Working with Roxio Creator could easily become an expensive business.
Opt for the Standard version of the program and you'll need to pay an extra £15 to create Blu-ray discs, while Standard and Pro users must also pay £25 for the plug-in to play back Blu-ray content.
There's also a video capture USB cable costing £35 for capturing footage from older hardware such as VHS. The costs soon mount up, though, and a more specialist video-editing tool may suit many better.
In other respects, though, this is a well-rounded package that will satisfy the needs of most users without breaking the bank. The Creator tag is indicative of the fact that its focus is creativity – be it with photos, video or music.
There are certainly cheaper options out there – not least in Windows 7 – as well as more advanced video editing options, but this suite provides a wide range of tools, making it a worthwhile purchase for anyone who wants more from their burner.

1. Hi...Probably not the place to mention this but.....does anyone know a valid contact for Roxio? I've tried all their recommended services and failed to get an answer to the following......I bought their product (2010) after reading Techradar's comment (download and rescue disc)..... initially downloaded same....sections of download that are OK..."Lightzone and Sonicfire".....Roxio 2010 fails to import after about 30secs...seems to have a problem around "Direct X" un-install re-install.Yet to find "Soundsoap"...Received 2 discs from Roxio....the one with 2010 on it fails in an identical way to the downloaded file........Kind Regards Punjetas
