Just installing this thing has been a pain in the butt... I needed USB driver for my modem, which does NOT come on the DSL instalation disc that came with the modem... -_- I had to track it down on the other computer, transfer it to CD, then bring it over. Then there's... Well, the DVD. Sorta like CD's way back when, DVD burning is not a straightforward thing... The burning software that comes with the computer is like a foreign language to me, and Media Center only let me burn 85 minutes on a 2 hour DVD... That's 35 minutes I'm missing... I want that back... Also, it appears that merely being readable on media player doesn't mean it can be put on the DVD... For one thing, some low quality stuff is even worse quality on the DVD (while some stuff, like my digicam stuff, really crappy in the computer, is just the same on the DVD)
The All-in-wonder card, as I've been oggling it but haven't been able to use it, comes with Premiere Elements 2.0... I didn't even know they made an elements for premiere, but I suppose that comes with Adob'es normal elements restrictions (can't sell stuff I edit in premiere, have to do it on Movie Maker I guess)
I didn't realize Premiere comes with basic Authoring software... Maybe Premiere elements is a combo of Premiere and Encore??? I don't know... I'm still a total noob here... Anyhow, I worked around some problems after I got mad at the problems and looked at it as something fun to do, and I'm happy now. ^_^

unfortunately blank DL discs still run from $3-6 each compared to the $.60-$1.25 for a single layer DVD-/+R
