I'm an amateur videographer and this software is perfect for me. I outgrew Ulead's VideoStudio program after a few months, but MSP 6.5 offers all the precise control and, more importantly, multitrack editing that more complex projects require. I run MSP 6.5 DC smoothly on a Dell Dimension 4100 Pentium III 866 w/384MB RAM and 16MB ATI Rage 128 Pro video board. I also have a second hard drive just for video footage; if you want your video editor to run smoothly, you need a dedicated drive to handle preview files.
LIKES: Instant Preview. Mulitiple tracks. Easy transition tweaking. (Few transitions are included, but they're the ones I'm most likley to use, not the whacky, distracting ones.) Device control is responsive and compatible with my Panasonic MiniDV camera. Ulead DVD plug-in included, although I don't have a DVD writer, just a CD-RW. Exports VideoCD and popular streaming file formats. Detailed help system.
DISLIKES: Batch capturing isn't very intuitive. (Adobe Premiere makes this easier, but considering it costs [price] more, I can live with this process very happily.) Also, you can't capture video without the audio. (Boo! C'mon, Ulead! Would it be THAT hard?) Like most software manuals, this one falls short; it seems to give about 70 percent of what you need, teaching you just enough to be dangerous. Finally, I expected the Production Library to be more of a "home base" like Premiere's Project window, but it's still helpful. I havent' messed with the Storyboard feature yet, but it looks useless. Ulead online tech support is slow to respond to queries.
SUMMARY: Spend four or five hours playing around with the program before you begin a serious project, and you should be fine. It's a lot fun, it's powerful, and it's a great bargain compared to the competition.
