At the following, it says that Blu-Ray and 'Web' aren't supported? Is this true?

http://video-editing.findthebest.com/compare/33-41/CyberLink-PowerDirector-10-vs-Adobe-Premiere-Elements

It says that 'Hi Definition' is supported but ... what does that mean?

Also, I don't understand what it means by 'web' not supported -- the various video-sharing web sites (you tube, Flickr, DailyMotion, etc.)?

BTW, I'm in the process of determining which video editing s/w to use -- PD 10, Adobe PE, Sony Vegas, etc. Wondering what the user base is in all of these (I read the reviews on PC Mag so... am leaning towards PD 10 and will use their free trial soon -- used Adobe PE's free trial over the weekend). I like the idea of faster capturing, rendering, etc. w/ PD but am wondering about PD's future, user base, and the above items (Blu-Ray and 'web' export support) over Adobe PE.

Thanks,
Bill

This link should give you a better understanding,the website you posted is probably refering the deluxe version.

To avoid any problems I suggest you get the ultra edition for the blu ray support.

Hi metazone21,
The 30 day trial does have some HD limitations regarding importing certain file formats - reported on the forum.

For the Full version there is a 30 day refund policy. It provide an added assurance and confidence to try out PD.
Look up: http://www.cyberlink.com/prog/support/cs/faq-content.do?id=2317
And: https://asknet-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2215/kw/refund

30+30 = 60 days.

An aside, did you notice that the first link says that this (forum) doesn't exist? There is a red "x" by forums and by Knowledge base?

Even this "10 best..." compares the Deluxe (32 bit) with software that costs twice as much and still comes out on top.

Now if they had rated the ULTRA (64 bit) the others would come out below the chart !

Really as discussed above, you have to take reviews with a grain of salt. Try the software before you buy it. The best software is the one that runs the way YOU think it should !
