CyberLink Media Suite Centra 8 Description

Do you find yourself often looking for a program to burn videos, manage photos, create music compilations or print disc labels? Then look no further, because CyberLink Media Suite has all those tools, and many more.

This complete multimedia suite features all the applications you need to make the most of your multimedia library. Among many other tasks, you'll be able to burn personal music collections on CD or DVD, create backup copies of your most important files, and design photo slideshows to share with family and friends.

All the tools included in CyberLink Media Suite are conveniently organized in a sleek dark main menu. All you have to do is search for the particular task you want to do ("watch a DVD movie", "back up your PC", "make an audio CD", "manage photos", etc.) and then launch the corresponding application. The main menu also includes a special Favorites section where you can add shortcuts to your most frequently used apps.

What does CyberLink Media Suite include? As a starter, you'll find a powerful recording tool, Power2Go, with which you can burn data CD and DVD, burn your own music compilations, and create backup copies of important files. Another outstanding app is PowerProducer, which lets you create video discs, burn HDV/DV videos and create video and photo compilations. If you want to create a fully customized slideshow with soundtrack, transition effects and all the bells and whistles, then your best choice is MediaShow. Finally, PowerDVD Copy and PowerBackup also deserve a mention, allowing you to copy non-protected DVD movies and create security copies of your sensitive data respectively.

CyberLink Media Suite is a complete package with high-quality tools, perfect for the average user. I'm not sure about more advanced users though: I'm convinced that the more you learn about how to use computers and software, the more you tend to look for specific software solutions, and not huge suites with a dozen tools from which you'll probably end up using only two.

CyberLink Media Suite is a full-featured multimedia suite with a very varied set of tools to burn discs, create backup copies, design slideshows and more.
