1.0 out of 5 stars Windows Vista Owners Beware!!!, January 27, 2008

This review is from: Corel DVD MovieFactory 6.0 Plus [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

I used this product for a month on the recommendations of a video forum group. It was for the specific purpose of burning HD-DVD compliant videos onto standard 4.7GB DVD's using a standard DVD burner.

The biggest problem with this product is that importing files take a long, long, long time. Whether you choose your desired file from a dialog box, or drag and drop it onto the open Ulead DVD Movie Factory window, the program basically locks your computer up for the next hour. Note that this is BEFORE you do anything with the file.

It's not just with high definition videos either. Standard definition files also take a long time to load.

Technical support from the Corel website is basically non-existent save for some FAQ's and a users forum. Even if you click on the so-called "Technical Support" link it takes you directly to the FAQ's. You can't even get email support. I at least got that with Microsoft.

Looking through those forums I realize that others who use this product with Windows Vista have the same issues. The label on the box says "Works with Windows Vista", just not how well.

Hopefully I'll have better luck with Nero.

3.0 out of 5 stars Makes It Easy But Lacks Options, March 17, 2008

Corel/Ulead DvD Factory is fairly easy to use if you just wish to do simple editing. Trimming, adding chapters, combining clips are all more intuitive with this program than the stripped down version of Nero. For half the price of Ulead's VideoStudio, you get fewer bells and whistles and a bit less creative control. But VideoStudio involves much of the same software as I learned. Attempts to get fancy that proved too much for DVDFactory and lead to the program freezing up had the same ill effect in VideoStudio. DVDFactory probably is no different from any other video program in that it will use up a large amount of hard drive space with its working versions of your projects. The first time it took me a few minutes to figure out where 30 GB of hard drive space could have gone to before realizing that DVDFactory pretty much puts the entire dvd project into one of its folders. That way it just pulls up the project instead of reapplying the edits to your original video when you open. The menu creation step restricts the user to only a few possibilities. This I found to be really frustrating. I searched for updates/enhancements on the Corel/Ulead website but this program seems to be the forgotten stepchild. I found out on the user forum that one can make their own menus but it is a lot of work requiring the use of Ulead's photo program. So after spending considerable time to get the movie just right, one then has to settle for some pretty awful menu graphic options. So if you are just starting out at editing your videos this program will empower you through your first 10 projects but after that you will be forced to rehash the same menus and themes that were rather tacky in the first place.

I purchased this software along with Video Studio 11 Plus. It did get the job done but advanced DVD menu options would lock up the program even after a fresh install of Windows XP Pro (So all of my Menus are text based). Another issue that didn't exactly win me over was after editing my videos in Video studio 11+ I attempted to import them directly into Movie factory 6.0+. This seemed to be the most logical step, and even though they both work from the same extention DVD Movie factory will not open the files. I ended up converting the videos to Mpegs then back to Corel files. That added an hour to each DVD.
