I have used several video editing software products over the last few years, and whenever someone asks me which product they should purchase to edit their home videos it’s really a no brainer anymore. I always recommend powerdirector. Is it

Look, I'm not a super seasoned video editor. But I've worked with Windows movie maker a LOT, which is FREE, and also am a computer programmer, and that ought to count for something. First of all from a service point of view, add this company to

The program did not work on my Windows XP (had the current updates). The help people tried their best to help but the program had issues "saving" and would crash the system.

This program does not work with AVI files. It says it does, but it does not.
The technical support is cumbersome and unhelpful. They do not honor their warranty or support their product.
Do not buy this

I am a Power Diretor 3.0 veteran user and I downloaded the trial version 6.0 and absolutely love this program. I was able to manipulate my new HD files with ease and create some neat slide and movies. I will recommend this program to any one without

I have recently, based on all the reviews by the so-called experts downloaded the CyberLink PowerDirector7 trial version. It has all the problems you don't want!! I have a Thinkpad T500 with T9400 @ 2.53GHz running XP with 4(3)GB of RAM. It sees my

Good visual organizing system for assebling videos, images and audio. Excellent output format options.
Very poor menu system for DVD/Bluray formats. Frequent crashes even on high performance PC running only one application.
The s/w folks are not using

I am a PowerDirector 3.0 user and have had a wonderful time creating home movies. SInce I moved to the HD video need an update that would handle the new video format. I downloaded a trial version of 6.0 and it looks like will do the job for a beginner

I had to make a movie a few days ago, so i decided to give PowerDirector a go. It was easy to use, well integrated, interactive, simple. Basically everything you could ask for in a program plus some extras you didn't even expect. Good job

If PD6 is an upgrade to PD5, it has to be a hit.

a little pricy for what you get, but you can do some pretty cool things with the program. I like this version better than the last, it seems easier and more user-friendly. The tutorial section is helpful

My First Comment...
And it will be in favour to the excellent user friendly, flexibility and the brilliance of this program.
Many Editors like Sony's Vegas Pro are hard and complex, but this one is easy and thats what I like.
This site is great
Thank You

Phil, just curious, and feel free to shoot me down if you like, but did you have the video in the right format? And did you burn it onto the right kind of disk? Just curious, that could be part of the problem... *shrug*
reply by Phil777 May 20, 2009 8:12 AM MDT
I just downloaded the trial version of Director7 and loaded some 40 mins of video onto my new i7 computer. I added a few effects and created a file in MPEG2 to be burnt to disc. Having created the disc it played on the computer but not on a DVD player.
I then tried to contact Support by email but to no avail. I am a member but it still says I am not a participant in some rewards prog so click here. It then asks you to sign up again!!! which you cannot do because it tells you you are already a member. Duh!
Nowhere fast.

Its a powerful product. had some difficulty with it, and sometimes it didn't seem too terribly user friendly. but all in all a good product with nice results.

I have Power Director 6 and found it to be extremely slow. Cyberlink service is awful and I would not recommend their products. There is much better video editing software available.
