Summary: Not ready for prime time
Review: I bought the Studio 8 AV because of the excellent reviews (not on this site, but probably sites that are paid off by Pinnacle). The software itself is not that intuitive, and the manual is average at best. The software comes with a card you can install in your PC to download videos via 1394 protocol.

The main problem with this software is it crashes every 10 minutes. For a decent sized project, it will crash 10 or 20 times before you get finished.

Other than that, the MPEG encoding is good, delivering superior video results on your DVD.

I would avoid this software like the plague because Pinnacle obviously does not invest enough money into QUALITY, like making sure the software isn't as full of as many holes as a moth-eaten sweater. It even crashes when you click on the HELP tutorial.

Too bad... and the hype you read about this product is totally is amazing, in comparison to how bad this product is.

I'm thinking of launching a class action suit on behalf of all the users that got ripped off buying this product.

Review: Software crashs often using Windows XP. The worst piece of software I have ever purchased. Ended up with Sony Screenblast 3.0 which works great.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I'm beginning to feel the same way
Review: These guys are right I've been working on a project for quite a while I tried to transfer it to AVI and I lost all of it.
It took so much time that I'm workin on a MPEG version.
I'll let you know how it goes.
