Nero Burning ROM must be the de facto CD/DVD burner, and with very good reason. When I upgraded to v6 I thought it was time to put my old 8mm home movies onto DVD, and Vision Express appeared to be the ideal no-cost option to do this. However, the editor part of NVE is a complete POS. It won't control my DV camera, playback of DV in the editor window runs at about ONE frame per second on my P3 1.2GHz laptop (well above the minimum spec) and only just plays OK on my P4 2.5GHz desktop, it takes 40 minutes to render a 6 minute sequence with just a few edits and mixes in it (WinDVD creator that came free with my very cheap firewire/usb2 pci card renders the same material in REAL time - i.e 6 minutes), and to cap it all, the one edited sequence I've managed to create with this POS was mangled completely when rendered, the edits used material from completely the wrong places in the source material.
As if this wasn't bad enough, I've tried using Ahead's tech support. This certainly reflects even more badly on Ahead than the useless software itself does. All I get from them is moronic responses to one or two questions and pointedly no response at all other questions. For instance, apparently my capture card is not supported. Huh! My 'capture card' is a firewire card, and a firewire card is one of the stated system requirements.
If anyone wants to see the full, sorry, 'dialogue' with this so-called tech support, I'll gladly post the whole lot here. Just ask, PLEASE ;-) |
