1 stars (Don't Waste your Time or $$$) - I have used the old Version Videowave 5. I made several productions with it and burned them on to a DVD. There were some problems, but not many, and the DVD's worked. I upgraded to Videowave 7 thinking it would work just as well.
Well, Videowave 7 has many nice features, and in some ways is easer to use than Videowave 5. However, the program is loaded with bugs or bad code. It just does not work correctly. Support for this program is worthless.
So, save your time and $$ and buy something else.
1 stars (This program is terrible!!!) - I thought this program was great for about an hour. I left it alone overnight to burn because it was taking FOREVER to burn a DVD, and my otherwise perfect computer died inexplicably in the middle of the night. After 200 dollars to replace my motherboard and a huge fried hard drive, I have reinstalled not thinking it had anything to do with this program. Now my computer is "fixed" and it has crashed after this program froze for the 50th time. DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!!! I don't know if this is what fried my hard drive or not, but I can sympathize with the others who say it has made their computer unresponsive, I am trying to uninstall as we speak, however, my computer will not even boot up at this point! In addition, it is very easy to use, but if you have any skills in video editing, don't waste your time, the audio options are very primitive, you cannot even edit audio in the menu. Don't waste your time or money! Buyer beware!!!
4 stars (Great tool for home videos) - I don't get all this moaning and complaining about this product. I installed it with no problems and found it extremely easy to use. I have Windows XP on a Athlon 2Ghz. One would have to be completely computer-illiterate not to pick up this software and be able to use it with ease. It even comes with a DVD burning tool,DVD playing software, DVD label creator and a video capture tool. It has nice touches, like a lot of effects and transitions and it's even possible to do some color correction of brightness/contrast/RGB. It also has two modes: Timeline and Storyboard, and it's very easy to add/edit video and audio and setup chapter on the DVD builder tool. Don't get me wrong, it's not a professional tool (and for that alone I took 1 star off because the name of the product is misleading), but obviously aimed at the home video market, like birthdays and holiday videos. I feel it's the most complete product within this price range and I'm really happy with it. |
