Hi

I have this software and I can ensure that even with this "patch"
there are a lots of problem so it is impossible to create anything
usefull. I will try to return both the software and hardware. Without
the patch the program did not start at my computer.

The program hangs often so I have to kill the application. Somethimes
it crashed and creates a crash report.
The output window often stops/hangs. The realtime output of 700-USB
stops also. Some project that have been working can not be played
correct anymore. DVD menus creates a lot of problems. The videoeffect
works randomly.

Note also that I have installed the software on a new clean computer
with the hardware that more then fullfills the requirement. The
support have not returned the issue that i have raised, I did get an
automatic mail telling that they will return within 48 hours.

Now I am looking for another software but I do not know what, it will
not be a product from Pinnacle for sure.

Best Regards
Danne
