition, Creator's Sound Editor now supports VST plugins to allow users to enhance their audio editing and mixing capabilities.

Data Protection
Creator 10 lets users backup files to predefined archive categories such as Email, Financial, Music, and Photos or create their own custom categories. Special features allow users to backup only files that have changed since the last known backup or automatically prompt for a backup when an external Hard Drive is connected. Creator supports a range of backup devices and media including Blu-ray Discs and HD DVD discs. Large files can be automatically spanned across multiple discs as required. Finding a file that's stored on a disc is now a whole lot easier thanks to the new Disc Gallery feature that creates a catalog on the user's PC of all the offline content stored on CDs and DVDs. In addition, Creator now includes a feature to enable users to archive non-protected iPod music and video files to a PC even if that PC is not paired with the device.

After you have created a video using the video creation tools in Creator 10, you can easily upload it to YouTube.



There are dozens of menu styles to choose from for any event or occasion, including all new professionally designed styles with matching chapter/scene menus.

Video Editing and Publishing
Beyond the unrivaled editing power offered in the 32-track timeline, complete with batch video-segment removal, timeline markers and automatic tools for correcting color and removing background noise, users can now easily add the perfect sound track with the SmartSound feature. SmartSound provides a variety of built-in sound tracks to suit any mood. Users simply select the music they like and it is automatically added and adjusted to fit the length of their production. Video output options have also been enhanced. Creator supports quick output of video content to popular user-generated content site YouTube. The suite also provides new menu styles, menu navigation, and Fit-to-Disc auto encoding for when users author DVDs.

1 out of 5 stars Roxio has regressed   July 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful


The Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 is not user friendly and cannot be used as easily as the EMC 7. The software geeks ruined a good program when the upgraded to this. I would not recommend it, Roxio will lose the support of their past patrons with this program.



5 out of 5 stars Good functionality, a bit clunky   July 17, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I received this shortly after upgrading to a Vista-capable laptop. I've had no problems with the software. It burns DVDs and CDs well, but not necessarily better than the software that was resident on my laptop in the first place. So, I give it credit for that, but can't necessarily recommend it just for that.

The video and audio clean-up features are interesting -- I have a Flip video camera, and this has enabled me to produce a few more polished productions that might have been possible before.

I really like the DVD Music Album feature -- perhaps there are other software packages out there and perhaps I am behind the times, but I wasn't aware of this kind of feature before using Creator 10. I have been able to put all of the work of particular artists onto one disc for handy use; for example, all of the Tallis Scholars work (which spans dozens of disks) or all of the Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys works (yes, I am a child of the 80's!) on one disc is very convenient and useful.

Roxio was already the software I was used to, so there was not a significant lead time toward understanding the navigation or features from a functional level -- things operated fairly intuitively.

I am happy with this software. I look forward as the need arises to explore the other functions.



5 out of 5 stars Organizer, Editor, converter, Backup   July 16, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Talk about doing it all. The more I use it the more I find something to use. Organizing, I'm ok but tend to put everything in myphotos, myvideos, and so on. Of course the folders are full and it's hard ot find everything. I've made a lot of projects and have made subject folders. I can still see everthing with the media manager and by setting it on media type. It also monitors new media and adds it to the manager.
For editing the programs are adequate, maybe a bit more. The photo editor has the essentials plus panaroma. It melds several photos together which is something I tend to do for landscapes and large objects like statues.
Photsuite is not a professional level program but a quick editor. If you can use very advanced programs more power to you, but this is the right level for me. I've been able to make slideshows and albums. I tried one standalone generic album program but it didn't work well and saved in a weird format. It's easy to make the shows workable on pcs, macs and even the internet. I haven't done much in video editing but I do use roxio for video viewing. It replaced several small format specific players. I don't edit music files much but I do like the music creator program. I just select music type and a few other options and presto, custom music. Again, it's not a pro level program but an easy quick way to make simple tunes. I think the average user can pick this up and start using it immediately. It doesn't seem made for complex music making nor photo alteration. It does fix and convert media files easily.



1 out of 5 stars Give me an alternative - PLEASE!   July 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

XP WMC SP2
3G
Version 9.? (can't tell you right now it is frozen up)

I am using the nine version (well, I have installed it for the third time now, getting some use out of it is,...another story) and really want to find something that works. I need something that will produce a combo of slide show and video to DVD and allows the creation of menus. Oh yeah, and something that doesn't throw my system into Apocalypse mode. That would be nice. Please, I realise the people who come here have mostly been had by Roxio already (as have I) but some of you will have suggestions as to a stable alternative. After reading these reviews for 10 I can easily guess that "upgrading" would be sheer folly on my part only comparable to my installing this version 9? yet one more time.

Also looking for recommendations on how to eliminate this from my system so I can stop hard rebooting as I have to since I installed. Plus it would be nice to get my Office Suite to run again. Help!

I'm very sure that I will never knowingly buy another Roxio product after the circus that has taken place on my desktop...

Now for the next hard reboot...



4 out of 5 stars So Far No Problems   July 14, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was hesitant to buy this software after reading the mixed reviews but I bought it anyway because I needed the software to burn programs to DVD that I had streamed to my computer from my TiVo. I followed all the advise of doing the installation on a fresh restart and turning off all other programs, especially the Norton virus protection and firewall. The install did take some time but went off without any problems. As stated in other reviews this program is definitely a resource hog and it does take some time to load the various components of the software but so far everything has worked well. One other reviewer mentioned a program that runs in the background and while he didn't say what that program was (go figure!) he said when turned off it helped performance. I think it is the Media Manager program that continually scans all your folders for new content. I turned that off as well but am not really sure if it made the program load faster. CD ripping is a breeze with lots of options and the basic DVD burning so far works well although it takes a long time to encode and then burn video material. I did have some initial trouble burning the .Tivo files to DVD but I finally got it to work and the burned DVD's play in my stand alone DVD player. I really think that all the negative comments about this program are individual computer system related problems. I mean think of all the variables that would cause problems. Luckily I have not yet experienced any of the catstrophic problems that some other users have had. The manual is very basic and just touches the surface of what each component of this program can do. Each component of the program has its own HELP information in the menu with more detailed information. This program definitely has something for everybody from the novice to the advanced user. Hopefully you will have good luck with it too.
