• Does an awesome job if you can get it to work.

  icepurpleOctober 2, 2014

  Pros

  Has great features, and if you get a working copy, it can turn out some very professional work. Love the transitions for slideshows.

  Cons

  I have had 3 different versions of Roxio. Had problems with all of them. Once it breaks, it breaks good. Getting knowledgeable help is almost none existence. I have 2012 Pro. Can't get it to launch. All the tech suggestions failed. You will spend a lot of time trying to repair and get program working once it craps out. The cost is not worth the headaches. I believe there are too many variables in this software that determines weather it works smoothly on your machine or not. It may start out working great, but odds are, at some point it will disappoint you.

  Summary

  Buy at your own risk.

• Complete rubbish

  charles_copeNovember 22, 2013

  Pros

  None at all

  Cons

  Worst piece of software on the planet

  Summary

  If you want to avoid endless hours of installing and re-installing, giving permission to various incompatible Roxio exe files because the program has so many issues, and throwing away perfectly good disks because Roxio gives a "medium error" - stay away from this product.

• What a piece of JUNK!

  MaxPeck58June 26, 2013

  Pros

  NONE*NONE*NONE

  Cons

  I've been using this for about a year then all-of-a-sudden it starts crashing when trying to create DVD's (Video Wave). Re-Install. Rinse, repeat ... crashes in same place. This is disgusting. I shouldn't have this kind of problem on a well endowed i7 machine.

  Summary

  Don't buy.

• Waste of Money, Absurd, Embarrassment to Technology

  love2succeedMay 7, 2013

  Pros

  I have nothing good to say about this junk. NO PROS.

  Cons

  I will never ever buy their products again. I spent more of my time trying to work around this junk software. Then to make matters worse, there are so many bugs, and the performance is horrific. I HATE this product, and I wish we could get together and find out what can be done for marketing such JUNK!!! With all of the business intelligence out there, they could not get this product to work better than this??????? There are so many other products out there that are better. I finally got an image to burn, but when I go to make a copy there are all these errors... when I look on the website - other people are having these same experience.

  Summary

  My opinion - do not waste your money. Buyer beware.

• FULL OF BUGS

  snowball70April 27, 2013

  Pros

  NONE WHATSOEVER

  Cons

  I purchased Roxio NXT online and received the installation disc through the mail. After installing the software and trying to use it I keep getting a message telling me that screen resolution is too low and needs to be set to 1024 x 768 pixels or higher, and the color quality to 16-bit or higher. My screen resolution and clor quality is set way above what they're calling for. I E-mailed Corel asking for a solution to the problem. They assigned me a case number but no help. I've tried contacting Corel/Roxio, if you want Tech support YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. All you get is the run-around from their web site for self help. Plus, if you are not aware, Roxio does AUDIT your computer via the internet without you being aware, for installs and usage. There is NO TECH SUPPORT AT ALL on this Product from Roxio. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY ROXIO PRODUCT TO ANYBODY.

  Summary

  ROXIO DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

• Can't Create AVCHD DVDs

  TurbopawsFebruary 23, 2013

  Pros

  There might be some but I have not found them.

  Cons

  I have used previous versions of Roxio Creator 9 and 10 to create slide shows and these products have worked well. I installed Roxio Creator 2012 Pro with the intent of creating High Definition AVCHD DVDs of my slide shows. Roxio's website claims that the product does create AVCHD disk. Every time I tried to create a disk I end up getting error messages and the burn fails. No matter what sequence of event I try it still fails. The error messages I get are "Project_BuildToDevice() AuthorScript call failed. Error while writing format" and "8007000e Error While encoding menu".

  Summary

  Don't buy this software to create AVCHD disk. It does not work.

• What a dissappointment! I give it a .00001

  828WaTChNovember 15, 2012

  Pros

  There are no pros to this product

  Cons

  It wouldn't download and it took hours to find out that it wouldn't download. It took several more hours to figure out that the user wasn't the problem. I don't know how many more hours it's going to take to get my money back. I LOVED my old Roxio software and I am going to miss it dearly. I am as dissappointed about this as I was to find out there was not Santa Claus or Easter Bunny!

  Summary

  Do not waste your time purchasing this software. This product is truly a lemon!

  Summary

  DO NOT PURCHASE ANY ROXIO OR COREL PRODUCTS!!
