HORRIBLE PROGRAM!!

Spent hours editing, then was never able to actually create DVD's. This program is full of bugs, after days of trying to create DVD's all that I received were errors. Horrible customer support. AVOID THIS PRODUCT AT ALL COSTS!!

Avoid at all costs!!! Buggiest program I've ever used.

I bought Power Director 4 in May 2005. I loved it and made many projects with it. It is slow and so simple that after awhile you wish for something more to mess with but for the cost it was an incredible program.^M

Don't do it!

Believe it, believe it, believe it! This program is rough and almost useless. I have installed it on a beefed up Dell as well as some other computers to make sure it was the program and not my computer. It is the program. This uses almost all of your resources on your computer and LOCKS UP, SHUTS DOWN, LOCKS UP, CORRUPTS FILES, AND LOCKS UP !!! It is the most frustrating thing ever. You are constantly saving your work and re-opening the program. It takes 5 minutes each time to shut is down and open it up. Their help is is non-existent. You have to email them and they will tell you each time that it can take up to 3 days to respond. Also, it is a canned response that sometimes doesn't even come close to addressing the question you asked. Is there and online update of fix to download? NO! To make it function, you have to shut down all other programs such as internet, firewalls and antivirus software as well as set your monitor setting to a lower resolution. Just what you want when you are making films and looking at photos right? As you tell the program to perform tasks you will have to go very slowly. If you get proficient and move too fast it will just lock up. I made files and saved them on one computer, installed the program on another computer and guess what? When I tried to open my saved files it gave me errors and won't open its own file. More hours lost. This program does exactly what you would expect (if it worked) it to do and nothing more. It is easy to use because it does not do that much. Oh, this is great, if you would like to save your work as the best quality output, just hit the button to produce it and it will give you a link to purchase more software to accomplish that task BECAUSE IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SOFTWARE! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!^M
