EditStudio 5 PRO is different than many other video editing applications in this price range. It is a complete video editing package with standard windows interface, professional quality tools and results. It is a flexible tool that offers all types of standard and advanced video capturing, editing, MPEG2 encoding and Subtitling in one package.

High Quality MPEG-2 encoding

Because EditStudio uses one of the most advanced Mpeg-2 encoder, it is a great companion for DVD authors and will let you produce highest quality DVD files.
The Advanced MPEG settings allows you to tweak every aspect of the encoder - something you can't find in many other encoders or editors.

Fresh and Clean Video Editing Approach

You will soon discover one of the EditStudio strongest feature - the unlimited stackable effects and transition layers.
Instead of applying the effect directly to a video track, you can use the effect tracks instead.

This makes handling the project much easier and much more visually oriented than in other applications. It is easy to position the effect to the exact frames without splicing the video. It is easy to move the effects or resize them in timeline or even copy and paste them without touching the video tracks!
And you can even add key-frames to the Effects themselves, allowing for example for smooth transition from one color correction setting to another.

The package looks interesting however maybe someone can answer a few questions for me.

1. Is there AC3 support both for exporting and importing.
2. Does this support 24P from the HV20.
3. It mentions it uses the best mpeg2 encoder???? (Whats the name?)
4. Rendering engine, is it background rendering?
