OK,

My vista upgrade to my home computer hasn't been as smooth as the 
upgrade adviser has lead me to believe. I've had to replace a couple of 
important software packages, and have had to replace one piece of hardware.

Now, I've been asked to string together some video for a project my 
wife's school is working on, and I go to fire up my trusty Media Studio 
Pro. Crash just as it's opening, and all sorts of warnings about the 
program being incompatible. No combination of compatibility options 
seems to work. Grr, OK.

I think I'll move to Premiere Elements. From the looks of the 
screenshots on version 4, I'll be losing very little moving from a $400 
package, to a $100 package. I've been very happy with just about every 
other Adobe package out there, and if it's relationship to Premiere CS3 
is anything like Photoshop's respective packages, I really shouldn't be 
losing much, maybe a few of the more advanced video editing features, 
but it looks to be fairly feature-rich. All I really need is to produce 
proper files for DVD authoring, Titling (graphical, and basic), and 
maybe moving paths for some "slide show" type productions that I do from 
time to time.
