Recent Projects: shows thumbnails and lists your recent projects The process of creating and editing projects works smoothly and the final project results are very satisfying. I had no problems creating VCDs or DVDs. I recommend this product to all.

Delivers tremendous functionality and value for the price. Easy to learn and use product. Can produce great video and slideshow projects and burn to disc.

I'm still very much from the paper generation and would have appreciated a printed manual. The PDF user manuals/guides were good, but I ended up printing some of them out.

I tried Nero at a friend's house and it was clunkier to use, didn't have the tight integration and features as EMC7, plus it locked up on me a few times?

Very good. They provide many materials to make you self sufficient, such as how-to video tutorials, and PDF product user manuals/guides. The Roxio web site has a good knowledgebase that helps you find answers, and if you are still needing help, I found their tech support email response pretty good, as they sent answers to my questions usually in 1-2 days.
