Consumer warning concerning Roxio MyDVD 8

Category
Avoid this piece of rubbish at all costs!!! I purchased this product today as I wanted to do a dew more things with the DVDs I am burning. The Sonic DVD software that came with the PC had been working great but I needed some of the extra features. So I ponied up for Roxio MyDVD premier 8. The install took place and told me to reboot, I did and upon rebooting was welcomed with multiple Roxio Media Manager crash messages, not a good start. It's so bad it made 1-2-3 for Windows 1.0 look stable. So I disabled Media Manager and rebooted again, ok no erros there. Then I burnt a DVD that seemed to work although it does claim to have an option of Fit-To-DVD which doesn't really appear to work. I decided to label the DVD with the lightscribe, this totally failed, it printed everything as black, so pretty pointless. I have requested a refund, and judging by some of the websites out there, I'm not the first.

I thought that Fit-to-DVD would solve my problem but it didn't. On the DVD it says that I can record up to 4 hrs. but from the looks of it I can't, I can only record about 2.5 hrs. Any suggestions on how to get my money back?

Gravatar Image2 - Does anyone know how to remove all of the Roxio software? This totally worthless program disabled my DVD writer. I took Roxio off and regained some funtionality, but I'm still having problems. I suspect they are due to an incomplete removal of the Roxio software. I want to nuke everything Roxio on my machine.
