Review of MyDVD Studio 6.0
Posted by James Fee in "SOFTWARE" @ 11:00 AM
"Sonic Solutions' MyDVD Studio 6 is the most intuitive application we've tested for quickly producing high-quality DVDs. Though its limited video-editing features will leave more-ambitious filmmakers looking elsewhere, MyDVD is ideal for users who simply want to convert raw footage to DVD without doing much editing. MyDVD Studio 6 is the core app in a line of Sonic products, ranging from the basic MyDVD Studio 6 ($69.99 direct), which includes MyDVD and CinePlayer (a software DVD Player) to MyDVD Studio Deluxe Suite 6 ($149), which adds a system-backup utility, CD/DVD premastering, and disc-labeling features. Our tests focused on the MyDVD authoring software. Like Ulead MovieFactory and Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD, MyDVD offers limited editing abilities. You can capture and trim scenes; add transitions, titles, and some special effects; and, in this version, adjust color and tint and employ pan and zoom effects. But there is no timeline view, and the audio mixing capabilities are very basic."
MyDVD Studio looks like a really slick package for most users. I would guess most people just want an easy way to create DVDs from their raw footage and at least for now, MyDVD Studio appears to be the easiest.
