Summary: buyer beware!
Review: I am an happy user of version 5 and I have gone back to it after many hairpulling hours with the Microsoft techs getting my system back after version 6 crashed my machine. It is a bulky, slow, bug ridden mess. Save your money and wait for them to clean this dog up before buying. beware!

Summary: BAD NEWS
Review: I completely agree with the other reviews of this software.

I received MyDVD bundled with the Sony DVD burner I purchased. I thought I was getting a great deal but MyDVD has turned out to be nothing but problems. Buggy, inconsistent, poor support, a big pain in the butt. No wonder it was free.

Avoid it!

Summary: Worthless
Review: I managed to capture 1 video clip. Now it hangs everytime I try to get another one. I cannot even kill the process. I have to reboot.

Absolutely worthless. I cannot believe Iomega bundles this garbage with their DVD burning hardware.

Don't buy it, do not waste your money. And don't buy Iomega products that bundle it either.

Summary: The Best
Review: I think that this product is fabulous. It only takes me a couple clicks and I'm done. I recommend this product to all beginners and daily computer users.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: buggiest software i have ever bought
Review: it hangs or crashes every time i use it. the slideshow feature seems to be totally broken. when it does work, the video quality is roughly on par with a [less expensive]analog camcorder.

it looks like sonic has an update on their website which may fix some of these problems. unfortunately, their product registration website is also broken so I can't download anything.

mydvd 4 == total waste of [money].

Summary: Completely broken
Review: Shame on me for not reaqding reviews from other users before buying. This software is completely broken, and there is no fix in sight. There are updates for MyDVD on the Sonic site, but these updates don't support the Adaptec version.
I've had MyDVD try to make a DVD three times, each time I let it run all night, and each time in the morning it was still in the "Building Menus" stage.

Summary: BAD NEWS IS RIGHT
Review: This program is full of bugs. The UI is actually OK, but the program just does not work. Error after error, coaster after coaster.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Crashes too much.
Review: When I select an MPEG-2 file to import (for DVD creation), the program immediately crashes (and messes with my MPEG-2 codec, so the codec needs to be re-installed). So I restart the program, open the folder containing MPEG-2 files, and before I even select the file the program crashes again!

At first I had MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files in the same folder, so I had to separate them in order to use the MPEG-1 files to create a VCD. MPEG-2 is still too much for MyDVD to handle.

Got this as a bundled program with Screenblast Movie Studio. While Movie Studio has worked out so far, MyDVD is far from meeting any expectations. I can understand if the program is hard to use, has bad interfaces, and does not create great DVD menus, etc., but for it to crash just because I opened a folder with MPEG-2 files in it is beyond my comprehension.
