If this program would do HALF of what it advertises, it might be a good deal, lol----but this so called "software" doesn't do ANYTHING right. I have downloaded all of the so called fixes I could find on their web site, still won't work or constantly hangs up, Oh yea----just try to call teck support for help----WORTHLESS. I threw mine in the trash, I didn't have the guts to re-sell it to someone for a couple of dollars, I still have to look at myself in the mirror.

I bought this SW to burn VHS source material onto DVDs. Prior to burning, the program performs its rendering of the clips. 9 times out of 10 the program hangs after a few hours of rendering. The one time it did not hang, I killed the program since it was only 10% done with a two hour video after 4 hours of processing. The Product is useless!
I am using Windows XP and have 1 GHz Pentium 4 Processor.

I would not recommend the purchase of this product to anyone. It does not perform all of the functions that the packaging leads you to believe. And, tech support is virtually non-existant, so trying to get any assistance from the company is an effort in futility. If you do choose to purchase this product, I sincerely hope that you have better luck than I did.

I was able to copy files to a data DVD once, now it won't work. I was able to copy a Music cd, but was never able to make a DVD. Tryed to work with the company, but was unable to get an answer that worked except the last comment, delete all burn software, so I deleted theirs, the one that came with the Sony laptop does work, but takes 2 hours. Perhaps it is my newer laptop that is the problem, I will never know. A thumbs down to Pinnacle.

Possibly the worlds worse piece of software. I cannot get it to do anything that it says and all I get is "file violation" blah blah blah. Anyone have the address of Pinnacle's HQ.......?

Amazon are making me give this one star - Pinnacle should be giving me stars!!!!!!! The real score is NO STARS.
