Tools:
There are also a number of other Tools available with this product. Here we will go through them.
Media Manager
Media Manager is a program that enables you to sort all of your pictures and related items into a Collection. This enables you to keep related things together.

This seems to work very well. Although I don't have massive amounts of media on my machine I found it very easy to sort them into different 'Collections" to sort them out from one another.
Capture
Capture is a program that enables you to capture a verity of things from different sources. Here as you can see you can take items from DVD, Scanners and even Audio samples.

Label Creator
The label creator is a great little program for creating labels for your CD's and cases. As you can see there are a number of different styles you can choose from. Inside this program there are then another set of options relating to layout and style.

This is a very complete but easy to use label creator. It is probably the best I have encountered in a long time and certainly the best I have found bundled with burning software. Many are missing components or just feel that it has been stuck on to add additional features to the program. Here this is not the case. Here you feel that someone sat down and thought about what the end user wanted and then delivered on that.
Sound Editor
The Sound Editor is a quite a complex but highly useful program. Here you can create your own tracks from a number of different sounds. You can even add more than one sound or track at a time to get a true mix going.

For me this was a little more than I really needed. However if your someone who is trying to put together a home made mix CD or even wanting to record your own music and put it on here then this should offer you enough options to get a professional made looking CD from it
CinePlayer
CinePlayer is Sonic's Media Player. It has all the normal functionality of any other player and works extremely well.

Help Centre & Tutorials
The Help centre in this program is very complete. A number of times when things weren't quite happening the way they should have been or if an option appeared to me missing a quick rummage in here gave all the answers that were required.

Disc And Device Utility
The Disc and Device Utility shows what your drive is capable of along with information about the current disc in the drive.

Roxio Retrieve
Roxio Retrieve lets you to retrieve files and folders from multi-disc data projects, backup projects, and encrypted discs that were created using Creator Classic. You can choose to retrieve all files and folders or specific files and folders only.

Roxio Updater
The Roxio Updater program is how you can manually check for updates to the program. You can set a number of features here including automatic updating.

Audible Manager
Audible Manager takes you to a webpage offering you the services of the Audible website.

Digital Media Services
The Digital Media Services button will bring up a website page. Here you can get your photographs printed off and sent to you. This is useful if you want to have hard copies of your photos.

Roxio Registration
The Roxio Registration page allows you to register your program and serial number with Roxio to gain certain benefits.

About
The about button brings up a large amount of information about the program. This includes details on the files running with this program and information about your system.

Disc Image Loader
The Disc Image Loader allows you to create a number of virtual drives and then to import your images and run them from there.

This is certainly a nice feature that has unfortunately been buried in the tools section. It's extremely simple to use and to load your images into it so that you can put your CD or DVD's away to stop them from being damaged.
DVDInfo Pro
DVDInfo Pro is a program that will tell you what your drive is capable of doing. It also contains a number of other features enabling you to scan your discs to see if have had a good burn or not.

DivX-To-DVD Creator
This program was covered above in the Video Section under the DivX-To-DVD section.
Roxio Player
The Roxio Player is a simple to use general usage player. It can handle a variety of formats and has a very simple easy to use interface.

The Positives and Negatives are next

A couple of added points about the review:
1. When Disc Copier is in "caching" mode, it does not show a write speed because it is not writing to the media at that point. I believe it is caching to hard disc.
2. When Disc Copier is finished, it indicates "Finished" towards the top of the write dialog box, in addition to changing the tag for the button towards the bottom of the box.
3. Roxio provides a pretty effective user community forum where users of the software are able to ask questions, discuss problems and get help from other users of the product line.
