 Buyer Beware March 18, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been a contented user of Ulead Video Studio since version 7 but upgrading to VS 11.5 Plus has been a disaster to such an extent I have downgraded back to 10.5 which also has a few problems. What is particularly frustrating is the appalling support provided by Corel, where even a simple email gets rejected. I run this software on a 2GB memory system with a high powered Dual Core processor + over 300GB of file store. I'm not sure how much MS Vista has to play in the way the software behaves but by trial an error I have worked out you need a fresh update of Microsoft Direct X which does boost performance but doesn't fix the bugs. Video capture is very flakey. You need to babysit the system stopping occasionally so it can write clips into the program; having spend 5 hours downloading a 1 hour tape, I managed to figure out the workaround. Next, editing, great fun the software just hangs, no messages, just a little round MS circle going round and round, I never got to create a DVD; just gave up after three days. Also, beware downloading software you have to insure it after 30 days (its extra) my advice is buy a pukka copy from Amazon but down load this program first.

When I ordered this litte did I know that only MPEG video files worked. So, I convert ALLLLL my files only to find out that the quality has now gone completly down the toilet. It's a pixelated and everything.
 Crashing is no problem January 10, 2008

I have been editing video using Pinnacle software for a fair few years now, but recently decided it was time to upgrade my video editing software. As Pinnacle does not have native support for Dolby Digital Sound I thought I would try and find a package that did as I was fed up with the time it took converting audio to a format supported by Pinnacle.
While looking around I discovered VideoStudio, but not liking change (or spending money) I decided to download the trial software from Corel's web site. I am so glad I did as I no longer have to spend hours converting audio. My editing speed has increased 10 time over. Okay, the programme has crashed on me, but from experience with Pinnacle I thought I'd re-write the unedited film through VideoStudio (choose to export the video mpeg 'same as first video clip' from the share/create video file option after dragging it to your editing timeline window) to a new file name. After doing that you should be able to edit the re-written film with no further problems.
Just for information I use a laptop with 64Mb on board graphics, 512Mb Ram, a Pentium4 2.66 Ghz processor, WinXP Home SP2 and a 500Gb USB2 Hard Disk (for storage of original, and edited film). Not the meatiest machine, but it does the job fine.
I have now bought the full package here, and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival (although I did use supersaver post - as I said I don't like spending money).
Works For Me January 6, 2008

Over the Christmas period I decided, once again, to try and convert my old VHS tapes to CD or DVD. Again I was beset with many problems, mostly getting the audio to sync correctly with the picture. I decided to look on Amazon to see what was available to improve on the software that I had had provided with my TV card and DVD writer. I saw this program and downloaded the trial version, despite my misgivings with the poor reviews here.
After one or two installation hiccups, which were resolved by the FAQs on Corel's website, I was up and running. And, even without a manual or help file, I had succesfully produced a video CD within the hour. Next day, with no problems, I had a full length DVD. So, as it is cheaper to buy the full retail version here than to register online I shall be putting in an order.
To sum up, really easy to use and very stable.
 Crashed out January 1, 2008

Luckily for me I only used the trial version of this paticular upgrade, but found constant issues with crashing. The actual editing is simple enough, plenty to make good dvd's from, versatile and easy to use. Problems seem to occur though when attempting to burn the dvd which is quite painful after doing all the work!!
Up to yet I'v only got as far as the dvd menu making - at this point I get the pop-up telling me it's encountered a problem and needs to close! I find this desperately frustrating as for 2 years now I'v used VS9 to tremendous effect, even better than my attempts with VS10plus to be fair!
The software's cheap enough to try, and I'm not 100% sure the trial version is the full program, but how many times do you want to spend 40 on software to find it don't want to finish its' job? The 2 stars I'v given it is purely for its' pre-burn stage as this is amazingly simple.
