Sothink HD Movie Maker for Windows

• Great output, but can not save projects

  arnybarnes2March 18, 2012

  Pros

  Converted several types of High Def media with ease, speed, and reliability

  Cons

  Can not save your projects! Imagine spending an hour building a Blu Ray with 100 movie clips, arranging the order, titles, fonts, etc. Once you burn your disc and close the app, all that info is gone!!

  Summary

  Great if you occasionally burn a blue ray with 1-3 movies, but lame if you need to make one several small clips, since you can not save your project data.

• Does everything you need for a great price

  efox31August 24, 2011

  Pros

  Nice simple GUI, customizable output size and quality, option to design your own menus (or use a number of installed templates). Ability to burn your results, in blu-ray quality, to a standard DVD.

  Cons

  High CPU usage when converting files

  Summary

  The one word I would use to describe all of Sothink's products (I also use their DVD Ripper and Video Converter) is reliability: they handle any file you throw at them and the output quality is always superb. I must have tried dozens of video rippers/burners/converters over the years but these are the programs I always use now. My last project failed in Nero (after many hours of processing!) but worked perfectly with this program. For the price, you can't go wrong.

• Unable to test trial version

  frankthetank22July 26, 2011

  Pros

  Looks like a simple interface

  Cons

  You have to buy it before you can test fully.

  Summary

  The trial version isn't only time-limited, it also only allows you to burn 5 minutes of video. You don't know this until you go through the trouble of downloading, installing, and then trying to test it by recording your first video. Considering the fact that most video software programs have problems when converting or burning large video files, the 5-minute limit seems ridiculous. You will not be able to fully test this program unless you pay for it first. Don't waste time downloading/installing.

• good intentions yet extremely buggy

  forenzsickMay 25, 2011

  Pros

  the interface is easy to use and understand.

  Cons

  despite meeting system requirments getting the program to run on windows 7 is touch n go. there are major compatability issues, some with audio conversion [ specifically ac-3 ] some with drive and media recognition and very poor customer support.

  Summary

  Avoid this program at this stage in its development, its verry buggy. i tried it on various systems running different os and memory configurations and had no success what so ever. I did comparisons with other software that made similar claims and had success so i feel i was able to form a true un biased opinion. the unfortunate side to this is the poor customer support- slow response times, carelessness and limited options can be frustrating. there is nothing to bridge this gap so to be "stuck" with useless software does nothing for anyone.

• Great for 1080p material but not for 1080i material.

  ntf41January 6, 2011

  Pros

  Has all the features required to burn blu rays for play back on equipment using the Panasonic AVCHD standard.

  Cons

  Fails when the material to be converted and burned is of TV standard (1920*1080i @ 60fps), very bad artifax most of the time on horizontal lines.

• Not as I expected

  Pros

  There are no pros to this stupid exe.

  Cons

  pop out "using your favorite burner" after conversion. Doesn't this software suppose to do the next?

  Summary

  don't bother to try
