Summary: Makes It Easy But Lacks Options
Comment: Corel/Ulead DvD Factory is fairly easy to use if you just wish to do simple editing. Trimming, adding chapters, combining clips are all more intuitive with this program than the stripped down version of Nero. Unfortunately for half the price of Uleads VideoStudio, this program is lacking in more than half of the options. The creation of menus for a dvd restricts the user to only a few possibilities. This I found to be really frustrating. I searched for updates/enhancements on the corel/ulead website but this program seems to be the forgotten stepchild. After spending considerable time to get the movie just right, one then has to settle for some pretty awful menu options. So if you are just starting out at editing your videos this program will empower you through your first 6 projects but after that you will be forced to rehash the same menus and themes that were rather tacky in the first place.

Summary: Movie quality drops down after edit
Comment: I purchased Canon HG10 about one month ago. I took some movies and played them back via HDMI output of the HG10. The quality of the movie is supper.

The biggest problem I am facing is when I edit my movie with "DVD MovieFactory 6 Plus" and burn edited HD file into SD DVD disk and play them on my HD DVD player Toshiba HD-A2, the movie quality drops down to almost SD level.

I hope that MovieFactory 6 Plus can output edited file in ORIGINAL HG10 FILE FORMAT. So, I can transfer them back to the camcorder and play them with original movie quality.

I couldn't find any way to send this question via Corel website or email.

Summary: Windows Vista Owners Beware!!!
Comment: I used this product for a month on the recommendations of a video forum group. It was for the specific purpose of burning HD-DVD compliant videos onto standard 4.7GB DVD's using a standard DVD burner.

The biggest problem with this product is that importing files take a long, long, long time. Whether you choose your desired file from a dialog box, or drag and drop it onto the open Ulead DVD Movie Factory window, the program basically locks your computer up for the next hour. Note that this is BEFORE you do anything with the file.

It's not just with high definition videos either. Standard definition files also take a long time to load.

Technical support from the Corel website is basically non-existent save for some FAQ's and a users forum. Even if you click on the so-called "Technical Support" link it takes you directly to the FAQ's. You can't even get email support. I at least got that with Microsoft.

Looking through those forums I realize that others who use this product with Windows Vista have the same issues. The label on the box says "Works with Windows Vista", just not how well.

Hopefully I'll have better luck with Nero.

Summary: It's OK, nothing great, kind of buggy
Comment: I purchased this software along with Video Studio 11 Plus. It did get the job done but advanced DVD menu options would lock up the program even after a fresh install of Windows XP Pro (So all of my Menus are text based). Another issue that didn't exactly win me over was after editing my videos in Video studio 11+ I attempted to import them directly into Movie factory 6.0+. This seemed to be the most logical step, and even though they both work from the same extention DVD Movie factory will not open the files. I ended up converting the videos to Mpegs then back to Corel files. That added an hour to each DVD.
