Summary: Sony Movie Studio 9 works well
Comment: I use a Canon HG10 which only records in HD using the AVCHD standard. The SW that came doesn't come close to allowing you to do much editing/DVD making. With this camera it is easy to copy the video files from HG10 to my computers HD then I begin using the editing tool.
I compared this to several others you can find on the net: Ulead, Pinnacle, cyberlink and maybe a few others. I can tell you, without a doubt the Sony SW is so much faster. That means I don't need a super powerful computer to do all the editing and making of a DVD. It also doesn't crash like many of the competitor editors. Cost is roughly the same and you have a 30 day trial period. One disadvantage is this SW is a bit more difficult to use--maybe it just has a higher learning curve. Overall I'm very satisified with my purchase.

Summary: Good but not great.
Comment: I have used Vegas for sometime now. We recently bought an HD camera, so I decided to buy Vegas Platinum Pro 9.0, because it says it can burn Blu-Ray discs. It can burn Blu-Ray discs, just not menu based Blu-Ray's. That is my big problem with Vegas 9.0. You should spend the extra money and buy Vegas Pro 8.0, so you can utilize DVD Architect 5.0 Pro.

Summary: A great inexpensive way to create professional quality videos & presentations
Comment: Product does a great job of allowing you to edit and create. Does require some practice, since it does so much. I would recommend Movie Studio 9 to anyone who is serious and would like to be able to do some creative and unique presentations and videos. The Youtube feature is very convenient.

Summary: Best Video Editing Software on Either Platform
Comment: I have played with them all, including doing a fair amount of work in iMovie.

Forget Ulead, forget Pinnacle, or whatver junk you are trying. Sony Vegas is easier to use, more powerful, rock-solid stable, features a built in "Show Me" feature which walks you through anything you'd want to do.

If you were locked in a room for one hour with a camera and software and had to make a basic movie, then walk over to the Mac and use iMovie. You'll be done with time to spare, and no headaches.

Once you have made a couple of movies, the limitations of iMovie will drive you nuts. Then, you graduate to Sony, and you never have to learn another program. It does it all. Intuitively and simply. Not as easy as iMovie, but substantially more powerful and worth the effort.

Pros: Very mature, stable, powerful and relatively easy to use, and cheap, considering all that comes in the bundle and how much you can do with the software.

Cons: Not as simple as iMovie. Only works on a PC.
