 Software This Bad Ships in a Box? May 28, 2008
Arch D. Robison (Champaign IL)
I bought and installed Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus years ago for a Windows 98 box, and more recently migrated it to a vanilla Windows XP dual-processor machine. That such unreliable software would be sold in a box amazes me. It consistently crashes at least once per hour on large (~hour) projects while I'm editing. I've learned to keep saving projects under new names so I can recover! Right now, I'm trying to render a 20 minute video, and it consistently hangs at one point. I've had the hanging problem in the past on another video.
The optional MPEG-4 rendering software (another $15 download) cannot generate MPEG-4 videos viewable by QuickTime. The annoying part is that Pinnacle was happy to let me pay $15 to download it, with no hint that it was no longer supported nor would work with QuickTime.
It popped up a screen tonight offering me an upgrade (for $99) to a new version, which reminded me of the adage "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I'm going to avoid the "twice" part and look elsewhere for video editing software.
Just don't buy it....trust me January 15, 2008

It just doesn't work up to even a quarter of what you think it will do.
When it does work, it takes to to the "pinnacle" of a project, then either crashes, won't burn, or will burn with very messy results and will make you very sorry you spent money and time on this piece of garbage.
 Great software, lots of fun. June 20, 2007

Studio 9 has a wonderful user interface that, although more complex, is even better than iMovie. Complete novices will have no trouble with fundamental tasks such as capture, storyboard editing and output to DVD, even if they aren't quite sure what really is happening. For example, by simply hooking up your camcorder and hitting the record button in Studio (which is intuitively placed on a virtual camcorder), the application will automatically capture video and break it up into scenes and put them in an album. I love it and highly recomend it!
Unable to get past registration page April 14, 2007

I downloaded a free trial version of this product (all 500MB worth) thinking that I could quickly install it and try using it to burn a video file to DVD. The .avi file was previously captured using MS Movie Maker which unfortunately doesn't have a Burn to DVD option. After spending about 30 minutes to install, I tried to start it up. I was immediately greeted with the product registration pages and was unsuccessful in getting past them. It repeatedly prompted for the product name and version, seemingly ignoring what I typed in... After trying about 5 times, I gave up in frustration and ended up uninstalling the whole !$#$@ package. What a piece of crap.

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.
