Wow, looks like I'm not alone in my pissedoffedness of Pinnacle Studio 9. The board is easy enough to install, and I got no complaints about the 1.2Gig of software you have to load before you fire this tool up, but I do have a HUGE problem with the 69Mb "patch" you have to download from Pinnacle's website in order to make this product semi-functional. Yes, sixty-nine meg, and it WILL NOT WORK without it!I have been able to successfully render short clips of 5 minutes or less in decent quality, but as another reviewer wrote this product is useless for creating DVDs in any length. Maybe if you're running a Cray or something you might be able to make this work, but as it is Studio 9 is way too unstable, and the DVD authoring process is just too damn slow, even on a 3.2G P4 with 2Gig of memory.Sorry, I cant tell you what to buy instead, I can only tell you that you wont be happy with Studio 9. At under $80 it's cheap for a reason.
