Summary: Very Buggy
Review: This product is made up of 5 individual programs that import and export each others' file formats. The most important one, Video Editor, worked pretty well, IMO. I was able to construct my video without too much trouble, and the interface is intuitive. It's not as good as an Avid station or Final Cut, but it got the job done.The place where this really falls down is their Video Capture software, which crashes incessantly. Really, unless you follow a VERY narrow path of click here, click there, you're almost certain to crash. Not only that, but the DV support is EXTREMELY buggy. I found that if I tried to capture the exact same clip twice, the software would get it slightly wrong- starting a frame or two too early and ending a frame or two early. This is TERRIBLE if you ever want to be able to reconstruct your project, or if you use compressed clips for offlining and the full DV source for onlines. You'll have to painstakingly tweak all of your edits. Better to take your EDL to a professional studio and have them do it. I wasted hours coping with this issue. If they just fixed the problems surrounding the Video Capture, I think this product would be worth it. As is, though, I wish I'd gone with something else.

Summary: Not a finished product
Review: Ulead has very bad support. The editing program is good enough now that they have release the patch.I have been wasting a lot of time with the capture program that on my machine at least has problems capturing sound. I may or may not get a fix, but if I could find another program to use with my ADS PYRO card I would use it.
