I used to use Nero burning rom 6; not to be confused with the suite of programs, but thought from then onwards it started getting fat cdburnerxp starts up in like 1-2 secs imgburn is practically instant. My sister swears by roxio albeit an older version, so its really whatever you find best for you. Imgburn is an acquired taste but if you read the guides its a powerful little program.
You all knock Nero but I found it to be the best at all my projects I do!! though the versions after Nero 7.5 Are not my better choices as I tried them all. I use Nero 7.5 right today as it it what I know and is the best at many of the projects I do do here!! Just wanted to leave that note. Glad you found your fixes and do not to forget to give your accolades to whose answer helped you.
I had dell remote in the problematic pc and they were unhelpful, i cannot believe they could not fix the issues. i called roxio and they were like you have to go through dell since it was bundled with dell systems.
Sorry roxio, is just plain crap in my opinion, I had bought the vhs to dvd converter, it plainly did not work as it was unable to find a signal, I had went through the customer support which is almost non existent. No help provided here unfortunately just a opinion. Have you attempted customer support yet?
Early converts to digital camcorders likely have a pile of MiniDV tapes chronicling everything from weddings to birthday parties. MiniDV was state of the art from about 1995-2005, when high-definition cameras and AVCHD started taking over. But if you think since MiniDV is digital, the tapes will last forever, you'd be wrong.
First, you can only transfer these tapes to your computer if you still have a working MiniDV camera and a PC with an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port. Otherwise you'll have to pay big bucks to a specialized service bureau with DV equipment.
Second, very few devices support playback of the DV video format. Tapes can be played in the camera or in a MiniDV tape player, and AVI DV files can be played on your PC. You'll need to convert them for your tablet, streaming box, website, DVD player, and most other devices.
Finally, all tapes degrade with time, not just analog ones. Even if all you do is transfer the raw DV files (which are large, about 10GB per hour) to hard drive or Blu-ray data disc for archiving, you'll be in much better shape than leaving them on tape. You'll no longer need a working DV camera or FireWire-equipped PC.
With Roxio Creator 2012, you can transfer and convert your MiniDV tapes before they degrade or become obsolete. Creator imports direct from most MiniDV camcorders, lets you trim and split clips, and converts them for most playback devices, including DVD players, iPads, Android devices and YouTube. Here's how:
When importing from DV camcorders, you have two options. First, Creator's handy Plug & Burn utility imports and burns MiniDV tapes direct to DVDs or disc images. This option is great for archiving large numbers of tapes. (You can use the DVDs as video sources later for other projects.) You can import an entire tape at once, or a portion of it. Second, Roxio Media Import lets you import clips that you can save to your hard drive and use in any video project.
To import with Plug & Burn, choose it from the Video & Movies tab on the Roxio Home Screen. In the first screen, you choose DVD options, such as menu styles and disc title, and insert a blank disc. Next, connect your DV camcorder as directed by the manufacturer (typically via FireWire) and set it to playback (VCR) mode. In a few seconds, a camcorder icon will appear in the Content area.
Next, use the camera controls in the Plug & Burn window, or on your camcorder, to fast-forward or rewind to the point where you want to begin recording. Then click to Capture either a portion or the entire tape. You can also give the clip a name, and choose to include automatic scene breaks.
Plug & Burn is handy for quick DVD transfers, but for more flexibility, such as when you want to burn clips from multiple sources on one disc, or when you want to convert for other devices like tablets, streaming boxes or websites, use Roxio Media Import. To open the Media Import utility, choose Capture Video from the Video-Movies tab on the Creator 2012 Home screen. Next, connect your DV camcorder, and select it from the drop-down menu at top left. Also select whether you want to capture in AVI DV mode, or MPEG2. MPEG2 is the format used by DVDs; AVI DV mode is the native camera format, and optimal quality. For archival purposes, or if you want to convert to other formats like MPEG4, it's best to import in AVI DV mode. Blu-ray data discs can hold up to 50GB, or about 5 hours of native AVI DV files.
