General Comments

I started with Ulead Videostudio 8 which I found a little awkward to use, but it worked. I then went to Pinnacle Studio 9 because the interface was better thought out and I liked using it. However, it continually crashed and would never burn a DVD - looks good but complete rubbish. I then thought spending more money was the answer, so I bought Pinnacle Edition 4.5. This was buggy and crashed a lot, so when available I upgraded to 5.5 and then Liquid Edition 6 (a total cost of £800). This was unstable, and the transitions often flickered and it still would not burn DVD's. I upgraded to an HP Dual Xeon 3.2GHz workstation, and I still had the same result.

Finally, I found Magix Movie Edit Pro. It has great features, is easy to use, very stable and always burns DVD's perfectly, and (especially compared to Studio9) it works great, even on my 1.4GHz laptop - amazing. Transitions are limited, but version 10 seems to be a lot better. Don't be put off by the price, it is a gem. Upgrading to 10 soon. I never write reviews, but I have been so pleased with this software that I had to.

    I couldn't believe, until I tried it, this software has professional qualities I haven't found my my roxio 7.5 editing software. It appears to me to be a promotion giveaway at a price unbeatable. Umm, I say about 30.00 bucks. I highly recommend it .
