Summary: Great Product
Comment: I love this product. I hated previous Roxio products (trust me they were terrible- Version 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10) except Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 Platinum Edition which was great with Windows XP if installed without Drag to Disk packet writing software. Roxio 2009 (NO Drag to Disk utility) works perfectly with my sony VGN-SZ780 with vista ultimate. Before you install please completely remove any old versions. I like it better than Nero 9 which installs InCD packet writing software if you don't choose custom install.

Summary: Worst software ever purchased
Comment: Just tried to install software today, but NOT happening. Tried it on 2 different computers (1 which is brand spankin' new) and neither would take it. It gets to a point that it decides to quit installing then rolls back (uninstalling itself). Discussions on the web indicate same or similar results with no apparent fixes (but does list some attempts to make a fix). Also, there's not a "Customize" option like most other software. This would allow for only installing certain pieces and maybe narrow down the problems.
I Highly Recommend NOT Purchasing this WORTHLESS software!!! What a waste of time and money.

Summary: Adaptor, BD plugin, SoundSoap extras
Comment: Prices seem to be going down all around so this Ultimate pack was very close to getting just an adaptor. Even though I have version 10 the new 2009 version didn't seem to have enough changes for me, but the Ultimate version has a lot more.
The big feature is the video adaptor which converts tapes. I guess there are users young enough that don't have a library of tapes, but I needed some solution. Simple process-- plugin and play, convert to video. It's not a miracle and can't overcome the tape playing time. You can though let it run without watching it. Some videos I keep in its original form, others I've processed with the given programs.
The BD plugin is for burning real BD disks. The program will also make BD disks from regular disks and regular drives, an important distinction. The quality seems to be the same but real BD is much higher in content capacity. Aside from this specialized format there's the normal dvd-rw, dvd-vcr, dual layer.
SoundSoap is an in-depth program to fix sound. Version 10 had a simple sound fixer but SoundSoap has much more capabilities. It restores sound and can remove background noise. Smartsound rounds out the extras and is a comprehensive music creator program.
I think many people have done a good job explaining the standard programs in the suite. Those are very good and I think the extra programs are extremely useful.

Summary: Even Better features and performance
Comment: My first try with Roxio easy media was version 9. Now I have the Ultimate Version with a video adaptor. At first glance 2009 doesn't look very different than 9 but there are now a bunch of new things that make it a different enough program.
Video with Videowave and cinemagic: each program has a few more options from 9. The biggest change I found was the soundtrack. It is now much easier to do. It also edits HD video. None too soon considering tv broadcast changes.
Music: Biggest changes here. It makes batch formatting changes and rips disks from several drives at once. The automix is more elaborate.
Photo: It makes autofixes. If I don't like the results I can use the manual setting changes. More album and slideshow formats.
Gadgets: This is new and makes the program a step above others. I can take any media file and convert it to my phone and ipod. It works the other way by sending media to the pc from the gadgets.
Disk burning: Burning is relatively the same but complementary tools are better. It catalogs the disk contents, something I felt was needed in 9. It burnsHD and blueray disks on regular disks. This version also has a BD plugin to use real BD disks and writers.
The adaptor is not much different from others except there's a lot more programs to support the new digital video.

Summary: Worst Software
Comment: I've come across some awful and expensive software (like Cakewalk 6~9), but this one takes the cake. It's an intrusive, clunky, resource hog which wouldn't work correctly if the hand of god glided over it.
Right now, it's 12:41AM and I've been trying for the past 8 hours to get MyDVD (Part of this Roxio package) to make a DVD of a vacation I recently took. I'm an IT professional, and I was absolutely baffled on GUI on these interfaces. The only consistency here is that every interface has it's own flavor of 'clunk' to it.
INTERFACE BUGS...
For instance, I'm trying to setup the menu and sub-menus; And, while I'm working it's actually flaking out and moving the graphical elements all over the page. I've had to work on the same menu now 20 times. Not to mention, you must click on the sub-menu icon to navigate to it. But when you attempt to click on it, it moves out of position in the page. Which means if you don't like the new position...too bad...because you're going to have to move the sub-menu graphic back to your original strategic location.
Some of the setup menu's for the objects in MyDVD don't work, or have bugs. For instance, there's a color palette fill in one of the sub-menu's which doesn't work.
I can go on and on about all the interface bugs throughout Roxio 2009, but I'm going to spare that chapter and go to the next.
RESOURCE HOG AND CUMBERSOME...
This software is 2gigs+ out of the box. Which means when you install it, you'll probably be left with 2kb of hard drive space left. They could have saved SOME real space had they used the DIALOG boxes that comes with Windows XP & Vista. But no, Roxio had to be different and create new, cumbersome, confusing, over elaborate dialog boxes. This obviously means that whatever you're doing in the new dialog boxes will take 3 times longer. My experience has been that they're clunky, taking sometimes 5~10 seconds to perform a refresh or task in the Roxio dialogs.
UPON INSTALLATION...
Roxio must have designed this software with the idea that you'll never need to have or install other software. Because the installation package loads up many large programs, WHICH MANY after installation LOAD WITH WINDOWS. I'm baffled, as I look at the list of all the new Roxio related programs in Windows Task Manager. Not to mention, ZoneAlarm is prompting me every 10 seconds with some resource it's trying to mess with...or the FACT THAT IT'S TRYING TO ACCESS THE INTERNET constantly. Here's a another snare in the Roxio sucker net...it would be nice if I could choose the Roxio programs I WANT TO INSTALL, versus Roxio INSTALLING EVERYTHING ON MY COMPUTER!!
As you can see in my review... I'm furious. I'm going to make a recommendation here... DON'T BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!! Treat the positive ratings with a grain of salt...because they're probably from the Roxio Sales and Programming staff.
I bought Roxio 2009 Ultimate, but I figured I'd tell you guys who wanted to spend $49 instead of $99.
DON'T BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!!
