Roxio Easy Media Creator
Notes
 | Roxio vs DLA - This will allow Roxio to handle the drive.
 | Error:
Sonic DLA
Your version of DLA can read files on this disc but you will not be able
to edit or add to them. |
| Solution:
Open Window Explorer.
Right Click on the Drive Letter.
(If you see "User with DLA" then continue below)
Properties, DLA,
Uncheck "Enable DLA on your drives".
Uncheck "Use with DLA" |
|
| Ejecting a drive - use Roxio's menu option. |
| Creating mpg files
| mpg - to create a .mpg that will play in Windows Media Player (and
other players) with out purchasing a plugin (codec program) choose the
following options:
 | Launch Video Wave 7 (Edit Video),
| 0pen/Create a production, File, Output As |
| |
|
| Launch Video Wave 9 (Edit Video) -
(Warning: This version hangs all the time!!!)
| 0pen/Create a production, File, Output As |
| Click on the tab: Video File |
| Purpose: All |
| Check: NTSC |
| Video File Quality - I'll tested the following:
| WMP 11
| .mpg - MPEG-2 for DVD, better quality (*I like this one) |
| .wmv - Windows Media Video 9 VBR 640x480 (Good
video and small file size.) |
| .mpg - MPEG-1 for Video CD |
| .mpg - MPEG-2 for DVD, normal quality |
| .mpg - MPEG-2 for SVCD (*Ok to use) |
| .mpg - Generic MPEG-1 Normal Quality |
| .mpg - Generic MPEG-2 Good Quality (*Ok to
use) |
| .avi - DivX Better Quality |
| .avi - DV Format AVI |
|
| QuickTime
| .3GP - 3GPP MPEG4/AMR 176x144 15fps (bitrate: video
80kbs, audio 122kbs) |
| .mp4 - IPOD - you can copy this file to your IPOD! (only
one I know off created by Roxio v9) |
| .mp4 - AVC smaller size (can't use on IPOD) |
| .mp4 - AVC Good quality (can't use on IPOD) |
|
| Doesn't work with WMP v11 unless you purchase a codec plugin
| MPEG-2 for DVD, best quality (no Audio) |
|

Roxio Versions
|
Version 9 Dislikes - every time I try to do something with
this version I find something I don't like so I decided to place a reminder
to my self at this web site. Now I'm leery about any new versions so I
haven't tried v10.
|
Create Audio CDs - about 0.5 seconds is cut off of the
last song on the list. |
|
Ripping mp3s from a CD - You no longer have the option of:
<artist> - <song title> |
|
Label Creator - you can't copy and paste a text box.
Maybe this is if you open up an older version (.jwl). |
|
.jwl files - these files were created by version 7.
You can open the files, make changes to them, think you saved the
changes and when you load the file backup your changes are not there -
wasted time!!! |

MyDVD (version 9) part of Roxio's Easy Media Creator v9
|
After installing EMCv9 I get the following error when I use Windows Media Player (WMP)
(v10.00.00.4036 or v11.0.5721.5145) to try and play the DVD. This occurs with any DVD
(purchased or created). I used to play DVDs fine (even ones
created with EMCv7) w/WMP. My work around is to play DVDs with Roxio's, My Media, Media Experience to play
the DVDs with no problems.
Error: Windows Media Player cannot display subtitles or highlights
in DVD menus. Reinstall the DVD encoder or contact the DVD drive
manufacturer to obtain an updated decoder. |
|
MyDVD v9 - I get this error, consistently during the
Menu encoding step, when burning some large DVD projects.
Sometimes MyDVD will be "not responding" in the Task Manager
(application is hung) or sometimes eventually you may get this error if
you wait long enough.
Error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Roxio\VideoUI9\VideoWave9.exe
R6025 - pure virtual function call. |
