There are people with various issues. Which will be addressed in the
upcoming SP, I don't know. I do think the DVD issues might be on the list.

Like I said, the only program that worked pretty flawlessly was the
Amiga Video Toaster. It had to. Doing a/b roll with transitions, titles
and graphics was exciting and fun. Nothing like having to go back on
tape to re-edit it.
LE's price is great considering what you get. It's feature list is
pretty comprehensive. Yes, there is always something that you would
like, but at it's price point, it's a great product.

I haven't used the multicam feature yet. And as for FX, there are a lot
of them (I too have the Pro version). I basically use fades and cuts.
There are the few "flashy" ones, but they are few and far.
I haven't experienced dropped frames in quite a while (since the old
days of Premiere and the DV500 with SVHS). Most the tape I edit are
basically short with a lot of edit points. I have not had to "record" a
very long scene. That could be the reason for not having dropped frames.
I have burned DVD's since "day 1" with the product. Paul's tutorial is
excellent on the subject.

Lots to glean from his video. Lots.
