  Wow, big download… 442 megabytes.

  This program looks and feels ancient… go to Help -> About — Copyright Arcsoft 2003!?

    Ancient sounds about right, the reviews here on Amazon are from 2005, even then it copped negative reviews http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B0001YM044/ref=aw_d_cr_softwa…
    That's why its free…cos it's worth nothing…

  Being free is good, but it's one of those programs that should never sell at full price.

    Being free is good

    it's only good if it's actually useful… if there are other 'free' options that are better, then what's the point of bothering with this?

  This is a very old version 2003.
  I wasted a lot of time creating a video.
  When I went to the burn menu, it said that it had to burn it to the hard drive.
  When it came time to write the file to the hard drive I received the message "Failure Writing to Disc"
  A Google search found that this was a common problem with this version and that there were multiple possible causes and would be hard to troubleshoot. I applied an update to this this version but the error persists.
  Don't spend a lot of time on this program until you verify that the above error does not occur.
