Re: TMPGE DVD Author Pro upgrade

Thanks Alpha. I share your pet peeves and had not thought about or addressed
them in my earlier post. For a $99 product, they will be unlikely to win too
much praise or market acceptance given the current competititive offerings
in that price range. Hopefully they will eventually recognize their own
shortcomings and make a true professional product. Given their glacial
slowness in releasing major updates, I would certainly look elsewhere for
truly pro features. Now if they could just meld their technology with
somebody like DVD Lab into one dynamite product.......
