When I looked this over very carefully I ascertained that I was not good enough on the computer to figure this out. I can do most anything I want on my computer but this was too technical.
 Great Product!!! July 29, 2007

Once I learned how to use the product, it worked great. You may want to have some knowledge of editing software before you use this product. I had done some editing in High School so I had a little knowledge to start with. This software has a lot of features and effects. I have no idea how to use them all, but my movies come out fine.
Won't Accept Video from Digital Still Cameras July 21, 2007

Unfortunately, this program does not work at all if you're trying to use movies taken on a digital still camera, because the movie format used on still cameras - Motion JPEG - is not recognized on this program, even though it is recognized on most other video editing programs. I was told by Sony to download the free "CODEC" file available online to solve that problem, which I did, but to no avail. It still doesn't work. Of course, Sony doesn't warn you about this problem when you buy the software.
To Complicated April 23, 2007

This software is to complicated for the average DV camcorder owner. After reading the full manual all I could produce on DVD was sound no video. I spend weeks reading and following the manual insturctions (poorly written) waisted 20 DVD discs. You need to be an experienced professional who understands how to edit time lines and video tracks and markers. I gave up I deleted it from my computer and the software sits in the box. This is not the software to buy if you only want to put your vacation videos form a DV camcorder onto a DVD. Try using Ulead Movie Factory 5 for slower computers or Movie Factory 6 for faster computers, it is easy to use and understand.
 Patience is a virtue...software not user-friendly April 17, 2007

I was very surprised to read the great reviews of this software. The software package was marketed to me as a basic, user-friendly media editing and DVD-making tool. I find few aspects that are user friendly, and quite frankly, feel this software is a complete rip-off if you just want basic editing functions (i.e. rotate video). I can achieve similiar level of editing that I need on my Sonic DVD software, which came free with my computer.
I purchased this software about a month ago, and have yet to be able to successfully make a DVD. It has been a time-consuming, frustrating process. Before buying the video, I did my research - on-line, even visiting a Sony store (I have a Sony Handcam). There were only 2 things I needed to achieve with the software - rotate video and add music to the background - additional editing features would be welcomed, but not necessary. Although the Sony representative told me that I would be unable to rotate the video with the software (which I now know is untrue), I decided to purchase it anyways.
Since I purchased the product, I have spent hours going through the tutorial as well as read through the 400+ page manual. There is definitely a steep learning curve. The terminology (event vs. marker vs. chapter) is difficult to get a handle on. After editing the video, including adding music in the background, the resulting rendered file only provides one audio track. I have attempted to fix by adding an audio track in the DVD Architect, only for the software to tell me that I needed the "full-version", which I would need to purchase. Why does a software package allow you to add audio tracks to turn around and tell you that if you want it on the DVD, you have to buy additional software? Hopefully there is a function in the software that I just haven't found yet that will burn a DVD with all desired audio. I will prob find it in 2 days - like I said, steep learning curve.
This software package should not be geared toward the average person who wants to compile home videos. Until now, I was a huge fan of Sony - now I'm not so sure.
