Good book but out of date already!, June 12, 2007
By
Daniel Benson (Klamath Falls, Oregon)
This book is pretty specific for the following post production programs:
1. Pinnacle Studio 2. MyDVD6 3. DVDit5
If you use these programs you'll find this book to be very helpful. If you don't use any of these programs you'll find that the step by step instructions don't really help all that much.
