(note that you may be able to store all your files on one data DVD, but that is rare if you are producing videos with more than an hour of content). If you have to make more copies or edit the movie later, you will have stored all that you need. * Copy all the original video and the Studio project files to one DVD, copy the final movies files to another DVD, then copy the DVD production files to a DVD. They are only $92 (You can get a LiteOn drive via NewEgg). * Make sure you have at least a 4x DVD burner as it will save you a lot of time. I encode all video video Studio to MPEG files (not AVI) to conserve on storage space. You will never be able to keep all the encoded video on a hard drive. Therefore, I use Nero Professional and turned my PC tower into a 4 DVD burner factory. I don't get many requests for computer-based slide shows. Unfortunately most customers want to see their pictures incorporated with Video on their DVD player. Then I use Nero to manage the DVD writing. I use Sonic DVDit for the final DVD menu interface and build of the DVD files. It does not allow for the freedom of production that I want. I don't care for it's DVD production tool (in 8 or 9). I teach video production classes and use Studio as the primary tool. simple enough, yet has power when you need it. I like the graphical interface of Studio. Studio 8 works much better if you change the image size for TV use prior to using them. not a problem for a few pictures, but it is for several hundred. The one negative thing is that you cannot preset the image time, therefore all images import at the same time interval. Studio (8 or 9) handles the incorporation of images relatively well. From my GL2, it works seemlessly via direct firewire. From VHS and High 8, I use a Dazzle (USB 2.0) to capture the movies directly to Studio. I use Studio to manage my video productions and create the final MPG movies. I have been using Pinnacle Studio 8 for over a year and now Studio 9.