Use the camera controls in the window, or on your camcorder, to fast-forward or rewind to the point where you want to begin recording. You can set a fixed length for your capture, capture the entire tape, or use the controls to stop and start the recording in real time. You will see a preview of your capture in the window while it is recording to disk. You can also rename your clips as desired. Finished clips will appear on the right.
Once you've finished importing your clips, you can edit them with Creator's full-featured VideoWave application, where you can combine them with clips from other sources, add transitions, titles and special effects, and incorporate audio soundtracks. Learn more in our video tutorial on editing with VideoWave.
Finally, to view your DV clips on other devices, such as an iPad, open the Copy & Convert utility from the Video-Movies tab on the Creator 2012 Home screen. Here you can easily convert multiple clips at once to popular device formats. Learn how in our video tutorial. Soon you'll be enjoying your old DV movies on your iPad or Android device!
Thank you. After the firmware update, the copy went smoothly, but when trying to play the copied disk on the computer, windows media player froze each time I tried to play the DVD. The original DVD plays fine.
It's not a copyrighted disc. I created a program in Final Cut Pro; exported a .mov file; imported into DVD Studio Pro and created a DVD Project in DVD Studio Pro; and then burned to disc using Roxio Toast 11.
Then I used ImgBurn to copy the disc (rather than using Roxio to make other copies). After following your suggestion to update the firmware, ImgBurn worked in making the copies, but the disc would not playback in the computer. Actually, the first menu would appear (which has an animated background), but when you click "Play Movie", windows media player freezes.
I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 on my Windows 11 platform. The install fails to install a device driver PxHlpa64.sys. This is a SONIC/ROXIO DVD burner driver - I don't have this device, so how can I stop PSE10 from loading it during the install?
Go to your Windows\System32\Drivers and rename that pxhlpa64.sys to something else or delete it. To be safe do this in the C:\Program files (x86)\common files\sonic shared" directory and anywhre else you can find it as well. Your machine will now reboot just fine and photoshop elements 10 will run fine. That driver is not compatible with windows 11 but doesn't seem to do anything anyway. Appears to have something to do with DVD burning help...
Today, I shake off the surly bonds of current events and cover an event that happened in September when Sonic Solutions Inc. released a $99 Version 9 of its widely used graphics tool case, Roxio Easy Media Creator.
The people at Sonic call their product "a burning suite," which does not mean a bad real-estate deal but rather a program designed to record, or burn, stuff onto blank CDs and DVDs. The suite part comes in as a jewel box of subprograms that let ordinary consumers create acceptable photos, songs and movies.
The big news with 9, I suppose, is the beefed-up programs in the suite designed to let folks with iPods, Zunes, cell phones and hand-held gaming gear such as PSPs transfer proper music, movies and photos to their gadgets' small screens. Also added is a pretty neat set of features for cell-phone photos and video clips.
Over several years, I've seen a large number of folks benefit from various Roxio features. Most visible is the audio-recording component that handles recording music from collections of cassette tapes and vinyl LP records. A sound editor lets one further tweak recordings. This audio module even includes a feature that analyzes the sound and removes annoying hiss and rumble from cassettes and clicks from scratches in vinyl LPs.
The software comes up as a home page, which presents a menu to let users find the various subprograms that are in the suite. You also can find what you want to do by going to the Windows Start menu and selecting Programs and then highlighting the Roxio icon. This brings a set of drop-down menus so users can quickly call up their desired module.
At the most basic level, I have found the Record Now module for creating backups on CDs and DVDs rock solid and far better than the Windows XP and Vista burning modules. Roxio will copy CDs and DVDs, but like all major players, it doesn't work with seriously copy-protected Hollywood discs. You can always play these DVDs through your video capture card or camcorder and use the VideoWave module to record the movie and burn your own DVD.
Roxio perhaps pushes to the edge of piracy with a sublime "widget" that waits on the desktop. When clicked, it records any audio coming into the computer. This makes quick work of copying tunes broadcast by Web radio stations and other sites bursting with sound. This recording widget has a most welcome sound filter that removes any noise made by the computer's circuitry and fan and by static from broadcast radio.
