With so many different sub-applications, it's a tough call to give an overall assessment, especially given the wide range of applications on offer. It's also entirely possible to launch each application by itself if the guided Suite approach doesn't suit your needs. Like most suites, Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 comes with a central command console - labeled just as the Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 Suite - which gives you access to all the applications and utilities, as well as a simplified, task-driven interface based around either media types or frequently used tasks. The sunlight (in moderation) will do you good. Don't look to install Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 if you need some encoding done quickly instead we'd suggest a short walk in a nearby park.

Installation of Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 was fundamentally simple, but even on a high-end PC, remarkably slow. On a purely fiscal note, if each application were of equal worth to you, you'd be looking at AU$7.22 per application, which is pretty cheap in our books. Within that little lot, you're bound to find one or two applications that should suit your multimedia needs and presumably if you're looking at a suite, more than one.

It isn't even easy to list all of the applications that install: BackOnTrack, CinePlayer, Creator Classic, Label Creator, Media Manager, Music Disc Creator, MyDVD, PhotoSuite, Sound Editor, Video Copy & Convert, VideoWave, Audio Converter, Audio Tag Editor, AutoMix, CineMagic, Create Panoramas, DVD Music Assistant, Disc Image Loader, LP and Tape Assistant, Media Import, Multi Photo Enhance and finally MyDVD Express. That's in stark contrast to the massive media suites that are on offer today, and few come with meatier options than Roxio's Easy Media Creator Suite 10.
