1. Love this printmaster cd. I have purchased several of the printmaster cds and have loved them all. With each new printmaster, your printmaster program is updated to the newest version. This software makes it easy to print letters, brochures, newsletters, sale signs, graphics for scrapbooking, craft projects, calendar pages and many applications. They are very user friendly and easy to learn, just through playing with the program.

It is easy to use an the results are amazing. The quality is absolutely excellent. Movie makers couldn't have better software to do their job. I highly recommend it to all!!!!

1. Great product to have if you have Windows Vista. The burning software works faster and better than the Vista Utility.



2. I'm glad I got this garbage for free from my workplace with a Not For Resale sample instead of spending money on it. WOW.
   
   All I want to do is burn nice CD's and DVD's and make Lightscribe labels on them. Lightscribe looked like such a cool feature. That's it. Not complicated, right? I used to use an older version of Nero that worked really well (back with version 3, I think) so I tried the latest version. Big mistake.
   
   First, it installed over a DOZEN programs automatically. I actually wanted three of them and the others were either worthless, buggy, or bloated trash of the worst ilk. Think Microsoft Office level bloat, plus Quicktime/RealPlayer style viral invasiveness. It's a truly asinine, take-over-your-system, buggy, fat blob of really bad software. It's set to make itself the default program for darn near everything. Did you have iTunes for your music? Not anymore. Did you like Windows Media Player to play your videos? Not anymore. Nero will take them all over, and install a search bot to slow down your system constantly plus seven programs that practically no one will ever use. Do you need to edit .wav files on a regular basis? Me neither, so please don't install a wav editor program, Nero. I don't want it. I didn't ask for it, and you didn't even ask me if I wanted it. Yes, it's true that these settings are modifiable but I am sick and tired of presumptive companies trying to insinuate themselves all over my computer without asking. It's even worse when their product is garbage.
   
   So before I knew it, I had a huge pile of unwanted programs, with file types all messed up and another dumb search box on my tool bar. Man, what a bad omen.
   
   Ever the optimist, I figured "well, if it works well, I'll just uninstall what I don't want and everything will be fine."
   
   Sure, theoretically. Except that uninstallation is a pain, updates are unbelievably slow and error-prone, and the software is wickedly hard to use.
   
   Nero 7 wasn't Vista compatible when I installed it, so I had to go download the update. Fair enough, since Vista is pretty new and I got the disc a few months ago. Then I found that the ONLY way to update the software is to download the whole suite of bloated programs in FULL! It's 337 MB, for God's Sake! I have a cable internet connection and it still took literally HOURS to get the update. Want to burn a quick CD before taking off on that drive to dad's house? Forget it!
   
   So the next day, I finally had the update downloaded. I ran it, and it informed me that it had to completely uninstall the just-installed software in order to update. Wow. So I clicked "continue," and then when my system rebooted, guess what? A Nero error message popped up (in English, thankfully - more on that later) saying that since Nero wasn't installed on my computer, I couldn't run the update program. Am I taking crazy pills? Are you serious? I didn't know what to do so I re-installed everything from the disc and tried again. For whatever reason, it worked the second time.
   
   Next up, labeling a disc (thankfully, Nero Burning ROM did burn a CD nicely). Figuring out how to make a simple Lightscribe label was just mind-blowing. The default templates make no sense whatsoever. Just getting a readable label out of my burner wasted two entire afternoons and a half dozen blank discs. I know I'm not Bill Gates, but I built my computer and installed my software myself so I'm not a complete rube. Yet I'm still discovering new ways that Nero messes up labels. The default audio disc template gives you a half inch band of usable space around the middle of the disc. You can put more text on the screen, but it won't print, so you're wasting your time. Oh, and the standard font? It's completely unreadable on a Lightscribe disc. Literally - when you click on the disc surface to type some words, the default text settings will result in the final disc being unreadable. God help you if you'd like a track listing printed on the disc. Half the fonts don't line up properly for some reason. You can see that they don't line up when you hit the "print preview" button and your text is all cut up, but before that step, it shows them wrong on the main screen. Why is the standard font unreadable? Why is the default template limited to a tiny strip of text, with no easy way to change it? Seriously, it's kind of ridiculous. Lay off the Oktoberfest celebrations until *after* your software is done, OK Hans?
   
   I bring up the German thing because I kept getting error messages in German. Some were English, some not. My computer is set for American English and there's no reason Nero should spout German errors at me, but it did. I have nothing against the German language, but I can't read it. Is it unreasonable to ask for messages in a language I can read?
   
   I know this review is colored by my frustration with this software, so I apologize. My internal unhappiness meter went off the chart after the sixth wasted Lightscribe disc.
   What Nero project manager saw this setup, with its 14 separate modules, clumsy interface, horrible update process, and bug-filled operation and said "THIS is the program of the future! Let's release it at once!"
   
   In conclusion, "Nero = yuck."



3. As the title says the Burning Rom program is why I purchased this suite when I already had a "Lite" version of Nero Express. I have used the full version back when it was version 6 and really like the dual directory drag and drop feature. It makes backups of hundreds of digital images very quick and easy.
   
   The install on this utility suite is painfully slow. You will most likely think the system locked up but be patient, very patient and the program will have the entire suite of utilities installed. The program says it will take several minutes but it was almost 40 minutes before it was done.
   
   The package I received is out of date and there is a 7.10.?.? update available for download. You will need a broadband connection since it is packaged as one large 300mb download. Just minutes if you have broadband but over 20 hours if you use a modem like I do.
   
