Stay away from Ulead. It's crap.
Before you Ulead shills jump me, I am entited to express my opinion just as much as you are. Just because my opinion differs radically from yours is not justification for jumping on me. I am trying to alert the newbie to a bad piece of software. He is free to choose what he wants based on your recommendations.

First, my preference for TDA should be well established by now. Second, I personally would never use an editor to author a DVD.
That said, there are a significant number of improvements in "VideoStudio 10 Plus" and "MediaStudio Pro 8", I like the way they handle HD MPEG editing. Some might say that it is similar to the method Power Producer uses, but I think Ulead is doing a better job of it. (This is more apparent in "Media Studio") [The "Smart Proxy Editing"]
The "VideoStudio 10 Plus" is closer to my budget though.
As I have said, I use a DVD Authoring program to author DVDs, not an editor, but a video editor (like a good still graphic editor, Photoshop, Gimp2, ect...) can provide parts to make really impressive DVD menus, or bonus clips.
Products change all the time and it's not fair to keep blaming a company for a "dog" in their past. (Examples like "MyDVD", aside.)

I've used it. And it is broken. Even after running the clips thru Video ReDo, Movie Factory choked on them.
It works most fo the time, but that is not good enough. I am surprised that you would tolerate such poor performance.

Are you saying that Ulead has a newer Movie Factory that actually works?

I have used ver. 3, and now ver. 4. The program has worked great for me. I use it to join video clips together and make menu's. Also, it is great for editing TV programs, removing commercials, and adding chapter menu's.

I am so happy for you. You never ran into a clip that caused MF4 to go into a blank stare. Such clips exist, even ones that have been conditioned by Video ReDo. One of them was so bad that I had to redub it to DVD so I could work with it.
When I wrote tech support all I got was lame excuses about how difficult this technology is, and a long-winded lecture about copyright infringement. The whole thing sounded like it was coming from a garage shop.
Has anyone ever looked into what Ulead really is? Not what they claim to be - that can be easily faked.

Actually, several of us pointed out the non-compliance of his files well over a year ago.

I was able to use Video ReDo and TDA successfully.
