 They wont let me give it Zero stars, so I have to give it one. October 18, 2008
If I can keep one person from purchasing this POS, it will be worth writing the review. I have purchased hundreds if not thousands of computer software and hardware products and this is the first time I have been compelled to give a review. This experience brings back memories of clumps of hair in my hands from the last pinnacle product I bought many years ago, apparently, nothing has changed.
First:
2 out of the 3 CDs will not mount. Unreadable. Checksum errors, etc. Tried on 3 different machines, 4 different DVD ROM Drives.
Then I go to their web site to download the product:
What a losing proposition this is. I can't even find the name of the product on their web site "Pinnacle DVD Maker Deluxe"
I finally find the product that was on one of the two bad disks and I downloaded it. 1.3GB Download, whew.
Then I install it, it asks me for the serial #, I put it in.... (BUZZER SOUNDS) Bad serial number. Checked it 10 times.
Another 30 minutes on google, finds me a support article on Pinnacle's site... If your serial number isn't working for version 10, contact us and we'll get you a new one. Ooops their tech support is closed. So much for that.
Try the hardware on another machine:
All I bought this thing for was to capture video, so I thought I could use the USB device on a 6 day old XP machine. Wrong. Doesn't work with Vegas or Windows Movie Maker, altough both try. Time out error. Updated to latest XP drivers. No go.
So I try to use the one application off the CD that did install on my Vista machine. Instant DVD maker or something like that.
This thing is really buggy. Lock ups, garbled video, etc.
Downloaded latest Vista hardware drivers and the program itself, no change.
I'll be returning it first thing tommorrow. Hopefully they will take it back, if not, I will be taking a match to it and pretending its a $50 bill, pretending I have money to burn so I'll feel better.
Later.
Bad Product October 12, 2008
The tech support is terrible. You cannot reply to any e-mails and the product DOES NOT WORK. Total rip off.

This is a great seller. We had a problem with the DVD Maker that he sent, so he shipped us a second one immediately. It turned out to be a problem with our computer. We have returned one and happy with the other.

We purchased a 'high end' Pinnacle product at my company many years ago. The product was a combination of hardware and software and the 'features' were described in a way that were very misleading and even confusing to the representatives at the company itself. We never could get 'analog' video converted as we desired with audio and the documentation included seemed to be 'chatting' along without regard to the actual abilities of the product.
I haven't used any Pinnacle products since, but I have seen 'DiVX' and other devices on the shelf at Walmart & BestBuy. I would consider doing a lot of research on these other options.
In the end, definitely buy from Amazon if you can!!

I don't have anything to compare this too, but I'm into hour 4 and still not one video has been transferred. Extremely disappointed. I've had to download mutliple patches, and I think that the equipment may be defective. I've spent hours pooring over the "support" web page. I'm hesitant to use up my ONE free support phone call. I will be charged for any subsequent calls.
