Dealing with Roxio is a fools errand. Because PC Magazine rated them higher than Nero, I bought
their package Roxio creater Ultimate from the Roxio web site. I was billed $149 on my credit card
for a package I could have had for 40 dollars cheaper at Best Buy. At a local computer store I would
have purchased a box with a manual and the software. From Roxio, I received an envelope with the
software in it. Roxio offers on their web site a 20 rebate program. They refuse the rebate! They
have a money back guarantee, so if you apply for your money back, they no longer have your web
address and deny you access to their forums. This is a fly by night piece of dog excrement, avoid at
all cost.
Roxio's programs have been taken for granted because they are easy to use and maybe the perception
is that it isn't for techphiles. I saw mixed reactions to roxio's programs but since I've used mydvd
and liked it I took a chance on the latest suite. I'm glad I did. It has everything I could want in
one package. It handles my iphone and I can transfer files back and forth between phone & pc. I
can even make slideshows for the iphone. A big improvement is that it can burn high def and bluray
video files onto standard type disks. This has saved me a lot of money since I don't have to buy the
still expensive high end disks. I think it's worth a look.
