Love it and the software, too.

When this blu-ray player arrived, I installed it and was prepared to spend money on software to play my blu-ray disks.  Much to my surprise and delight, Cyberlink software was included with the player!  The player works great and the software saved me a lot of money.

It took just a few minutes to get setup and running. There are lots of great features in the software itself. The customer service worked great when I went through Twitter to get one thing working properly.

Thanks,

I got S&T with GPS only a couple of days ago, but I am too excited not to write a review. I've painfully deliberated on a GPS device to get for over a year. I've been using S&T since 1999, and I love the software. You can find both addresses & businesses, and you even get the phone numbers! Better yet, the software is intelligent enough to figure out whether you are typing in a place or an address. You can even mix the two! E.g., if you type in "Taco Bell, CO" - you will get a list of all Taco Bells in CO! It is very intuitive and easy to use.

On the minus side, the software does miss the latest housing development - whole blocks of streets, even some of the ones that have been around for years. But that's a problem I've seen with all mapping software, so I got over that pretty easily. And yes, sometimes the directions aren't the best - but most of the time they are pretty good.

I did not have any problems installing the software or connecting the hardware (a USB cable plugs into a USP port of your laptop and a swap GPS unit - maybe a tiny bit bigger that a book of matches). I did not have to install the GPS driver separatly as someone else mentioned: installed S&T through setup, connected the GPS cable, and I was in business. (WinXP SP2 on a Compaq Presario 2108US - Athlon XP 2800+, 768MB RAM, 40GB HDD - the software needs around 1 GB if you install everything on your HDD, less if you run from a CD - but then it will run slower).

The GPS unit was able to lock onto the satellites even inside of my apartment (although it was a little "shaky" thinking that I was moving back & forth at about 1 mph even though I was perfectly still). But when I used it in my car, it worked perfectly well - 0 mph when stopped, tracked the speed well when I drove I agree with other reviewers - it isn't a good unit to use by yourself, as there is no voice guidance - you'd have to glance on your laptop or PDA screen all the time. However my wife drives and I look on the map, so it's not a problem for me. I found the unit exremely accurate outside in Seattle area. I followed the streets exactly, tracked accurately my speed, lat/long, altitude, showed time, showed a little compass with your direction. You can set the software to center the map to your position and/or rotate the map as you turn and/or "create GPS trail" - basically draw a blue line that shows where you were. I was very impressed with performance, even though this is my first GPS unit. You even get a little clear suction cup so you can stick the unit onto your windshield, and it worked pretty well.

The GPS hardware is Pharos iGPS-360 (nobody tries to make it a secret - it says it right on the unit).

You *can* use it with your PocketPC - but you probably will need a separate cable. (can be found for around $30). I have not tried that yet. Someone said that you can hook it up to a PDA with a standard cable if your PDA has a regular USB port, but I haven't tried that yet (I have Toshiba e740, but no extention unit with USB port - so I will probably just buy the proprietary GPS cable to hookup the GPS to my PDA). I will update this review if/when I do.

Anyway - I love the software (always have), and I love the extra GPS functionality - I was really missing it. I do highly recommend the unit.

I love this product.  It is much more than just network storage.  The advantage is the software.  It does backups, media server, apps for android and apple, remote connections, etc.  I'm very happy and I haven't even set up all the functionality I'd like to use yet.

I am 85% unfamiliar with all photo editing / manipulating software on the market. Yes, I've used it, but no I can't seem to do anything cool with it beyond cropping and resizing as needed. It's not that I'm computer illiterate, just that I have less artistic talent than most folks have in their toe nail.

This being said, I have successfully edited about a dozen photos with this and have really enjoyed myself and the results. I was able to change the color of a flower in one (this is a big deal for me, don't laugh) and straighten out some self-timer vacation photos that came out lopsided (also very exciting).

I feel that the layout and format of the interface is user friendly and makes it easy to find tools and options in a logical manner. It was easy to use the automatic adjustments they have included in the software and I feel they do create decent looking adjustments to most of the pictures with which I tried it.

I feel that this would be good for the serious scrap-booker or other hobbyist who needs to worry about the final quality of pictures. It would also be a great introduction program for budding photographers who aren't wanting to drop an entire part-time paycheck on software.

