I got an email today from Pinnacle telling that the new

Pinnacle Studio 9 is expected to ship on Feb 16th.

Just in case anyone was thinking about buying a copy of Studio.

you may want to wait until the release of the new version.

Choose a video and piece of music from your hard drive, select an editing style and let Studio version 9 do the rest. With one click, Studio creates a professionally edited movie - complete with titles, transitions, and special effects - all synchronized to the beat and duration of the movie.

Powerful Image Enhancement Tools

# The new version includes: Image Stabilization - Fix those shaky handheld shots

# Automatic Color Correction - Correct poorly lit shots

# Analog Cleaning - Restore old videotapes

# Noise Reduction - Remove annoying wind noise, hiss, and camcorder whine

# Audio Filters - Apply professional-level effects such as Reverb, Echo, EQ and Prologic Surround Sound Controls

Hollywood Creativity with Home Cinema

Studio 9 lets you create a true home cinema experience through sophisticated audio and video cinematic tools.

Surround-sound gives users an intuitve control to place or move the movie's audio elements within the surround sound space, creating scenes with more dramatic audio impact. If you shot video in wide-screen (16x9), you can edit and export your movies for wide-screen playback, taking full advantage of big-screen televisions.

Yeah - just got the "come-hither" on S9 from Pinnacle. I'm going to hold off a bit, I think, and see how others report on it. I didn't see anything in the list that was a must-have for me. Now if they improved DVD encoding time, that would be a winner!
