"I regret buying"
This product is a an absolute GARBAGE, RUBBISH !!!!
Do not buy it or you will regret.

"You'd think after 2 years it'd be put right,
but no!"
Studio 9 was released upon the world in 2003.
Studio 9 Plus was released upon the world in 2004.
Now Studio 10 is being released in 2005, and guess
what is still in Studio 9? Yes--right. Many of the
same bugs that were in Studio 9 back in 2004. For
that matter, some of these same bugs were in Studio 8.
Bugs such as audio-video synchronisation misalignments.
Bugs such as dropped audio during capture. Bugs such as
MicroMV capture still not properly supported (OOS problems),
even though the box clearly specifies that it should
capture MicroMV as-delivered. Bugs such as rendering
that hangs repeatedly, or renders successfully but
spits out a disc image that is too large to fit on
the disc. Maddenning.
Does anyone think that Studio 9 will be fixed now that
Studio 10 has been announced? To answer that question:
Was Studio 8 fixed after Studio 9 was released?
Pinnacle hasn't released good software since Studio 7.
Tony Hayes October 23 2005, 20.57 BST
"The buggiest software ever!"
I have both Studio 8 and 9 installed on 2 machines.
Both versions are buggy, unstable, and most frustrating.
They have been upgraded to the latest verions, but this
doesn't help. I have spent hours and hours trying to get
it to work. Avoid it like the plague.

"Too Buggy"
Pinnacle 9 hangs both of my computers in different
ways. It is not useable.
Alvin Way October 20 2005, 20.45 BST
"It is the most disappointing software I have
ever purchased!!!"
I have been trying for weeks to get one dvd.
I am still trying. It hangs during rendering
and utilizes 100% of cpu constantly. They claim
they fix the cpu problem with the upgrade. NOT!
Do not waste your time or your money. No matter
how cheap it is.

"Easy to edit files. Pain to capture or
configure finish product"
I've never been so frustrated with a product.
I love how easy it is to edit & learn how to edit,
but the lockups and troubles during capture and final
file creation is not worth it! Constant issues after
issues and absolutely NO support
Alex Trump October 08 2005, 03.55 BST
"Piece of junk"
Simply does not work. Constantly crashes on an out-of-box
Dell Dimension 9100 with 4G RAM.

"Great idea if it would work for all recording
scenarios"
I have had trouble from the first time I started
using Studio 9. It's been one failed call or email
contact to support after another. Support doesn't
know what they're doing. They have scripts they follow
and don't know how to troubleshoot.
The support line repeats their fixes like they don't
even hear you or read what you're telling them the
problem is.
Great idea for a product, but if you can't get the
support you need, it's a worthless product.
I want my money back.

"In the tradition of other Pinnacle products"
I don't know how this company survives.
James Dumas September 23 2005, 19.48 BST
"No support at all"
I purchased activation keys for Dolby Digital,
MP3 and MPEG4 encoding/decoding. I had to replace
my hard drive and re-install everything. I can not
activate keys and get no response from their support.
I have e-mailed them 4 times and still no response.
Do they even have support. I will not buy the keys
again.

"There is more to life than trying to
Get Pinnacle to Work !"
Total waste of time, great product if it
would only work. Support is useless, they
must make more money out of support than
selling the product. I'm surprised there
is not a class action in the U.S. I've put
it down to experience and can spend my life
doing better things. By the way I work in IT
so I know junk when I see it.
Mike peters September 14 2005, 11.06 BST
"Great idea - lousy execution"
It just doesn't work: I have installed it
on 2 state of the art high end machines and
it crashes every time - especially during
rendering. Version 9.4.3 is really, really bad.
The support people are very slow in responding.
I am now going to use the Adobe Suite which is
harder to use but does work. Apparently !
"Hangs hardware or reboots system"
I bought the hw/sw combo. Really have not had much
chance to use the software as the hardware likes to
lock up the system when doing a dv capture. If it
doesn't hang the hardware then I either get a software
hang or a reboot. Support had suggestions of how to fix
everything except the pinnacle stuff. For the few moments
it sometimes works, it lloks good. I will buy another
firewire adapter this weekend and remove this junk.

First of all the Url you posted is no active. Second the negative
posters you find are usually to lazy to do the things needed to make a
program work and can only find the time to bitch rather than ask for
help, even if they probably would not use that help. Again, Pinnacle
Studio works for thousands of users period. Get a life and learn how
to post the problems you have rather than a general bitch.

I always get a kick out of people who respond in threads only to call the OP
a troll.
Unfortunately the OP is correct here. You don't have to like it. Or respond
to it. |
