Ulead

[Bill Scott]

I downloaded the trial version of ulead Movie Factory. I get a couple of steps into it and the system seems to grind to a halt. I called ulead and they lead me thru a few steps to supposedly correct the issue but without success. They desribed Movie Factory as a "memory hog" but had no other suggestions. Anybody else had this problem? Any suggested alternative to ulead that will allow me to create DVD's from my pte files?

Thanks

I am not a particularly sophisticated user. I use Roxio to create Cd's and find that fairly intuitive. I did not see a trial version of the DVD software on the web site. How would you rate the DVD software from an ease of ue point of view?

Thanks for aiding a baby boomer neophite!!

IMHO

it is not as user friendly as WinDvd

it will not run at my preferred screen resolution of 800/600 - it demands 1024/768 to make discs -i have problems seeing the screen- when it starts to do a dvd the encoding/ burning starts right away so if you happen to see a mistake you have made, you either accept your mistake or throw away your disk - expensive mistake if one is burning dual layer disc's

I wrote them with my concerns, got theusal form letter thankng me and then they sold the company to Sonic.

but if you are friendly with the software go for it -- when we first were given the opportunity to make dvd's with p2e, i made a ton of vcd,and svcd's using roxio 5 and 6 until i got a dvd burner. Other members also use it and we dont hear of the problems with Roxio as we do with other Programs.
