without a doubt the buggiest and most problem-ridden multimedia program ever sold.
Do NOT believe the minority of good reviews here! Go to Pinnacle's own support forum at: http://webboard.pinnaclesys.com/read_forums.asp?WebboardID=1&SectionID=143&lng=1
You will find scores and scores of expert users with years of expereince and the most advanced and compliant PC's unable to get this product to actually successfully complete any of the basic tasks it advertises!
Looking at the reviews here you see a few suspicious glowing reviews that are very general and never address the real problems people, including expert users have. The great majority of reviews, from people who actually bought this peice of junk, show the product simply fails to produce.
Don't beleive just me, do yourself a favor look at the amazon reviews (whch show the software as almost the most problematic of any software they sell) or search the forums here where you will find people who do a lot of posting on video authoring and know what they are talking about all say the same thing: "forget Pinnacle studio 8"
Pinnacle studio 8 reviews on Amazon since my last note:
- Does anybody ever finish a project in Pinnacle Studio?, December 7, 2003
S"ometimes Pinnacle will be able to complete the project from start to finish. This is in my experience the happy exception. Something always goes wrong, and it is never a smooth as it should be. "

"Don't buy this software. I have wasted more time struggling with this software than editing video, and that's a lousy way to pursue a hobby! "
- Truly this is a triumph of marketing over execution, November 27, 2003
"All told, having worked in the software industry, I'm sad to think that Pinnacle would have the guts to sell such a dog of a product. "
