Conclusion

Conclusion:

While using PowerProducer 4 a number of things both positive and negative were noted. The main points are listed below

Positive:

  • Very easy for anyone to use
  • Simple installation
  • Works with most popular video and picture file formats
  • Intuitive menus and navigation
  • Supports input from TV cards and Camcorders
  • Good DVD menu templates and manual menu building
  • Plenty of useful disc utilities
  • Supports 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio
  • Video and Audio quality are very good
  • Supports both NTSC and PAL file formats
  • HD and Blu-ray support

Negative:

 

  • No subtitle support
  • No forward counting timer when building a DVD, the counter counts backwards and is not accurate

To sum it all up, this is what we would say: "PowerProducer v4 is a simple to use feature rich DVD authoring program that will allow anyone to take their video and picture files as well as video directly from a digital input device and author them to DVD with ease and very good quality.”

 

The suggested retail price is US$69.99 (Sept 2007).

Good review but I would be interested in seeing how it handles large HD video, e.g. >1 GB of AVCHD or .mts video.
