HELP can't decide

Post by AFPrincess »

Hi everyone, I'm new to this. I bought my first ULEAD product months ago and absolutely loved it. Now i have a new project that I need some guidance on.

My husband is going to Iraq and I need a program that I can burn DVD's and send them to him. I havea sony camcorder and photo's that I want to put on the dvd.

Which program is the best to do that ?

Please help :roll:

The major difference between MovieFactory and VideoStudio is editing.

MovieFactory is kind of "plonk whats on the camcorder onto DVD"
Although it is possible to do some editing it is very limited.

VideoStudio enables you to cut out unwanted bits so you can get a video thats more 'on the go' You can also superimpose text onto the video to add messages and titles and the like.

Obviously there is a bit more work involved with VideoStudio but it is easy to use.

Both programs can also create slideshows and DVD Menus.

I bought my first ULEAD product months ago...
I assume that was not a video program???

Ulead's product line is confusing, because they seem to claim that all of the products can do everything, and their web site doesn't have side-by-side comparisons for all of the video programs. :?

In fact, all of the video programs CAN do what you describe. Video Studio Plus is probably the best all-round program for most people, and I suspect it's Ulead's best seller. Movie Factory is also very popular and low cost.

You can download trial versions of the programs, or you order a CD with all of the trial programs for about $10.

Here's my quick summary of Ulead's product line-up:
Video Studio - Entry Level Video Editing with some DVD authoring.
Video Studio - Full-Feature Video Editing with some DVD authoring.
Media Studio Pro - Advanced Video Editing with some DVD authoring.

DVD Movie Factory - DVD authoring with limited editing.
DVD Workshop Express - Advanced DVD authoring (No editing).
DVD Workshop Full - Professional DVD authoring (No editing).
