If you're picking a creative photo or video editing program on a physical disc for a Windows PC, the first tension is whether you need photo processing, video trimming, or a legacy editing suite. The four options here span USD 9.96 to USD 19.99 and include two video editors, one RAW photo editor, and one older commercial DVD editor.
Quick Take
For a modern Windows video editor on CD, Shotcut Professional HD Video Editing Software Suite lists at USD 9.99 and covers 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. The Professional Video Editing Software 2025 is the higher-priced video CD in the lineup, listed at USD 18.25 with trim and effects tools. Photographers should turn to RawTherapee Photo Editing Software, listed at USD 9.96, for RAW processing and a bundled PDF manual. If you have a legacy Windows system, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD lists at USD 19.99 on DVD and includes 3D glasses, a manual, and a serial number.

Decision Matrix
- Shotcut Professional HD Video Editing Software Suite is the video editor with the lower listed price and a lifetime license approach. Wide 64-bit Windows coverage makes it a strong modern pick.
- Professional Video Editing Software 2025 adds a 2025 title to a trim-and-effects video editor, but it sits at a higher price point than the Shotcut CD.
- Raw Therapee Photo Editing Software is the only photo-centered option, offering RAW editing rather than video. It also ships with a 500+ page manual PDF and supports 64-bit Windows 7 through 11.
- MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD is the legacy DVD choice with a Very Good condition listing and physical extras. Its 2013-era design ties it to older Windows versions.
Product Notes
Shotcut Professional HD Video Editing Software Suite (CD)
If you need a video editor that runs on 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11, the Shotcut CD is a low-cost entry point. The listing highlights open-source software, lifetime licensing, and a no-subscription approach, which fits editors who want one purchase on a disc. It is a practical starting place for trimming, effects, and general video work. The packaging is minimal: this disc ships without a retail box, and no manufacturer warranty is listed. If you want a printed manual or boxed presentation, the bare CD keeps the investment modest but offers little beyond the software itself.
Professional Video Editing Software 2025 ~ Trim Effects Video Editor (CD)
The 2025 Trim Effects editor is presented as a full-version Windows video editor compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7. Its description emphasizes free upgrades for life and an open-source foundation, making it a subscription-free path to newer video editing tools. For someone who wants the 2025 product name and a trim-plus-effects workflow, this CD delivers that in a single purchase. The main caveat is the higher listed price among the two video CDs, and the title leans on a generic 2025 description rather than a developer identity. You are choosing based on the feature set described in the listing.
Raw Therapee Photo Editing Software (CD)
RawTherapee stands apart as the photo-editing tool in this set. It is a RAW image editor for Windows with 64-bit support across Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and the CD includes the full installer and a 500+ page official manual PDF. The description points to non-destructive editing, advanced color science, batch processing, and wide RAW camera support, all without a subscription. That makes it the clear pick when your workflow centers on still photos rather than video. The limitation is scope: this is not a video editor, so you would still need a separate tool for trimming or video effects. Like the Shotcut CD, it ships without a retail box.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD (DVD)
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD is the only DVD-based product here, and the only one described as a commercial 2013-era release. The listing includes a program DVD, 3D glasses, manual, and serial number, and the condition is listed as Very Good. Its Windows focus is the older generation: XP, Vista, and 7, so this is not a current-Windows video tool. The higher listed price reflects the bundled physical extras and the MAGIX name. If you run a legacy PC and want a complete DVD package with those additions, this is your option. For a modern Windows machine, the two CD-based video editors are more aligned with current operating systems.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Modern Windows video editing with the lower listed price: choose Shotcut Professional HD Video Editing Software Suite. It covers 64-bit Windows 7 through 11 and has the lower listed price among the two video CDs.
- A 2025-titled video editor: the Professional Video Editing Software 2025 offers trim and effects tools with a full-version license, but at a higher listed price.
- RAW photo processing: RawTherapee is the photo-only option with a PDF manual and non-destructive RAW workflow.
- Legacy Windows machines: MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD is the DVD package with 3D glasses and a manual, though it is tied to the XP/Vista/7 era.
If your needs are split between photo and video, keep RawTherapee for stills and pick the Shotcut CD for video editing. That combination stays near the lower end of the overall price range while covering both workflows.
