I am thinking about purchasing Roxio Creator 2009, but had one question. The ability to create HD video on standard dvds for playback on a PS3/Blu-Ray player --- is that included in the retail version? Or do you still have to buy the Blu-Ray plug-in even though you're not writing to a Blu-Ray disc?
Not sure I want to fork out another $30 for this and the documentation on the website is not very clear. I understand the need to purchase the plug-in if you are doing Blu-Ray burning on a Blu-Ray disc.

Creator 2009 will do AVCHD discs that are burned to a standard DVD using a standard burner. No need for the add-ons.

Look at the sales going on. Amazon had a sale yesterday for the ultimate (includes several audio applications, a back up application and the Blu Ray). With the rebate, the cost was only about $50

Thanks. Wish I had caught that sale. Fry's has the standard version for $29.99 after rebates so I might go that route. Any other current deals that you're aware of?

$30 is pretty cheap. For that price you may want to look at the more complete version or at the capture device.
