It was free, admittedly.
clumsy, poorly written software needs expensive "upgrade" ripoff before you can use it. BEWARE!!
I aquired this Sonic Basic MyDVD software when I bought my new DELL pc tower. As I am interested in burning video and still onto CD, I did try to use the software. Everything you want to do requires you to "upgrade". In fact the pre- installed software allows you to do virtually nothing. You need to order the "Deluxe" version before you can do anything. This upgrade came from Germany and cost over £40. To install the upgrade takes less than 15 seconds so that shows how far your money has gone. AND I still need to buy an "analogue video capture card". As all these cards come with their own software- including MyDVD deluxe in one case- you are left wondering why you were stupid enough to buy the upgrade in the first place. Delete this program, it's just a cheap ripoff.
