After buying a 40$ 2012 video editor with bad avi decoding giving smeared colours of videos from my two digital cameras I reinstalled my old Movie Plus 5. It comes with OK avi decoders, and a separate install of (free) Xvid encoder allowed Movie Plus 5 to export in xvid .avi format in addition to the default mpg, mov, avi and wmv formats.Install of the (also free)k-lite basic codec pack made import of variuos mp4, 3gp and flv files possible after ticking "allow 3 party codecs" under...

When using the EXPORTING part of the program as it is so slow, I tend to do it last thing at night before retiring. Trouble is, when I get up during the night, I go and look how its getting on, only to find the exporting has stopped and a pop up box is on screen asking me if I really want to stop. This annoys me, as time is wasted through inaction of the program.
I'm only a novice at this movie authoring but I find it relatively easy to get to grips with. Therefore I well recommend Serif...

I have been using this for two years now with great success. It is full of features some of which I am still discovering.

I would recommend this product and Serif as a supplier.

I did all the trials of most of the popular software, and whilst they looked good at first, it soon became apparent that they were either bloated out or were not as easy to use as stated.

I agree with this review because... All the positive comments reflect my own experience of this software however, the "no free trial" is not strictly true as I've always purchased Serif products with a 60 day money back guarantee.<br/><br/>The only problem I had with the DVD authoring tool, was setting chapter thumbnails to something other than the first frame of the chapter. Once I found the button that moves the caret on to the required frame, that problem was sorted.
