In my quest for compatible tools, I decided to give the supplied
ULEAD VIDEO Studio 6 SE DVD.

In playing around, lo and behold I got a surprise. It contains THE DVD PLUGIN which is basically the DVD Movie factory. Huh ? I was able to do the menu and burn part like the trial I had on my machine. So no need to buy the trial, I got it free with my DVD burner. Thats the good news.

I also tried the capture, author, etc...And was not displeased, but I like my Sonic Video factory better for that part.

Now the bad surprise. Can anyone tell me why it limits import of an AVI to 4 minutes or so ? I mean if I have a full mpeg file , 30 minutes , etc. it works fine. But try to get my 30 minute AVI in there and no dice. Why ??

I know it is over 4 gig, but file size should not count as I use a 120 gig NTSF drive for work space. Can't ANY ONE company get it right ?

Geeze....Anyone have an answer ? They already ate my JUSTLINK function.
