1.0 out of 5 stars Sucks, November 11, 2006

I bought this to convert some .AVI and .MOV files so I could try video podcasting with a web multimedia class I teach. I've done this successfully with a shareware product, but thought the resulting video could be a little sharper, so I was willing to pay for and try a commerical product. (Pinnacle, right? They do a lot of this stuff, they must know what they're doing . . . . ) HA!!!! HUGE mistake. The interface is horrible, and the conversion just-plain-sucks. Everything came out in flouescent colors with huge blocks covering the screen. Totally, completely unwatchable. It looks like a 60s psychedellic experience, like "motion art," not like a proper video at all. Avoid this product!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely useless, January 12, 2007

It's important to note that this product states it only converts non copy-protected DVD's. Well, that limits your options tremendously, because everything you buy on DVD is copy-protected. So, the only thing you can send to your iPod is home movies? How is that useful to anyone? The front of the box states "Convert and transfer your favorite videos quickly and easily". The purchaser of this product needs to understand that movies are not included in that statement.

Beyond that, the quality of the conversions is not the best. I hope there is something else out there that works better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not waste your money!, April 14, 2007

I made the grave mistake of purchasing this software without the benefit of a trial period. I could not get it to work, went to the manufacturer's website and downloaded a patch/new version and then it wouldn't load. I got an error that, according to the manufacturer "shouldn't matter". Thier customer support was terrible and they refuse to stand buy their product, saying that I'd have to return it to the place of purchase. of course as opened software, the seller wouldn't take it back.

This product was a total waste of money. To top it all off it was very difficult to remove the program from my computer!
