C2009 Vs Emc9

[mgshn]

Anybody care to post a comparison (functionality, performance, reliability) between Creator 2009 and EMC 9? I like to keep current where appropriate but also want to avoid spending $80* and getting more problems than benefits.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bob

 

* I realize Roxio offers a 30-day money back guarantee and that provides an opportunity to test drive the new software. However, before I go down that route I thought it useful to learn from the experiences of others.

if you work with any high definition videos, you would want to have Creator 2009. Otherwise, you can continue using EMC 9 if it does everything you want.

EMC 9 Suite does support burning of data and video to Blu-Ray disc. Supported recordable formats are: BD-R/RE and BD DL.

 

Roxio is always adding and removing features from the product set with each new version. Major bug fixes are also added to each new version.

 

If you are serious about C2009, then try the 30 day money back trial. Both products can be installed on the same PC so then you can see the differences.

Dave - it supports DATA only - not video to Blu-Ray

That doesn't seem like what my retail box indicates. It states "data and video".

Video also means video as data files.

I don't even know there were Blue-Ray devices available when EMC 9 came out.

"Create Blu-Ray BDAV video discs with hours of high definition video" per the package.

 

"Video disc formats: ..........BDAV"

Yes, my EMC 9 has the BDAV plugin - not that I have a drive to do it with.
