Last night, I grabbed my video camera and hooked it up to my pc to create a DVD of some home movies.
I haven't done this in a while, so I dusted off my copy of Pinnacle Studio 9, installed all the patches and started working. This program just randomly crashes - sometimes with errors, sometimes it just disappears. The product is not usable for more than 5-10 minutes at a time.
After doing some checking, I found that Studio 9 has a reputation around the web. It's interesting because people who review it give it good marks for features - even I like the interface, the organization and the features. But the crashes are so pervasive that I cannot believe they've been having the same problems for 2 years with this product.
I see they are coming out with version 10, but given they have never fixed the errors in 9, I won't consider the product for another year.
I have never seen a product so buggy - I can't believe they ever released it.
