Summary: Very good basic editor
Review: This is a very good basic editor for video files. I started using it for editing MPEG-1, but have graduated to MPEG-2. It does basic menus, no more than this, but for most of my projects, that's sufficient. As a plus, it gives me a lot of flexibility when encoding files, and this so far is about the only software package that I can control the encode rate. The only problem I have is I can't burn DVD+R disks (using Philips DVDRW228) that will be recognized by regular players. But, if I burn to DVD+RW, then do a copy with this software to DVD+R, everything works just fine.

Summary: Beware of installing!
Review: This software is defective and has serious compatibility issues. I was able to create a functional SVCD, but it was very distorted, even though I used the standard resolution for my movie. Installing the product "hosed" up my hard drive so badly that I had to restore the system. Stupidly, I tried it on another OS with the same results. I ended up having to restore that machine as well. Both machines more than met the recommended requirements on the DVD MovieFactory box. This is very disappointing software.

Summary: Decent features, poor video quality
Review: While I have a couple of the expensive packages, I always use this one to first bring in my video or MPEG files. The editor is easy to use, and I can move an hour, minute, second, or frame at a time. I can make quick work of archiving old TV shows minus the commericials by marking the segments and converting. Export is easy and fast. It's strength is file handling. Basic menus on the final products are also available here. But they are basic, compared to the expensive packages.
