Steep learning curve-but worth it
This software takes some serious getting used too which will turn off most people brought up on user friendly software but as for me I find this to be an amazingly potent tool for DVD creation. If I can think it up I can probably do it. If your willing to spend a few hours tinkering with it you'll get hooked by the prospect of endless possibilities

Good luck trying to use this
I bought this to use it stand-alone. I wanted more and easier control of my DVD menus than I can get with Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0.
I am VERY disappointed with my purchase. It is difficult to figure out how to do even the most basic task. The "Show Me" tutorials included with the software do indeed show how to do specific tasks, but there is no context to show how to tie these tasks into a cohesive workflow that will produce anything useful.
The quick stare manual included could be printed smaller, I suppose - if it were printed on a grain of rice. It is difficult to read and just as uninformative as the tutorials.
The interface is NOT intuitive. There is very little on how to use this product on the Sony website, and there is a dearth of information on any of the video editing websites that I am able to find.
It is easy to install, but that will be the last easy thing a new user will do with it. I was considering adding Sony Vegas to my NLE toolbox, but if this is an example of the type of product and support Sony puts out in this arena, I am going to pass.
Very disappointed.
