Could not get to work with Flip camcorder January 10, 2008

I had MyDVD 5.5 that came with my Dell and decided to upgrade to MyDVD 9 when I got my new Flip camcorder. I wanted to take the Flip camcorder files (AVI, video: 3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.1, audio: MS ADPCM) and burn them to a DVD. The files seemed to work in MyDVD 5.5 but 5.5 was very slow and didn't have much in the way of menu templates, etc. Clicking the upgrade button on 5.5 took me to the website for 9. MyDVD 9's website seemed to promise a lot more features for a small fee to upgrade. I looked at the website for Easy Media Creator 10 too but was unsure if MyDVD was part of the that package.
So, I got MyDVD 9. After the install, I could no longer view the Flip video files using MyDVD 9. I downloaded gspot which confirmed I had the right codecs installed and I was able to view the files in the default Windows viewer and WinAMP. With MyDVD I always got the (/) icon and was never able to select it. I had some Motion JPEG videos with WAV audio in an AVI container that I was able to make a DVD with but it was slower than slow. Even slower than 5.5. Making DVDs was supposed to be fun and this I hated.
After some searching on the Roxio forums I discovered: 1) There's a MyDVD 10 and it's part of Easy Media Creator 10 and 2) Other folks could not read MPEG-4 video in MyDVD 9 but could in Easy Media Creator 10. Upgrading to EMC-10 instead confirmed all this. I just received my refund for MyDVD 9. For me, the MyDVD as part of Easy Media Creator 10 worked when MyDVD 9 did not. The MyDVD in EMC-10 is also blazing fast in comparison and so far so good I've had success producing two DVDs.
Skip this and get Easy Media Creator 10 instead. Exercise the 30-day refund policy if needed.
Customer support for getting my refund was very good. Use the click-to-chat feature on the Roxio website (every web store should have one). I didn't have much luck with email though I think it was their on-line store support I was emailing which is outsourced to Digital River. There also seems to be a lot of good information in the Roxio forums. If you can't find it in the documentation someone on the forums might know. Though, after you read the forums, you might not want EMC-10 either. It works great for me though!
A disaster of a program September 3, 2007

This software is practically unusable because it is so slow, even on a 2.8 Ghz machine. I mean selecting an object and dragging it is a slow-motion process. Beyond that, they include only three menu backgrounds and charge you for more. The program is filled with bugs. Note that this is in no way related to Sonic MyDVD. The Roxio company apparently bought the name "MyDVD" and used it on this junkware. Oh, it is HUGE. It installs over 6 other programs that you didn't even know you were buying. Save your money and time, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!
MyDVD 9 is a huge step backwards July 2, 2007

I used to happily use MYDVD versions 5 and 6 but recently I purchased version 9. It is a huge disappointment. The interface is completely non-intuitive, and it no longer uses standard Windows file open menus and list boxes. It is extremely slow and full of bugs. Worse, the MBA financial engineers at Roxio have removed features so that they can charge extra for them. After five hours of frustration I removed MYDVD 9 from my system. Technical support was non existent. This is the worst software I can remember using in more than 20 years.
It is not working. The technical suport is very slow and useless June 11, 2007

I bought a Canon DC40 digital camcorder. The software can't capture the video, a pop up message shows that I need to buy MyDVD 9. So I bought one. It is not working at all in my computer. I contacted Roxio support on their website, the Live Chat doesn't work, I could only open a ticket, leave a message. It takes 24 hours or longer to get the response. But I tried two solutions, they are not working. I opened the third ticket but didn't get any response in 10 days. I decided to return back to Amazon.

I can't provide a thorough review of this product, because the first feature I tried to use didn't work. I have little patience for defective software these days, so after my first couple of attempts I gave up trying to use this product. I purchased the product so that I could edit video on a Windows 2000 workstation with Service Pack 4. This configuration is allegedly supported. The first thing I tried to do was import a home video from a DVD. A capability allegedly provided by this product. Unfortunately, the application entitled Roxio Media Importer doesn't see the DVD drives on my computer. interVideo WinDVD Creator had no problem importing from the DVD nor did the software that came with my video camera. I tried to find out if Roxio's technical support could help, but the support section of their website doesn't seem to think this product exists. The support section of their website includes an interesting feature called Ask RoxAnn. RoxAnn doesn't know about this product either and also thinks that your browser doesn't support session cookies. So she can't help. She does tell you how to configure your browser to support cookies, but unfortunately I was already using the recommended settings so at that point I decided there was nothing left to do except let other consumers know about my experience. Your results might be different.