   Customer Service did good and answered my query in about a day regarding the download. The large file is all that is available for Nero 7 Ultra. It was possible to reduce the 300mb to around 220mb using the built-in update program but I can not stay connected for over 20 hours to download a file. They should be a bit more reasonable about that. A lot of folks only have 56k modems to the internet. The slow lane on the super highway I'm afraid.
   
   How difficult is it for them to break it up into several compressed files for downloading???
   
   In closing I will say that the program suite is worth the money but there are issues that you as the consumer should be aware of. I avoided Nero 8 because of the reviews here. So far I am pleased to report I have no bugs with the software as it is installed. The simple media player is actually quite good and better than the two utilities I have from other software.
   
   Good Luck and remember the install is slowwwww!



4. I purchased nero 8. It doesn't install properly and they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Over two weeks to get a response to your tech question, or you get to pay $1.29 per minute. I called their regular customer service line and waited on hold until they closed.



5. I've owned Version 7 Ultra for more than a year. Just reinstalled to my new computer and Nero gives me "Patent Activation Failure" (their term for installing the software on more than one computer). Many emails to Nero customer service have gone without reply. Guess once they have your money, that's all that matters. I suggest you try Roxio first.

1. Simplest to use. Easy to get started. Always takes a bit of work with an application--so this is important.
   
   Don't let the low price put you off.

5 comments about muvee autoProducer 6.

1. I don't normally write reviews but this product is HORRIBLE. The sound doesn't match up with the video and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of customer service. Don't waste your money.



2. I write pretty regularly for Smart Computing magazine, so I know good software when I see it, and muvee autoProducer 6 is outstanding software. When I first saw it at Comdex in 2002, I liked it so much I begged to try it out and have been using it ever since.
   
   I'm writing this review because I can't believe that it's not getting rave reviews here! Apparently the only people who are writing reviews are the 2 out of thousands who had trouble with it (there's actually a bug in an earlier version of Quicktime that causes installation problems with muvee) or couldn't understand it (that's hard to believe - he must be a competitor). Don't make their mistake and expect it to work like a video editor - although it does what might be called video editing, it's in a class and category all by itself. They call it autoProducer for a reason - it quickly, easily, and automatically synchs your photos and video to your music. Then, you can personalize and tweak it to your hearts content until you get great effects and timings.
   
   So don't shy away from this product because of the two comments posted here. Instead, download and try the trial version at muvee's web site (it's easy to guess their URL). You're more than likely to be blown away.
   
   Also, check out all of the rave reviews it gets from pros and writers and everyday people on their web site.



3. I find Muvee Autoproducer to be a very useful, and very unique tool for creating really great videos in a short period of time. I've had at least five friends buy Muvee after seeing the videos I have made, and how easy it is to make them. Once I showed one to someone and he said "Now why can't my production company create cool stuff like that!"
   
   I have quite a few posted on Google Video. I have lots of other tools, but I probably use Muvee for 80% of my video editing.

   With Muvee, you almost always get a pretty good video by simply importing your video files and providing some music. Time to a decent video: 5 minutes! With a little bit of tweaking, you can get a really great video easily. And the tweaking is not of the "cut here, insert this" variety, but you say "use this clip" or "choose more video like this". You pick the video you like, and Muvee does the layout with hints you provide. It's really fun and you can tweak as much or as little as you want.
   
   I use Muvee 6.0 on Windows XP and HAVE NOT had technical issues (like one other reviewer claims); I really enjoy some of the new features, in particular, tuning theme parameters.
   
   Muvee is such a great piece of software, I can recommend it without reservation for anyone wanting to make a video commemorating an event or making a music video. Other programs attempt to copy some of Muvee's functionality as an "add-on" feature, but I have not seen these produce results anywhere nearly as good as Muvee, and the manipulation, tweaking, and editing tools don't work nearly as well.
   
   Muvee does a great job with photos as well as videos. You can use either media, or mix and match.
   
   I've given Muvee as a gift to friends and family, and will continue to anytime someone says "here, watch my home video" and it's really boring. With Muvee, anyone can make really great, fun videos with minimum effort.



4. I have really enjoyed this product - particularly because the ramp up time to learn it is approximately 5 minutes - to see your first movie took about 10. I am going to buying this for my teenage daughter because it does have an extreemly simple interface - however, if you want to dig in and get more complex it has another layer of complexity that you can delve into.
   
   Another nice feature is the expansions shows you can download - these are pictures transition groups. For example, one that comes with is a sepia effect that makes your pictures look like an old movie complete with static lines. There are several that are good for wedding DVD's etc too. My only complaint in this arena is that they are a bit pricey - between 12 - 20 bucks for one 'show'.
   
   I am deployed overseas and using Muvee to send pictures home has become a fun project and my mom (not too technical) can just pop the DVD's into here DVD player and enjoy the pictures easily. Also the still pictures take on life with the transitions making the ocean even appear to be moving. Much more visual appeal.
   
   So - if you're looking for something super easy this is a great place to start. Also, if you're feeling adventurous you can delve into the some of the tweaking tools. I highly recommend it - even for a novice user - or one of your myspace/youtube kids.
   
   Cheers



5. Products like this are why piracy is rampant. Here is a product that is sold and flat out doesn't work for a lot of people. I used an older version and loved it. (Version 3.) Since version 4, on multiple systems, it refuses to work correctly, crashing at various stages.
   
   When it DOES work, it's a fantastic program. Just be aware you really are taking a gamble that it'll work okay for you.
   
   Look on it as an exciting bet. You may get an awesome app. You may get a coaster.
