With Creator 9, you can burn up to 50 hours of music on DVDs with onscreen menus and Dolby Digital sound, organize all of your digital photos, turn your home movies into entertaining DVDs, and back up all your files onto CDs, DVDs, double-layer DVDs, and even Blu-ray discs.

In addition to letting you burn up to 50 hours of music on DVDs, Creator 9 lets you automatically add title, artist and genre tags to audio tracks -- even if your music has been captured from LP, tape, or Internet radio. Converting your music from LPs and tapes into MP3 or WMA format takes three easy steps, and you can even erase those annoying "pops" that old analog recordings are (in)famous for. By giving you the tools to adjust the volume, fade-in/fade-out, and stereo pan from any point in a track, Creator 9 gives you what it takes to make great, personalized audio compilations from just about any music source you can access.

Other features include the ability to create unique sound collages with up to eight layers of audio, or automatically burn hundreds of songs across multiple CDs. Roxio has added new music features to Creator 9. Unlike the previous generation, this version can automatically create perfect mixes from your PC music library. It is also equipped with new audio capture functions, including a desktop capture widget that helps capture streaming Internet radio and music instantaneously, a pre-roll feature that captures any audio playing on your PC without missing a beat, and a mute-all system sound feature so you can capture only the sounds you want without annoying dings from IM or new email notifications.

<b>Edit and Manage Digital Photos</b>
Impress friends and family with gifts, cards, and more, all loaded with personalized features, such as a snapshot from a family vacation or a picture of your child's smiling face on a personalized email-ready birthday invitation. Create a gift calendar with travel photos for your favorite traveling companions, or produce cards from dozens of professionally designed templates for almost any occasion. You can even use Photo Assistants to make impressive panoramas and photo collages with easy-to-set layers, edge fading, and transparency effects. With Roxio, photo editing is simple and easy. Use Creator 9 to crop, rotate, correct brightness and remove red-eye with just one click.

<b>Capture and Manipulate Digital Video</b>
With the newest version of Roxio Easy Media Creator you can capture analog or digital video effortlessly with auto-stop for unattended capture and more extensive capture card support. You can snag HD video from the latest HDV camcorders, and preview and keep only the desired scenes with SmartScan and auto-scene detection. And with Plug and Burn, Creator 9 automatically records all the content off your video camera or VHS tape, straight to DVD -- video capture just doesn't get much easier.

<small><b>Edit your home movies and add touches that make them unique. View larger.</b></small></td></tr> </table> Instant Hollywood effects from CineMagic is one of the most impressive video upgrades for the Creator 9. With this feature you can easily filter and select those perfect scenes that must be in your movie. Personalize your movie with new, professionally designed themes that will fit almost any occasion. And you can even create a feature-film look with high-quality intros that will dazzle audiences. If TiVo is your thing, not only does Roxio let you burn your TiVo-recorded shows directly to DVD, you can also remove commercials and unwanted video segments for seamless entertainment. Another new function -- Video Doctor -- auto-corrects video color, contrast and brightness, and allows you to make manual adjustments to improve video recorded under poor conditions.

Roxio allows you to take control of your production with advanced 32-track timeline tools and the creative freedom to edit virtually everything. And you can even add professional transitions, effects, titles, navigation menus, and Dolby Digital Sound to regular or widescreen (16:9) productions.

<b>Burn, Backup and Copy</b>
There's nothing more upsetting that losing all that precious digital data stored on your PC. With Creator 9 you can perform full, partial or incremental backups on demand, or schedule them to be done automatically while you're away. Done effectively, a PC backup can recover almost all of your data after a system crash or drive failure, and Roxio even helps restore the files to their original location. Burning with Roxio is fast, and with the newest version of Easy Media Creator you can save up to 50 GB of data on a single Blu-ray disc. Burn audio and data discs, mixed mode, and enhanced CDs, or create bootable discs to recover your system -- the possibilities are virtually endless.

You can also use Creator 9 to copy your movies to iPod, PSP, mobile phone or other portable video players. Plus, you can easily copy video CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, make high-quality copies of your DVD movies, copy to double layer discs, convert DivX and WMV files into standard DVDs, and more. And once you have finished burning a disc, you can put your final stamp of individuality on the physical disc with custom-designed labels. Creator 9 can print labels directly onto the disc with supported LightScribe and Labelflash drives and media, or you can create personalized disc labels, case inserts and booklets.

1 out of 5 stars Rate 10 on XP, Rate 0 on Vista, Rate Customer Support 0.......2007-06-12

This program works great on an XP environment, but is almost useless on a Vista machine. Roxio has absolutely no customer support. They have been promising a Vista patch for months. I have used the product all the way back to Version 4, but I am now looking for a replacement product. I would not waste your money

1 out of 5 stars Full of bugs and glitches.......2007-06-12

I have used version 8 and now version 9. I bought it for video primarily but cannot use it now due to an issue with the MPEG-2 installation which Roxio licenses from another company. Been trying to get an answer or fix for months but Roxio does not appear to want to fix the problem as they have to pay royalties for every activation.

1 out of 5 stars DVD Creator (Videowave) simply doesn't work.......2007-06-10

I have Windows Vista Ultimate and the software simply doesn't work. I have tried everything including contacting their horrible support (email only). This product has been nothing but a headache. I'm looking to buy Adobe Premiere Elements, hopefully that's better.

5 out of 5 stars I can do so much on a Vista pc now.......2007-06-09

video conversion - good conversion software, you can bypass the tv and use the pc as a monitor with emc9; conversion is close to real time; 2 editing programs to choose, both have their pros and cons; portable device conversion

audio - not just music although it is the best for handling music; hooks up to a song database and it will provide song data; noise filters; compression and conversion for portable devices, even phones; audio recoreder to capture interviews, music, soundtracks, etc.; ringtone creator

photo - strong editor, batch processing, resizing, red eye corrector, photo projects such as albums, calendars, and slideshows; portable device conversion

1 out of 5 stars I'd Rather Stick Needles In My Eyes.......2007-06-05

My Windows Vista PC was working flawlessly until one day, when I decided to purchase and install Roxio's Easy Media Creator 9 Suite. The nightmare began just after the re-boot after the lengthy installation. First up was an error message telling me that some program graphic was installed but could not be loaded. Then came the endless error messages asking me to insert the program CD for files that were not found. Hmmm. I complied with the Roxio god but to no avail. The error messages kept coming as the program kept telling me that it was STILL installing features.

When I finally got through the myriad of errors, the main screen appeared. Success! Was I out of the woods? Hell no. Just a simple click of one of the features (Copy CD) brought Roxio Hell back into my life - with yet more error messages... "Error Runtime this... Error Runtime that..." After almost and hour of pulling my hair out I decided to uninstall this software from hell, and even that took a good 20 minutes.

Note to self (and to YOU reading this): Use another company's product or face eternal installation damnation. I've got better things to do with my time.
