Summary: What's the big deal?!
Review: It interesting to see a review about Studio 8, when it really does not relate to Studio 9. My mother uses this product because it's more user friendly for people who are not much a computer geek. I tried it and found it very simple to use and not much effort, but I'm a computer geek. Now about Studio 9. It fixes alot of these so called bug. One key thing with Studio 8/9 is the operating system and what type of system you have. It makes the world of difference and you won't have so many bugs. No software out there on the market will be perfect of bug free. We don't live in a perfect, so with that said, this software is very good for movie making and doing small projects and is not ment to be for creating major motion pictures. Give the software a chance to show you what it's able to do and if your stuck get a how to book for reference!

Summary: Would be good if it worked!
Review: My review is for the full version 9, not the upgrade, but they should be the same. I had so many problems with version 8, but I made the mistake of hoping version 9 would be better. WRONG.
The good: Pinnacle Studio is packed with features and is quite easy to use.
The bad: It's JUNK. Full of bugs even with the latest updates. It's slow too. STAY AWAY from this product!

Summary: Not enough testing, released too soon
Review: The STUDIO 9 upgrade is riddled with problems. I have had STUDIO 8 for some time and it worked fine so I upgraded to STUDIO 9 and the installation problems are a nightmare to start with (although I eventually got it installed), then there are the patches they put out which makes it almost impossible to add CD music to your video. You now have to rip CD music as .wav files and add them through the sound effects icon instead of the add CD feature which worked well with STUDIO 8.

Good Luck if you get the upgrade!!!! I would wait until the bugs are ironed out.

Summary: Studio 9 some bugs
Review: We upgraded from Studio 8 to 9 ... we made over 20 DVDs with Studio 8...We have burned one DVD and one VCD with Studio 9. The only problem we have had with Studio 9 is that the video CDs will not play with the Windows Media 9 player in the computer. The Studio 8 VCDs play OK ... there is a bug in the Studio 9 VCD software and several users are having this same problem. Pinnacle does not want to acknowledgee that there is a problem. We are are waiting for the fix before we burn any more VCDs.
