I picked up Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 about 6 months ago and it is much better. I wasn't happy with the DVDs I made with MS MM. It had that grainy appearance around the edges. Roxio lets you import in AVI, which is great, but huge. Edits and transitions are really nice with the Roxio and I like the interface a little better. It took a little getting used to after using MS MM, but once you do, it's nice.
