• conversion quality is too low
  Like many of you, I am no video editing professional. I just need a simple tool to stitch together the videos taken in my digital camera and convert them into MP4 format.
  The original format comes out of my camera is Motion JPG like almost all digital cameras, those files are pretty big. I was hoping by converting to MP4 it would save me some disk space.
  But I found the quality of the converted MP4 is rather low, the color is faded and some details, highlights are lost. The output bitrate is... more info

• Video quality is lacking
  If you care about video quality, might I suggest Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack instead? I could not get VideoStudio to give acceptable quality.

• One of the best products our there, well priced
  If you want to do more with your videos than just the cheezy transitions that come with Microsoft Movie Maker, it's time to jump up to a real piece of video editing software.

Depending on how deep you want to delve into this software, you can really craft some well edited videos. The support for AVCHD is especially appreciated since many new cameras use this standard.
