Not to sure if Roxio has a trial.....

Answer 2

Both are good problems. Nero has more features but is harder to use. Roxio has less features but is easier to use. PC World Magazine has an excellent article comparing the 2 programs.

"First Look: Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 and Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced" -- written by Jon L. Jacobi (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127289-c,backuputilities/article.html)

"...Which to Choose?
After using both suites (build 9.0.088 of Roxio's Easy Media Creator, and build 7.5.1.1 of Nero Ultra Edition Enhanced), I found that each still has its share of issues. On my 2.4-GHz Athlon 64 X2 4600+ test system, Roxio's VideoWave component was sluggish: It hogged memory and pegged CPU usage at 99 percent. Nero has its glitches, too: Nero Burning ROM hasn't fully erased rewritable CDs for the last few versions now, and menu language quirks abound.

For new users, Roxio's more intuitive modules and no-hassle, professional-looking output makes it the more appealing package for users who want professional-looking results with minimal effort. Fans of version 8 might want to hold off on upgrading, though: Only a few of the new features--such as Blu-ray and AVC support, automatic video enhancement, and mobile phone export--offer significant new core functionality. The rebate off the $100 retail price is $30, making Media Creator 8 another in a series of pricey upgrades, and you may not get much value for your dollar unless you need some of the new features today.

Nero remains less intuitive and requires more creative effort to generate projects, but the software is just as capable as Roxio's, and it offers some features (TV recording, multichannel audio editing) that Roxio does not. And current users can upgrade to Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced for free--a typical arrangement with Nero software. New Nero 7 users must pay $100 in stores or $80 for a download."

Answer 3

Not exactly an exact answer but I prefer Nero also. Plus I got nero with all my disc drives when I purchase them so that helps. Never did any good with Roxio.

Answer 4

I've used both and they are both good, I personally prefer Nero however. Try them both and see which one you prefer.

The 2 programs are both extremely user friendly.
