How do Ulead DVD MovieFactory and Pinnacle Express compare?

[Fred Stokkel]

Does anybody already have some experience with Ulead DVD MovieFactory?
If so what do you like about the product and what do you dislike?
I am curious since I want to buy either one of them.

Ulead MovieFactory, it's almost the same as UleadPlugin1.0, but now supports multiple titles, multiple chapters, menu background image, menu background music, and changes thumbnail of buttons. Output to VCD/SVCD/DVD. It also provides a "ToolBox" which can capture video, convert video. I like it most.
For Pinnacle Express DVD, it provide DV capture function, scene cut dectection (to be chapters), menu templates, and the powerful "Customized menu" which you can change menu layout, number of button, button border, text font, text size, text effect, and menu background music. Output to VCD/SVCD/DVD. It is not so stable and slow when it convert DVAVI to mpeg. Pinnacle Express also support photo slide show but after burning a VCD, I found the photo quality is so bad, it seems that Pinnacle convert photos to mpeg video to be slide show (so that is why they have transition effect? I'm not sure.)

For a not so pro user, I like Ulead MovieFactory more, easy to use and not bad quality. But I think it should support photo slide show.
