Hi Ole~Biker,
Thanks for jumping in. I had read some other newsgroups that said the
Pinnacle Studio 9 software is buggy. But if you and Snoppy are using it, it
should be OK for me.
My system is plenty big and has a DVD-R drive that I will use to write the
DVDs.
I'm going out of town for a while, so I plan to buy it in a couple of weeks.
Will post again if/when I have questions.
