Summary: Worked out of the box
Review: I bought this at best buy and was concerned about the compatability with my HP 200i which uses the Dvd+r and Dvd+rw
after a quick link for dvd+r, I tried to make a dvd.
No problems and it was easy.
Oh yea I Have studio 7 and unlead and imported both in pinnacle express and it read it quickly and authored them without problem. I dont understand the other review which said it is not compatable, mine is 100% Oh well hope this helps and God Bless You!!

Summary: Pinnacle Express is not on a par with Pinnacle Studio 7
Review: I purchased Pinnacle Express to transfer my Pinnacle Studio 7 Projects to DVD. Unfortunately, the two products are not well integrated. Express will only import AVI files; thus, the projects that I made in MPEG 2 format had to be redone. Analog input is not supported, only digital via firewire. When scenes were relocted, the final product had hiccups on transition. Editing in express is limited and clunky, particularly when compared to Studio's polished editing features. Also, the maximum movie length is about an hour when including a menu. Other DVD authoring software is capable of up to two hours. On the plus side, the menu creation feature is excellent, with a number of preset menus as well as the opportunity to create custom menus. If you want a program that will capture and burn your DV movies with limited editing, this product will meet your needs. As for me, I will probably purchase Ulead's DVD Workshop after my trial month is up.

Review: It is the software for the beginners of vedio editing. It is very easy to use. I use this software to create my vedio on SVCD format and find no problem on my Windows XP system. The result of vedio quality is pretty good. This software really provides the basic features for most of home users without paying extra money for advanced seldom used features. With more features in vedio editing software, that suggests more likely the system will crash during operation...

Review: It is the software for the beginners of video editing. It is very easy to use. I use this software to create my video on SVCD format and find no problem on my Windows XP system. The video quality is pretty good. This software really provides the basic features for most of home users without paying extra money for advanced seldom used features. With more features in video editing software, that suggests more likely the system will crash during operation. ... it is the great deal for the price I paid.

Summary: Economical tool that serves your basic home video needs
Review: This software is geared toward the consumer market for those who want to quickly export home video to DVD. If paired with some low-priced video editing software like Pinnacle Studio 7, you can quickly capture and edit video (using Studio 7) and then burn your product to DVD. This tool is, however, limited in functionality. You won't be able to build submenus, create chapter points or create custom menus from scratch, but for most people it'll do the job. If you want more control and customization, you'll have to use high-end (and higher-priced) software like Adobe Premiere, Ulead's Media Studio Pro/DVD Workshop, or Sonic's DVDit! (which also lets you encode AC3 audio).One caveat: The quality of the final DVD product always depends on the MPEG2 encoder which the software uses. Pinnacle Express uses a fair-to-decent encoder which renders a good product if you encode a capture from a digital video source, e.g. a DV camera, etc. (at an aspect of 720x480). Encoding video from an analog capture (e.g., a TV-card) produces a less favorable result and noticeable artifacts are present. You can use freeware tools like Virtual Dub and TMPGEnc to clean/tweak the capture and produce a better MPEG video but the latter encoder, while excellent, is very slow. If you plan on burning VHS movies to DVD, I recommend you use an analog-to-digital converter, like Canopus' ADVC-100, to capture and then use authoring software, like Pinnacle Express to burn to DVD.
