Roxio

Owned by Corel Corporation according to its website, Roxio is a software brand that makes programs for burning discs, editing video, audio and photos, and converting media files on Windows and Mac. Besides editions for home users, it runs a volume licensing programme for businesses, government bodies and schools. Under that programme an organisation can standardise on Roxio across many machines, install over a network, customise set-ups and move existing OEM licences onto volume terms.
