Review by Laura
Extremely easy installation and setup which took about 12 minutes. I did not have any of the issues others have complained about and I have Windows7.
I have spent hours on this program trying out the different functions and all but one (video) are very easy to figure out, the data/copy, music/audio, photo, and copy/convert.
On the Burn Data Disc function I like that you can easily remove single or multiple files from the burn window and also rename if desired.
I have gotten stuck on the very comprehensive video section. I want to organize and string together my hundreds of video clips taken over the years and you can do many different things to enhance the final video. I experimented with just three video clips totaling 5 minutes and burned it onto a re-writable DVD and it actually played on my PS3 without being closed/finalized. Then I tried about 50 clips of different formats that would fill up the DVD and there was a problem with the encoding so I am now in the process of using the copy/convert function to make them all the same, MPEG-2, hoping it will solve the problem.
I’m not very experienced with these types of programs so it’s understandable that I will have a more time consuming learning curve. So far though I am very impressed; this software offers everything I have wanted to do with my pictures, music and video. I will update this review as I discover/learn/solve functions and issues.
Update: I could not figure out the reason I could not burn a movie disc containing multiple movie clips I had put together and saved to a file and found that it will error out if you try to burn it from within the software. If you close the software and access the file from wherever you saved it, it will burn the DVD with no problem.
