Ok, I know alot of you like 321products and on the whole, they are pretty good regardless of their quirks. However, after trying this version of a All-in-One Video Capture/Authoring application, I have to warn you all that there are still many better applications available. First off, the Application is a resource hog. It WILL slow your machine down. Unless you get the boxed version, and 321 will charge you 8buks for a 1lb package, you're gonna have to "feel" your way through. The encoder isn't as good as the TMPGEnc and as such, your backups will look like the original was done on EP speed no matter what. It also has a quirk about DVD-R's. Seems the available disc space is lower than on DVD+R's. Why? I dunno but it could be a pain in the ass if your machine has issues with DVD+R. All in all, the $50 USD can be better spent elsewhere. Let 321 work the bugs out before giving this application a shot..
