Rating: - Nice but apparently dead-end product
I have had my DV.Now /AV for about 4-1/2 years now. I have used it to create videos from VHS tapes and MPG2 captures from my camera. I really enjoy the flexibility of Adobe Premier and the SmartSound Quicktracks has also been great for creating custom background soundtracks. I have then output the videos to MP2 and AVI for use on the computer as well as created VHS tapes and DVDs (though this has been very dificult and limiting). This product was really at the very start of the home DVD creation era and the DVD creation tools and MPEG codec are VERY limited.
Now for the other side of the coin. DV.Now /AV is a dead product. It was made by a seperate group in europe and when Dazzle was acquired by Pinnacle, it was dropped as very much an orphan child. Getting it to work with XP was difficult four years ago and now it would probably be near impossible since almost all the support sites have disappeared. Also at best you may be able to upgrade to Premier 6.5 but I doubt you can get it to work with Premier Pro. Early-on Pinnacle was offering Dazzle upgrade options (though the Pinnacle/Dazzle website never acknowledged one for DV.now).
