Pinnacle is notorious for crashing.

I've worked with various Pinnacle Studio versions since last decade, and they've all had two things in common:1. When the program works, it's superb.2. The other 50% of the time, it crashes frequently, and hard!For years, Pinnacle had designed the market's top, novice-affordable video editing/authoring platforms, but for some frustrating reason, they just can't seem to keep the bugs out. This verson is no exception.Lately, the competition in this market has mushroomed, and there are better alternatives...

Resulting MPEGs work only with Pinnacle

The capturing from VHS worked fine. Pinnacle 9 creates MPEG files from your captures. However, the DVD creation options are -horrible-. After the captures were done, I had several MPEG files that Pinnacle had created. I sold Pinnacle (and uninstalled the software), and then bought a separate DVD authoring tool with which to create DVDs from Pinnacle's MPEG files. To my horror and then I discovered that no other tool can edit the MPEGs. Windows Media Player can -play- the MPEGs, but nothing can edit...

Dishonest company

Do not buy anything from Pinnacle. Their software deceptively leads you to believe that you need to purchase further programs to burn DVDs. I did so and got incorrect activation codes twice before requesting a refund which they have refused to give even though the product does not work and meets their advertised return policy. I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive trade policies and knowingly offering defective products....

Video editing is not as simple as it looks like.

Video editing is a little more complex than one thinks.Video and audio will go out of sync no matter what software you will use. What happens is that quartz clock on sound card fluctuates in frequency. More expensive sound cards are more expensive for a reason. Those sound cards have better components and sync problem is minimized (not eliminated) resulting in smaller audio video sync problem. One can notice audio sampling rate fluctuations when capturing video in great program called virtualdub...

Audio sync can be a problem

Note from the other reviewers that audio and video sync is a matter of luck with this product. Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones. With all my VHS video tape captures I saw good audio/video sync at the beginning of the tape and up to 4 seconds out of sync at the two hour mark.I have a recent Intel 925XECV2 mother board, 3 GHZ Intel Pentium,2GB memory, and 200 MB Western Digital drives. I am running Windows XP SP2 with updated motherboard and Pinnacle drivers. Still no luck.I did try the...
