"Easy Media Creator 10 can be anything but easy!"

Pros:
Full of features and when working easy and fun to use.

Cons:
Too unstable in relation to other software you might run. The whole program or cinePlayer alone can easily stop working leaving you to clean install, as per the instructions provided by Roxio.
EMC 10 is too unstable, other software quickly interupts the program and registry settings leaving one to clean install over and over again. Registry editors can create problems to the program, I have found that Norton's WinDoctor if run on auto repair all will halt EMC 10 in it's tracks. Also my installation places the content folder at "C:\Program Files\Roxio\PhotoSuite 10\Content", however photo projects looks for it in the "C:\BinD\Content", folders I had to create and then move the contents to from its installed location. The whole installation and stability thing is a big problem and I suggest that people avoid this program if they are not comfortable with the extra time and effort required.

A powerful and capable suite with some excellent features, although it isn’t the easiest to use, nor the cheapest around.
