It is mentioned in the warrants that the program doesn't have Blu-ray support so some users may be interested in looking for another program to backup their HD videos or convert Blu-ray movies. In this case Roxio can offer more expensive but functional multimedia command center with great Blu-ray authoring capabilities called Roxio Creator 2011.
Along with MyDVD 10 Premier Roxio offers community forums, support network and knowledge base. It will be easy to address any licensing or technical problems or find "how to" information on the site Roxio.com.
