With the digital media suite, you can edit 3D videos, and create SD and HD quality 3D movies on DVDs from 2D and 3D inputs.
You can also create high-quality 3D images from the photos taken using a standard 2D camera, and can transform your 2D photos into 3D works of art.

It allows you to download and save videos and broadcasts from YouTube and other popular video sites onto your PC, and convert them so that you can play them on your portable media device or cell phone.
The powerful sound editor included in the media suite lets you easily trim unwanted parts, combine multiple tracks, standardize the volume across the mix, and introduce fun and groovy effects; it also lets you create advanced playlist projects with transitions, crossfades, and audio mashups. Using the suite's comprehensive photo editor, you can edit multiple images at the same time, fix red eyes, erase wrinkles and blemishes, correct for color, and insert effects such as transparency and edge fading.
The Creator 2011 suite allows you to easily transform routine photographs into sweeping panoramas by stitching together multiple pictures side-by-side; this feature comes handy when photographing landscapes, crowd scenes, and architecture.

The suite comes with Roxio BackOnTrack 4 (a complete redesign over the previous version) that helps restore your system after a crash and that protects against computer crashes and user errors; this lets you store your precious photos, videos, songs, and important data with added safety. With BIAS SoundSoap SE, you can remove unwanted noise from soundtracks and clean your LPs, cassettes, and audio files; further, given the intuitive user interface the entire process is rather easy and much fun. You can use the included anaglyph 3D glasses to view your PC or TV in 3D. The suite also comes with Roxio Streamer (powered by HipServ), which enables easy access to and sharing of videos/movies, photos, and songs on your PC from/over the Internet.

The digital media suite supports ATI Stream and Nvidia Cuda technologies that allow for faster rendering and encoding of video by making optimal utilization of multi-core processors. The Roxio media suite considerably enhances your TiVo experience - you can free up your TiVo space by archiving your TiVo shows and movies to DVDs after removing commercials and unwanted episodes, and can then convert these into playable formats so that you can play them on your portable media device or cell phone. For added convenience when capturing audio Internet radio, LPs, tapes, and streaming music services, the media suite automatically inserts the title, artist, and genre information into your audio files without the need of retyping such information.

Comments about Roxio Creator 2011 (Pro) Digital Media Suite:
Web based video capture is easy to use and quick. Within an hour of set up I was able to create slide shows with my photos and music. I have utilized only the tip of the iceberg of Roxio Creator 2011 Pro and am looking forward to future projects.

Comments about Roxio Creator 2011 (Pro) Digital Media Suite:
The initial installation of this software resulted in slow performance (click an option on the menu wait 1 minute for the cursor to come back and up to 5 minutes for the next set of options). I call tech support and was told to uninstall, download and use a special "clean" program and then reinstall. The uninstall corrupted my user profile and made it impossible to login to my 2 month old Dell computer. Tech support helped me get back into the computer. I completed the uninstall/reinstall. The software plays my Qiucktime videos with the sound playing 25% faster than the video. DVDs created have the same video/audio sync problem. Tech support has been responding by asking one simple question a day (latest was "are you using IE ver 9 beta"). I suspect they are trying to run out the 90 day free phone support period.
