Roxio Creator 2010

Roxio Creator 2010 is a comprehensive media suite that lets users capture, edit, enhance and distribute all forms of multimedia including images, video, and audio. This software is the complete package, covering every aspect of multimedia creation including:

• CD or DVD Burning and Copying
• Video Editing and Capturing
• Media Capturing: Rips and Saves Various Video and Audio Formats
• Audio Enhancement, Mixing and Digitization
• Photo Organization: Creates Playlists, Calendars and Panoramas
• Exports Media to Various Platforms including Mobile Devices and YouTube

This edition of Roxio Creator has contributed notable improvements, one of which is enhanced video playback. The software now optimizes video to match the display characteristics and playback features of the desired playback device. For example, if the video is being exported to a mobile device, then the software will automatically detect the settings of that device and adjust the playback features of the video accordingly.

Web Capture - Also added to the video arsenal is the Web Video Capture feature, which lets users capture online streaming video from popular sites such as YouTube or MetaCafe. Users can also capture audio form streaming internet radio as well. This captured streaming media can then be saved to a desired location on the hard drive, burned to a DVD (or VCD), or exported to a mobile device such as an iPod.

Learning Center - Roxio Creator 2010 includes a comprehensive Learning Center packed with video tutorials and in-depth feature guides that explain every aspect of the software in detail. This area of the software can be particularly helpful as there are many features to learn in this multimedia mega suite. The software also includes access to Roxio CinemaNow, which is a massive online media database packed with new DVD movies. Using Roxio CinemaNow in conjunction with the learning center is a good way to become acquainted with the software.

Redesigned Interface - Although this edition of Roxio Creator is feature-rich and far more comprehensive than it's predecessors, the user interface has been completely redesigned to compliment the extreme functionality with superb simplicity. The design is now "task oriented", which means the more frequently used features are easier to access.

With the desktop burning feature, files can now be burned simply by dragging them onto the Roxio Creator icon located on the desktop. Once the item has been dropped onto the icon the burn process will be activated immediately, saving time and computer resources. Users can also create slideshows from photo compilations and videos, with added effects such as music and professional graphics.
