AskWoody LoungerI have used Pinnacle Studio in the Past and I have it on an XP machine I still use. It is a good Program. I use Pinnacle Studio with a WIN XP Computer, because WIN XP is compatible with older Mini DV Camcorders (some older CAMCORDER HARDWARE not compatible with WIN 7). I now use Cyberlink Power Director 14. It does multiple cameras, (several), Hi Def, 4K and 3D. Excellent program. If bought as a package deal as I did, you get Power Director 14, Color Director 7, Audio Director 6 & a Screen Recorder. I also got a DVD copy sent to my home. All this for 154 bucks. Worth every penny. If sections of your video are too dark or has other problems, or audio is too low in volume, Power Director14 will evoke Color Director 7 or Audio Director 6. You fix what is wrong using MANY TOOLS within these programs & then Power Director 14 will import the corrected file back into the main program. Tons of support available by watching Video Tutorials from Cyberlink AND MANY Tutorials on YouTube. I highly recommend this program. I’ve been editing video for more than 15 years. I have been hired to record Weddings over the years. Cyberlink Power Director 14 is the best program I have found to perform the task of Editing and Creating Videos that look like a professional made the video. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I hope it helps some of you who are unsure of which program to invest in to make your Videos. Raymond Ste Marie.

AskWoody LoungerI found an easier way to clear the memory build up in Firefox than Berton uses (He uses the
Task Manager). I installed the ADD-ON called Memory Restart. After installation of the add-on, a small green circle will appear just to the right of the address bar (you may have to manually get it there by clicking on the “Menu” Tab (top / right side of the page) in Firefox, then click on the Customize tab. I forgot if it got there by itself, or I put it there). It will turn red when a certain amount of memory has built up in the Browser. The amount that changes the circle to red can be adjusted by the user. When you click on the circle, a dialog box appears asking you if you want to restart Firefox. Click OK and Firefox will close & restart with all the web Pages re-loaded that were open before you restarted Firefox.
