Roxio Creator 2010 Pro

Let's get this out of the way right up front: If you are looking for the ultimate in creating and preserving personal video and audio for Windows XP, Vista or 7 32 AND 64 bit, get Roxio's Creator 2010 Pro. It has all the great features of Roxio Creator 2010 like burning and copying tools whether you want to make a data disc, copy an existing CD, make a music disc, create a video DVD, back up a hard disk, but with over $300 in extras for just $30 more. Creator 2010 Pro does so much more than just a program that copies stuff to discs. The program provides a complete suite of tools for working with music, photos, and videos. If you're a computer novice, Creator 2010 could be the only media-related program you'll ever need.

Though there are more than two dozen programs in the suite, it's not overwhelming to use; everything is held together with an elegant, smartly organized home screen where you can choose the kind of task you want to perform--whether it's copying photos from your digital camera to the computer, editing video clips from your camcorder, or converting music from cassettes and LPs. Creator 2010 Pro also includes all the plug-ins you will need to author HD Blu-Ray video, totally backup your entire system, improve your audio with state-of-the-art noise reduction technology, and create great soundtracks for your video masterpieces.

Roxio gets the basics right. The Drag-to-disc icon, which sits at the bottom of the Windows desktop, makes it a snap to burn CDs just by dragging files--it's far easier than making CDs in Windows alone. You can also print disc labels, and even catalog and play your digital music collection.

No matter what your skill level, Creator 2010 has exactly what you need to create and preserve your video and audio treasures. And by that measure, it is money well spent.
