I have many old 8mm video tapes that were made when my kids were small. Ive been using Pinnacle Studio to convert them to DVD. It works well to control my camera via a Firewire connection, capture the digital video feed, allow me to edit it and then transfer the resulting file to a DVD. Pinnacle Studio is easy to use and has a minor learning curveat least for my application.

I’ve been using this to convert old family videos to a modern format. It’s been working beautifully. It’s powerful with an intuitive user interface…at least if you’ve previously used similar programs. I don’t know about your old movies, but my thirty year old ones needed a lot of work. Image stabilization was nonexistent in my earliest cameras and was pretty weak in the later ones. Exposures were okay when the swim meets were outdoors, but iffy for indoor events, Magix Movie Edit Pro really helped make those old videos viewable again.

Worked great for a MAC at the time, but now only own PCs.

Installed and working.

Working with W8.1

Works for Wxp. Have updated to newer version for W7.

Allows me to save files to pdf with print command. That’s all I wanted.

Here is my beef. The price dropped before shipping. I asked Amazon.com to honor the price at shipment time. I was told to take a hike and Amazon no longer honors its own prices. I won’t be shopping here again.

This program is worthless. If you have more than four daycare providers, which is difficult not to do when you have multiple kids and multiple summer camps, a limitation in the program will not allow you to E-File. I used Turbo Tax for 15 years and used the Block program one year and became so frustrated that I didn’t make that mistake again, until this year. But I did, and you know what?
