This is hardly a user-friendly approach and is certainly not a welcome introduction to the program. However it quickly begins to grate on you as you are requested to supply the exact same details the first time each of the various applications are run. When you first launch Media Suite 10 you will be asked to supply your registration details which seems fair enough. Bringing all these applications together is the PowerStarter front-end module. As such the Media Suite 10 could be described as a liquorice allsorts of software. In addition to the main titles you also get LabelPrint 2.5, MediaExpresso 6.5, PowerBackup 2.6, PowerDVD Copy 1.5, Cyberlink Instant Burn 5 and WaveEditor 2. This confusion of version numbers is further complicated by the additional six titles that make up Media Suite 10. Media Suite 10 features the five main offerings of PowerDVD 12 Express, PowerDirector 10, MediaShow 6, PowerToGo 8 and PowerProducer 5.5.

This review is based on a downloaded copy of the Ultra version of Media Suite 10 which means I have not had access to any printed documentation that might be included in the boxed version. Now up to version 10, Media Suite is available in either Ultra or Pro editions. This product is a collection of various Cyberlink’s products. You could, of course, purchase these items on an individual basis or opt for the less expensive route that is available with Cyberlink Media Suite. While Cyberlink is probably best known for its PowerDVD and PowerDirector products, the company also has developed a number of other titles covering different aspects of media management which could prove useful.
