Enhance and Preserve Your Music
In addition to letting you burn up to 50 hours of music on DVDs, Creator 8.0 lets you automatically add title, artist and genre tags to audio tracks -- even if your music has been captured from LP, tape or Internet radio. Converting your music from LPs and tapes into MP3 or WMA format takes three easy steps, and you can even erase those annoying "pops" that old analog recordings were (in)famous for. By giving you the tools to easily adjust the volume, fade-in/fade out and stereo pan of any point in a track, Creator 8.0 gives you what it takes to make great, personalized audio compilations from just about any source you can think of.

Edit and Manage Digital Photos and Video
An extremely user-friendly central navigation interface seamlessly integrates all the functionality of Creator 8.0 and puts the features you need right at your fingertips. For starters, Creator 8.0 has over 340 special effects, 80 photo content projects, 25 pre-designed labels, and 20 premium menu styles to choose from in order to personalize your digital photo projects. Whether you want to create high-quality multi-image photo slide shows in HD or on DVD, automatically organize thousands of your photos and create custom views to quickly find your favorite images, or simply organize your photos by date or subject, Creator 8.0 will makes it easier than you can imagine.

If TiVo is your thing, Creator 8.0 will help you to burn your TiVo-recorded shows directly to DVD so you can view them anywhere. For digital video enthusiasts, the software can capture, import and edit High Definition (HD) video files, and in turn, burn the edited files to DivX HD discs to watch on high definition television. You can also edit video like a pro with the Timeline feature, which supports multiple tracks, in-place editing and alignment control, and the SmartScan feature lets you preview and only capture the scenes you want from a digital camcorder.

DVD Burning and Compilations
Creating compilations of DVD-Video, DivX and WMV files is a snap with Creator 8.0. You can import many different types of video files, from DivX to HD, edit them with effects and audio, and easily burn to CD or DVD. Creator 8.0 gives you full creative control over the DVDs menu options, including buttons, menus, backgrounds, audio and text. A unique "plug and burn" feature can even take footage from a DVD recorder directly to a DVD with a single click.

While all these features add up to professional-quality DVDs that you can make for your own fun and enjoyment, they can also help you to protect all the data on your computer. By scheduling full, partial and unattended backups, you can completely recover your data and applications in case of a crash, system failure, virus or other disaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars DivX feature a big plus, November 13, 2005

By	Morty - See all my reviews

The DivX feature has been a big improvement. There are movies and video clips which I downloaded and now can burn them onto an DVD. Then I can play the newly created DVd onto my DVD player and watch on my tv. This will be really helpful when more studios make programs and movies available through the internet. I then combined several older DVDs onto one DVD with Creators new feature. I've also been doing this on my laptop which is a few years old. I thought I needed to upgrade my pc but so far the program has been working well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tivo option does work, December 2, 2005

By	Floyd Wright (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

One reviewer mentioned that he couldn't find the Tivo function. I found the process to be straight forward. You need a Tivo series 2 dvr to download files onto your pc. You have to download the software from the Tivo site first. The Roxio program will then recognize the file type and you can transfer them onto a dvd. I don't want my hard drive filled with all these files so I'm archiving them onto disks. I researched this feature and found that the disk authoring software needs a license from Tivo to handle the files so not every program supports Tivo file format. Hopefully this clears up any problems people have been experiencing

5.0 out of 5 stars photo slide show advancements, November 21, 2005

By	korevel (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

I bought this program so that I could burn dvds from my pc which play on my dvd player. However I have found myself using the photslide creator a lot. The templates have a lot of features built in so its easy to make an imressive looking show. There are a lot of transitions, plus scanning and panning. The wizards make it fast and easy to create the show.
I used to use Powerpoint to make the photo presentations, but now I can use this program.
