Hi, I was doing some research on converting dvr-ms to mpeg-2. I came across
a product called Arcsoft Showbiz DVD 2. Now, it automaticly converts dvr-ms
into mpeg-2, and that's not even it's main function. It also lets you edit
and burn your video directly onto a dvd. It has an all new interface, cooler
text options, a dvd slideshow wizard, advanced file rendering, and a
customizable storyboard. It also comes with a free 15 day free trial. It
only costs $99.99, or $49.99 to upgrade. Your product costs $200.00, doesn't
come with any free trial, comes with a nag screen, and only does
conversions. My question is why would someone choose your product over the
extremely versitle ShowBiz DVD 2?
