Pinnacle Studio 18 review
We upgraded to Pinnacle Studio 18 recently, and wow I'm glad we did. We have the Ultimate version which is made to work with 64 bit computers. This makes a huge impact on the actual editing process, as everything is much snappier--adding titles, adding special effects, working with video footage--everything is much faster. So far it doesn't seem to make that much of aChuck McNevichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06352528396712675343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648995019765201686.post-10830126791366693162014-06-06T17:58:00.000-05:002014-06-06T17:58:54.384-05:00Scripting a Video DVD ProjectOne of the best ways to create a perfect DVD keepsake using video footage, photos and text is to write a video script.

For the vast majority of DVD projects, it is best to convert all of your video files to the mpeg2 format.
There are many free programs that will convert your video files to mpeg2. One of the best is a small program called Handbrake.
