This software sets up a virtual CD/DVD drive on your computer rendering your original CD/DVD drive useless unless you have the software running. Your computer will crash if you put a CD or a DVD in the original drive.
This software is BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!

This review is from: PINNACLE S INSTANT CD/DVD VERSION 8-CANADA ( 210100306 ) (CD-ROM)

I bought Instant CD/DVD as a cheap authoring solution and regretted it since installation. The software crashes repeatedly and I have yet to successfully burn a home-movie DVD!
I did some checking and found reports on the net and even in Pinnacle's own user forums from other owners experiencing similar problems. Pinnacle have limited drive compatibility lists on their site - at the very least you should check your burner is on it before you even consider purchasing this software. Other owners list issues with XP SP2 also.
After flogging this dead horse for 2 months, I have given up, put it down to experience and bought Nero 6.0 instead... and was able to author a movie DVD inside of an hour with no problems!
