MF3 Review

[sk]

Having used MF3 for a few months, I can't say that it's great. Problems have been: strange hangs and crashes in slideshow manufacture; disc drawer refusing to open (only with MF3) and having to be rebooted after some operations; slideshow duration being different to that displayed; dialogue boxes always coming up when they have been ticked 'Do Not Show'; saving disc image files in a strange non-iso format by default; useless label printing for jewel cases (eg the DVD case template is too big!) and a lot of lag time when refreshing pages. This is with a 3GHz P4 1GB RAM and FX5900. It burns discs well and has good menu options, and overall I like it in some ways, but ULEAD should test it more thoroughly, as this level of bugginess has put me off quite seriously. I have had to reinstall it a few times too, which is pretty poor.
