My thoughts:
Sounds interesting and I'm wondering if this is the next path for DVD Workshop as well. The new 'InterU-Cor-L-Video" company will somehow need to combine and eliminate redundant products or product capabilty.

Sarcasm On:
Pricing to be announced. But don't worry, if you just bought MF5 and upgraded to MF5 Plus it will cost you more than buying a full brand-new package.
Sarcasm Off
(Sorry folks, but I am still upset since I have not heard back from customer service on the "screw-you" upgrade pricing for MF5 Plus.)

Maybe, maybe not.

BTW, it should be "Corel InterVideo Ulead".

The price will not be announced so soon. It's only a technology preview of DVDMF Studio Pro Edition at the Microsoft session.

OK, I'll give it one more try. Just in case that doesn't work, my original case number was #7149 if you would like to pass that on to someone. Thank-you.

Well H.T., I've tried 2 more times to contact customer service (from 2 different email accounts) and have gotten NO reply - no auto response, which I have NEVER gotten by the way, or a "personal response". Neither of my email accounts pre-filters junk mail, I do it myself, so it's not the reply getting lost. I am either being ignored or something is broken on the ULEAD end. Could you please have someone look? Thanks.
