Mossberg Dislikes Roxio's Easy Media Creator 7
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 01:00 PM
"After testing Media Creator, I believe it is a good step forward in Windows multimedia software. Roxio has done a lot to create a more unified user interface, and the new cross-program modules do help to tie the program's functions together. But in my tests I found these efforts to be mainly skin deep and sometimes confusing. And I encountered a number of flaws and defects. Screens and functions launched slowly, occasionally froze or quit unexpectedly. Worse, it took three tries to create a multimedia DVD that actually played."
Walt came, Walk saw, and Walt didn't like what he saw. I haven't tried this product yet, so I'm not sure what to believe - Maximum PC, the only magazine I trust, did a head to head review between this product and the latest version of Nero, and they picked the Roxio product as the better product. Any users of this product? What do you think?
You can also check out a video of Walt commenting on the product. (CNBC calls that "high bandwidth" - sheesh!)
