DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EMC9, EMC9 DELUXE & CREATOR 9 SUITE?

[ronalds173]

This may seem dumb, but can anyone tell me what, if any, difference there is between EMC 9, EMC 9 Deluxe and CREATOR 9 SUITE? I ask because I seem to have many of the features listed in the EMC 9 DELUXE threads. Also, (and more importantly), I periodically find a message to download updates either for MYDVD or BACKUP MYPC, which I never do at the time they appear. But, when I go back to the download updates site there is never any updates. It seems to me that earlier this year, when this first started happening to me, I found other posts about people downloading MYDVD updates that were apparently meant for a different program, etc.

It's quite easy to compare the features of EMC 9 and EMC 9 Deluxe by going to the main Roxio website and looking at the comparison "chart".

 

I have never heard of Creator 9 Suite. It must be some OEM stripped down version. If so, it doesn't figure into the mix.

The basic difference between 9 Suite and Deluxe is the inclusion of the DVC90 capture device and a couple of minor apps.As far as I know there are no updates to V9 as of yet.There has been an update for BUMP for V9.1 that is there because originally it's not installed under Vista.The update is to give it to people that wanted it.

Thanks for both replys but, I don't know what "BUMP" stands for and, CREATOR SUITE 9 is being advertised on Roxio's website. In fact, I keep getting emails from Roxio to upgrade. What I find really confusing about it is I have EMC 9 already. Additionally, I just watched a brief video at Roxio's website about CREATOR SUITE 9 and realized that this is exactly what I have. So, I guess I am less confused about that than I am about why I keep periodically getting notices of updates for programs in EMC 9 ver. 9.1 when I have EMC 9 ver. 9.0.088 (or does that round up to 9.1???)

BUMP = Back Up My PC - we're lazy typists here

 

You have 9.0 and the patch that is (over)due will bring that to 9.1

CREATOR SUITE 9 is being advertised on Roxio's website.

If you take a second look at the Roxio website, you will see in smaller letters EASY MEDIA Creator 9 Suite. Also know as EMC 9 for short. Then there is EMC 9 Suite Deluxe.

 

The main applications in EMC 9 and EMC 9 Deluxe are exactly the same. The Deluxe version includes the Pinnacle capture device plus a few more apps like Sound Soap SE.

 

BackUp MyPC was included with EMC 9, but it wasn't certified for Vista in time to be released with 9.1. It is now being offered as a download for those that would like to use it on Vista or update the one you have on XP.
