Upgrade to Easy Media Creator 7?
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2004 2:13 pm
I just got a Plextor PX-708A DVD burner. It came bundled with:
-Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator 6
-PhotoSuite 5 SE
-Roxio DVDMax Player
-Dantz Retrospect backup and restore solution
I'm brand new at all of this but, initially, I want to transfer some analog VHS and 8mm tapes to DVD and then go from there (not sure where but I'd like to explore about everything the Plextor and the software will let me do). Anyway, I've read some good reviews about EMC 7 and Roxio has a deal going with Plextor where I can upgrade to EMC 7 for $69.95 for the download version or ~$75 for the boxed version.
1. What are the differences between what came bundled with the Plextor and EMC 7 (I honestly don't know) and is it worth upgrading?
2. Is there a better suite of software made by someone else?
Thanks