The software is as good as always. I was very happy to see that Symantic finally came out with a multiple computer version for those of us who have more than one computer in the house.

I like the look, feel, and performance of the drive itself. Having to buy your own Blu-Ray software is a bit of an annoyance, but since I had the option to choose what I wanted, I went all out and bought a great software package for it.

This is wonderful.

Tech help is great!!

So glad I have it.

I love this software, I got it to put on my 2011 MBP, and it runs flawlessly on it. I needed a Windows system to run for my job, and this provided me with that.

The installation process was fool proof, and all features are working perfectly. So nice to have a Windows computer just a click away.

Really like it that we can purchase software and just download it almost instantly!  Easy and fast.. and we had no problems with download and installation.  Does what it should!

And at a good price. I bought it around Thanksgiving. I was immediately able to download it and use it. No problem with product or computer compatibility. I would buy software from amazon again, if needed.

I received this as a gift for Christmas and I have loved having it.  I've been able to listen to more music in the last three weeks than I have in the last year.  I carry it with me almost everywhere.  I cant imagine having so much music or so many pictures that 80 gb would be necessary but you never know.  At first I thought the screen size was overkill but you can see pictures and videos so well on it.  (Its great to be able to say, "Hey have you seen the latest pictures of my family?" and whip it out and show great pictures to someone that's big enough to be easily seen!)
  The software isn't the greatest, but having said that it's not something that would turn me away from owning this player.  It would be nice to be able to manually enter the artist/genre if the player gets it wrong after downloading something, but again its just an annoyance, nothing more.
  I've had this for more than a year now and I wouldn't trade it for anything!  The software was fixed and I like it so much that friends and family have all gotten them because of my recommendations.

For a long time, I was hesitant about paying for software when I could get free or open-source software that would sort-of work for my purposes. This software is a good example of getting what you pay for, and also that the best incentive to produce a quality product is still money. Free software has its uses, but if you're really tired of trying program after program and running into all kinds of issues and limitations, just buy this software and be done. I must tell you that if you are even looking at this product for video editing, you should go ahead and buy it. You won't regret it. It handles almost every video type you can think of except .mkv. It's interface is organized, customizable and engineered to be very useful. I can't go into detail about all the features of the different programs contained in this suite because I haven't even used them all yet. I can say that the Movie Studio HD software will allow you to pretty much do whatever you want with a video to get it ready for posting online or burning onto a DVD or even a Blu-Ray video disc. You can even take washed-out old footage from VHS tapes and make it look 100% better. It's also great for putting time lapse photographs together as a video or making slide-shows. I should warn you that if you've only ever dealt with Windows Movie Maker or free video editing programs, you may be overwhelmed by Sony Vegas at first. You'll probably get frustrated the first time you have a specific thing in mind that you'd like to do but can't figure out how to do it. Don't despair though, just Google what you want to do, and you'll find out exactly how to do it, trust me.

This software seems to run very stable on a 2.9gHz quad-core system with 8GB of RAM. It will sometimes get into a pattern of crashing while rendering or even while editing a video, but running the program CCleaner to delete damaged registry files and Windows temporary files always fixes this problem. The last thing I want to mention is that you should be sure to go ahead and run everything that you install at least once so you'll remember to register them, since you have to register each program individually. You should go ahead and get that over with since the software will deactivate after a certain amount of time if not registered, even the extra plug-ins that come with this suite. Overall, I highly recommend this product for video editing, although I would advise you to get the newer 64-bit version if you can afford it. It's apparently everything that this version is, only better since it can use all of your system's available RAM, not just 4GB of it.

I just received this from my sister and love it! I installed the software without a hitch on my WinXP desktop (contrary to another reviewer's experience, the program Photoviewer appeared in the Start menu after the reboot), plugged in the provided usb cable and easily navigated the menu that appeared, first setting the date and time, and then just as easily deleting the 2 stock photos that came with the program and importing about 20 of my own.  The entire procedure took less than half an hour.  I now have it plugged in and charging, 3 hours to full charge according to the manual.  I'm thrilled with my new toy and new means of inflicting, I mean sharing, my nephew pictures with one and all.

Great software and easy to use. Product support is excellent!  Does exactly what I need it to and would recommend it to others. I have Windows 8.1 and did not have any issues at all.
