Good Points: Ease of use. Free.
Bad Points: Small selection of templates.
General comments: I have myDVD LE 5, supplied pre-installed on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The program has been a dream to use. A few problems occurred with some media (wouldn't play) but these disappeared when I tried an alternative manufacturer.I burn slideshow projects created from photos and video clips from my Canon PowerShot A510 digital camera, using Windows Movie Maker.I also create DVD folders on a hard disk with built-in Media Player that connects to my TV.

Bought a new Compaq computer as a back up computer, as we sell How To DVD's about how to service your own Oil Fired Heating Systems and Oil Burners, and we sell hundreds a month!! The computer came with the Sonic MyDVD burning software. Turns out it works FANTASTICLY well, and we have never ever had any problems or issues. People complaining are most likely those that have computers that are not compatible with the software, or it could be non-compatible Hardware. But I have been using it since ...

The Sonic Basic MyDVD is the most unreliable hunk of garbage on the market today. And their web site is equally horrendous. Don't walk away from Sonic - RUN, as fast as you can.

I purchased my Dell computer partically to duplicate my purchased DVD movies and it flat does not work. The Dell salesman told me "no problem" either he didn't know or wasn't telling me the truth. Don't know how CD burning is am so discusted with the DVD portion. Has anyone had any success with this or any other DVD copying software?

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 g ...

The number of times the Sonic Basic MyDVD crashes is unacceptable. Even being careful to save your work often doesn't help when mysterious DVDErr-19013 renders your project un-openable. Tech support's solution? "You need to re-author your project". I spend several hours over several days working on a project and their expert solution is to just start over.

The Sonic Basic MyDVD GUI was so well designed that any computer novice can quickly pick up and move on with her project. However when running into problem, the error message is absolutely non-sensical, giving no clue whether the cause is hardware, driver, application, or project itself. Support staff on the web appear lack of experience in using the product (MyDVD) and lack of support experience as well. Most solutions are not solid, but phrased in the context "we think", "we recommend", or ...

The Sonic DVD software is given away with most Dell computers.
The first thing I wanted to do is simply put some still photographs on DVD imported from the internet.
In theory it should of been a very simple task but in practice it was not.
After waiting 10 minutes "disc error" appeared and after swapping to other new blank DVDs the same message kept appearing.
Finally when it burned onto the disc the results were poor.
On a moving slideshow there were awful dropouts.
The next thing I did ...
