 Awful August 17, 2008
I am running windows xp, pentium 4 3.06ghz, 120gb & 400gb hard drive, 2gb ram, geforce 7800gs 512mb graphics card.
I have done everything the support suggests and it is still horrendously unstable. It crashes for no reason in completely random places, start up, middle of clip, pressing a button, editing a menu, you name it its crashes there.
Trying to do a 60 minute project is a mammoth task. The rendering would get stuck on menus stuck here stuck there.
When a program has some glitches that happen during the same process you can understand but the number and randomness of these has put me off pinnacle for good, ive had previous versions with minor instability but i found this way too much, for me im never touching pinnacle again.
Spyware galore June 25, 2008
I wouldn't wish this software even in my enemies PC's.
It doesn't even pass the installation stage. Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 complained more than 50 times that the instalation sequence was trying to run illegal processes, performing suspicious actions (for instance actions aking to rootkit installation). It will install no matter what many Macrovision related files (under the InstallShield folders). Macrovision as far as I remember was the company responsible for the Sony's music CD's rootkit affair.
The end result for me will mean cleaning my hard disk totally and start again by reinstalling Windows (XP sp2). About the actual job that this package claims to do I will never know because it will not be even close to my PC ever again. A waste of time, money and resources. Do not trust.
Shocking software. June 13, 2008

Why oh why did I not take notice of the previous reviews for this product. I am trying to run this with the new Core 2 duo 3.0 Ghz 45nm CPU from Intel, 2 GB ram and a Gigabyte DS3 Mobo. In a nutshell it is terrible, freezing, crashing and pausing. My PC spec is more than good enough to run this software, Pinnacle should be done under the Trade description Act, it is not fit for purpose.
Do not buy this package April 13, 2008

I received a trial copy of this software with my Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder. I did look at the reviews and was a little dubious about installation but as it was a freebee I decided to try it out. I wish I hadn't - the software restarts the computer when it has installed. There's no warning about this, it just happens. In my case Vista would not reload. I had to resort to the startup rescue facility to get back into Vista and even then the product had not properly installed. I tried a second time but with the same result. I had to use system restore to get to a stable system. My system is only six months old and is a top spec HP computer with Pentium duo quad core processor. I can't comment on functionalality because it never functioned. I have to give it one star because that is the Amazon minimum but it doesn't really deserve that. Currently I'm trying out Ulead VideoStudio 11 plus and that installed without a problem and did not try to restart the computer. The 11.5 plus version seems to have the HD editing facilities I'm looking for so I'll probably go for that.
 Check pinniacles knowladge base March 7, 2008

After 3 weeks of trying to get version 9 to work and with out success I see on there knowledge base version 11 they still have not solved the problem of CD\DVD drives being made useless until you go into the registry and remove the line or two of code they tell you to. How they can be allowed to sell a product time and time again with the same problem is beyond me. I am looking for an alternative to Pinnacle so I can do what I want to do and not spend hours reading pages of problem solving. I wish the CD\DVD drive problem was the only one with version 9 but its not. I have no faith with future versions from what I have read and will not be giving them any of my money for future versions.
