1 out of 5 stars Studio - Pinnacle - run away   January 2, 2009
V. Madapoosi (Saint Louis, MO USA)
I bought the product thinking I can do some editing, titles etc., and make the home videos look more professional. Was I wrong ? Every step of the way was a nightmare. The software hangs a lot, when it works i.e., after 8 or 10 hours, the product is not always consistent. Meaning, it may have some kind of DVD-error and will not play. All it will do is "Incorrect" when you pop the DVD or cd into the drive and will not play on a DVD player. I tried working with support and the answers were usually pointing towards a uninstall and reinstall, or install this patch or that. It seems to work because after putting so much time and effort, you want it to work. But, for no reason a few days later, it does not work again. It starts hanging or rendering and hogs cpu. All in all, it is the worst product I ever bought. Support is bad to say the least. No real support. I hardly made 5 to 7 DVDs or CDs - and wasted atleast 50 cds or dvds on the way to see why this setting worked or not worked.

Avoid this product or anything from Pinnacle if possible.

The best feature of this program is that you can actually work with individual frames. I record from my TiVo to my computer using this program. It allows me to totally clip out any commercials, it's pretty easy to do. The downside is that it does have a tendency to crash when you least expect it.


2 out of 5 stars Must have awesome computer for it to work right!   September 17, 2007
Troy Hamilton (Hixson, TN USA)
I think this program would work great if I had a better computer. Please don't waste your time using this unless you have at least 2 gigs of RAM, a fast processor, and a decent video card. Otherwise, you are going to be very, very frustrated.


1 out of 5 stars Sorry, Pinnacle, but I have to agree with everyone else   June 25, 2007

Boy, oh boy...WHAT a dissappointment I've had with Studio 9.1 and 10. 10 especially! It takes FOREVER to load, and CONSTANTLY crashes. It's so bad I uninstalled it and went back to 9.1. The first couple of DVD's I made (with 9.1) had me on cloud 9. I was SO pleased with everything; transitions, title making, menu making (LOVE the motion thumbnails and motion menus!!!) chapter stops, the automatic soundtrack making and the slection of music to use for it, adding text crawls, the logical interface. It is really an easy to use editing program. BUT......with each successive project, the program has become more and more undependable. Crashes, exceptions, etc. To this day, I have no problems with the editing capabilities. The big problem is in rendering the final edited video to DVD. That is where all the crashes, exceptions and hang ups occur. And, again, the problem gets worse with each succesive project. And, with each successive project, the DVD's have become more and more unplayable on my regular DVD player (hang ups, or not loading at all - even on brand new players), although it still played great on my computer DVD player. After internet searching for how to correct my burn problems, I have come to find this program is RIFE with similar complaints from COUNTLESS other users (compare the reviews for Pinnacle's program with those of Vegas or Ulead, and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I am SOOOOO sad and disappointed!!!


1 out of 5 stars Reprehensible!   May 3, 2007

The full install of the Pinnacle Studio 9 software crashed two of our top-of-the-line computers every time we tried to install it, necessitating nightmarish uninstallation procedures and re-installation with just the barebones "Compact Install". And even then it took a couple of lengthy calls to support just to get audio capture working. And they'll charge you only $25 a pop after the first call!

Now that we are trying to re-install Pinnacle Studio 9 after a hard-drive crash, we are told that this dreadful software is "no longer supported" by Pinnacle, though it has already crashed our new hard-drive on the first install and again produces no audio (just like on our first machine). But to be fair, we must add that for a mere $70 we can "upgrade" from this catastrophic rip-off and get Pinnacle's support again! Oh, what a generous offer!

We are definitely going Mac and anything but Pinnacle/Dazzle the next time we purchase new hardware.
