Editing features are pretty cool, improved from last versions.
But capture is so buggy when it comes to capturing video originally shot in analog mode (like all your VHS tapes) just won't work with this software. You have to capture with another program, like CapWiz or Win DV, then edit with Video Studio.

I've been using VS since version 5 and usually had no capture problems before version 11. both in XP and Vista.
So unless you want to be a beta tester for Ulead (now owned by Corel) and PAY them for the privilege, forget this version for a while. Try Roxio EasyMedia Creator or Nero.

I purchased VS 11 after using version 9 because I had found some decent ratings for this upgrade on the internet and I was already familiar with VideoStudio and how it works. After receiving the application CD ROM I attempted to install the software, but after what appeared to be a successful install the setup installation froze during the final stages and then aborted with a Fatal Error message. Ater 3 unsuccesful attempts and one attempt using Ulead tech support suggestions I finally gave up.

Ulead tech support was unnable to come up with any fixes so that I could successfully install their product. Very frustrating.

I had version 9 and it worked fine. I never did like the fact it took 8 hours to convert and burn the first DVD. It would not burn to a disk at all once I installed Vista so I upgraded to version 11 and it still comes up with an error when trying to covert and burn the first disk. It only works to make small mpg files for web sharing. Do Not Waste Your Money on this Product. I bought Cyberlink Power Director and it works much better and only takes an half an hour to convert and burn the first DVD.

the program locks my computer up nearly every time i try to do anything. i've installed and re-installed several times. i have more than enough computer memory and a video card with enough memory as well.

but in two months, i've managed to partially complete one video project of a playdate of my daughter's. and their website is awful, also.
BUY SOMETHING ELSE.

I've only been using this program for a week now but i'm loving it. It does however, some of the time, have an error pop up when your trying to start it... but everytime i go to restart the program, it runs fine... Didnt take me long to figure out how to work the program.

I spent days and days making a video and then when I tried to burn it, which took an hour and a half, I got error messages saying I couldn't burn it. So I try their help files and come up with a solution that also does not work. When I finally get them to answer an email inquiry they tell me to phone them at a cost of 15.00. I live overseas and the cost to call would be prohibitive. AND - WHY SHOULD I PAY TO GET HELP ON A FEATURE THAT SHOULD WORK IN THE PROGRAM? - This stinks. Don't buy this software.
