Overall, we still prefer Nero for its smoother interface and lower price, but if you're looking for one app that can edit video, then burn it, Instant CD/DVD offers a one-stop option. Like Roxio, Instant CD/DVD feels like a collection of separate tools yoked together without enough integration, but it handled every task we could throw at it and performed well in all our tests. It also includes a full video-importing and -editing tool that's much more sophisticated than what Nero or competing suite Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6.0 offers. This jack-of-all-trades burning utility can burn and copy a wide variety of disc types, as can others in the field-such as Nero Burning ROM, our Editors' Choice.

If I should keep Nero as in question 2 above, can I get rid of those as well.Everyone's getting into the digital-media suite game lately, from Apple to Roxio. I haven't activated it yet but if I pursue the Pinnacle route should I get rid of it.ĩ - Lastly I also had Roxio DLA and Record Now - Audio, Copy, Data. Again what is it and do I need it?Ĩ - I have Roxio My DVD LE which was bundled with my PC. If so can I simply remove Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder as it appears as a separate software in Add/Remove Programs.ģ - I also have Pinnacle Media Server what is it and do I need it? Again it appears as a separate software in Add/Remove Programs.Ĥ - I also have the bonus disc installed again what is it and do I need it? Again it appears as a separate software in Add/Remove Programs.ĥ - I also have Pinnacle Hollywood FX 6.0 installed again what is it and do I need it? Again it appears as a separate software in Add/Remove Programs.Ħ - I also have ProDAD Heroglyph 2.5 installed again what is it and do I need it? Again it appears as a separate software in Add/Remove Programs.ħ - Also it installed links to Adorage Online. The question is should I install 10.7? (or even 10.8 but I read that if you are on XP better to stick at 10.7)?Ģ - I already have Nero 6 is it better to burn DVD with this rather than built in Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder. I have some questions I hope you can help my with:ġ - I have read that the software is very buggy so I also downloaded the 10.7patch but as yet I have never installed it because I read that it worked for some but not others. My PC is Intel dual Core 2.4 GHz, 2 Gig ram with GeForce 7900GS graphics card, OS is XP Pro with SP2. However, with your help I am feeling brave enough at the moment for another another go. I bought Pinnacle Studio 10 plus a while back but have been to reticent to get properly stuck in.
