Roxio’s easy to use vhs to dvd is a basic product for converting your cherished memories so that they will last a lifetime. As stated, it comes with a dvd taking you step by step on how it works. It’s easy to follow, just be prepared to spend some time with it as it’s not a fast process. Also, I recommend as someone else said that you capture the video onto your computer in a folder first, to make the process easier.

I think what we want from a security suite is not to notice our anti-virus and firewalls. We want it not to interfere with our daily browsing or slow us down, while giving us maximum protection. That is what I get with this software. I’ve had no virus or security issues for the several months that I have had this. And I love that I don’t even notice it, ever. I received an email about security software a few days ago and I thought that I couldn’t even remember what I had.

I got this because I have Norton on my other computers except one and it is doing a great job. For me, the sign of a great anti-virus is if you really don’t know it’s there and you never have any issues with your computers. I haven’t been so lucky on the one computer I decided to put AVG on this year. That computer has been hijacked and had viruses. I had to get a different software to remove one of them.

AVG Internet Security 2011 is comprehensive computer protection package. The software includes the AVG Firewall, AVG Identity Protection, AVG Antispam and of course the virus scanner. AVG now uses a feature called Smart Scanning which scans files while you are using your computer as a low priority process. In the past, you may remember virus scanning programs would tend to freeze your games while playing. Now with AVG 2011, this problem has almost disappeared.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 Ultra is a great video playback product. The installation is rather straightforward but you will need to connect your laptop or PC to the internet to activate the license key. After installation, all compatible video formats and DVD or Blu-Ray discs will be automatically opened in this software. You can configure options like color, sound and 3D visual effects to dramatically improve the visual experience. I use a Sony VAIO Intel i7 laptop with an NVIDIA mobile graphics card through an HDMI cable connected to a Samsung 63 plasma television to watch my movies.

My netbook has many hours of home video files stored on it that I wanted to share with family. Using Nero 2014 Platinum and a USB DVD writer, I have had success burning these movies. Read on to find out what this software can really do!nnInstallationnI installed Nero 2014 Platinum on my Acer Aspire V5-122P-0637 netbook. The AMD quad core processor and 6Gb of memory seemed more than enough to try out video editing on my favorite portable computer.

Let’s face it, the built in Microsoft Windows backup system is just not dependable and can be extremely complicated for the average computer user. Arconis True Image Home 2011 gives you a comprehensive suite of backup and recovery tools for your Windows 7 x32 or x64 computer system.
I tested this software out on an ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard running Windows 7 Professional x64. Using an old Seagate ST3500630AS SATA hard drive as a secondary, I created a full backup of my OCZ 60Gb Vertex 2 SATA SSD.

InstallationnInstalling Roxio Creator NXT3 is a simple process. You can install this on a netbook but you will need an external USB DVD drive to read the installation disc. To get the most use out of the software, make sure you choose a complete install. You will need to input the license key so keep the DVD sleeve with the box for future reinstallation.

The Upgrade version of Windows XP Professional is fast, feature-rich, and has a fine interface. It is crash-resistant; does not hang during shut-down, and supports dual processors. It boasts of good networking options, as well as built-in Firewall internet security; yet, its value-for-money is suspect.nInstallation is time-consuming: budget one hundred minutes for it. Like the Office XP before it, there are activation woes: the money you paid notwithstanding, Microsoft dictates how and where you will use it.

One of the biggest sins Microsoft committed with her Office XP Application Suite is removing the Publisher from its Professional edition without lowering the price. (The Professional edition of Office 2000 has Publisher, in addition to all other Applications present in XP Professional). But that apart, I must say that this Publisher 2002 works fine. It is fast, very easy to customize, and yields high quality Desktop Publishing outputs. Still, a close scrutiny revealed that its ‘improvements’ over the 2000 edition is only marginal.
