What our customer's say!

"Read the Fine Print!", Pinnacle's Serial Numbers and Activation Keys expire after two years.

This applies to all Pinnacle software, not just software downloaded online. Activation Keys bought online AND Serial Numbers for software bought in retail stores only work for two years.

It's in the fine print - which you can't even see until you rip open the box (thereby forfeiting your right to a refund) and click the "Yes, I Agree" button during installation.

If you have to reinstall the program (or any part of it) two years and a day after buying it, you will have to completely repurchase the software.

What's especially fishy about Pinnacle is how it will suddenly start crashing at 2 years after initial installation. My video drivers stopped working at a point, I'd later realize, coincident with the 2 year anniversary of my having installed the Pinnacle software.

In trying to fix the suspiciously-timed program crash I was mystified to learn that a number clearly printed on a CD sleeve was suddenly "Not a Valid Serial Number." The Activation Keys I'd bought online, and had on file, were suddenly incorrect.

I contacted Pinnacle, who informed me of the two year statement in the agreement. Here is an excerpt from their email:

"The reason you are not able to obtain a redownload of your purchase is
that the Extended Download Service was not purchased with your download
and the time to purchase this service has expired. Unfortunately, this
means that in order to obtain the product, you will need to repurchase
it."

Keep in mind - I was asking Pinnacle for no software. All I needed was a Serial Number and Activation Keys, because the Serial Number printed on the CD sleeve itself, and the Activation Keys I'd received two years earlier no longer worked.

Just something you might want to keep in mind before buying Pinnacle software.

"Pinnacle Support is pathetic... software the same", I bought this so I could convert mpeg2 files to divx... I've spent multiple HOURS trying to get the feature to work. Support is available on a VERY limited basis, and they don't know how to solve the problem anyway. They always send you a link to a faq that says the problem used to exist, but that it's been fixed... not so. Stay away from pinnacle. They make a poor product, and then want to charge extra to get support for it and try to get it to do what it's supposed to do. How do I get my money back?

"Beware", Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! I can't say it enough.

This is the first review I have ever posted, because I need to warn everyone not to buy this.

Only buy this product if you want crashes, frustration, to reinstall your entire system, poor customer support, and to waste a lot of time, lose a lot of work.

I have spent over a week of work time trying to get this to work, as a solo business owner this has cost me a lot, in both time and money, trying to produce a DVD for students.

Pinnacle should not be allowed to sell this product, and they should be embarressed to do so.

It won't even uninstall properly, after running all the uninstall programs, (inculding one you have to download) it leaves 43.5MB of files and data on your pc. Hah! try and delete those if you can!

"Pinnacle Studios Very User Friendly", I am by no means a computer expert. I recently received a digital video camera and couldn't figure out how to download the videos to my computer and make a movie with the software packaged with the camera. I purchased Pinnacle Studios and am making movies like a pro. Very user friendly, simple to operate and loaded with options for when I become more advanced.

"Buggy software, unresponsive support - stay away", I've used Pinnacle Studio since version 1.06 and it seems that with each new release software quality deteriorates more and more. Studio has severe problems capturing analog video (from Pinnacle's own capture card no less) and corrupts portions of video during editing / rendering. Support is horrible to say the least - after an email exchange where all suggestions were taken from FAQ I was told that my issue is redirected to "level 2 support" which apparently stands for "black hole". I've never heard back and further emails went unanswered.
The bottom line - spend your money elsewhere.

"BEWARE!!! Do not buy this software", This software will not do many of the things it claims, unless you pay for the $49.99 upgrade to "Studio Plus 11". I am running XP pro with dual processors 4GB ram and 2 ea 500gb sata drives and dual layer dvd writer. The software locks up every time i try to write to dvd. The included "Bonus dvd" does nothing but take up space because all of the features must be purchased seprately for additional cost. If you must buy this software buy the "plus" version right off and save yourself $10.00 (this software plus the upgrade is $90.00, the plus version is $80.00)

"Pinnacle Studio 11", My order was received promptly. I found it difficult to install and had to uninstall and reinstall 3 times before it installed the full program properly. Still having trouble with it recording onto a DVD+R or -R. Will only record to a DVD R/W and then I have to go to another program to make a copy onto a DVD+R.

"Pinnacle Studio Version 11 still doesn't work with Vista", I had Pinnacle Studio Version 10 with a computer with an XP operating system. When I got a new computer running Vista, the Pinnacle Studio Version 10 would not work. So, I bought version 11 that was advertised to work with Vista. It doesn't work. I can capture the audio portions of VHS tapes but for video, I get only a still of the first frame of each clip.

"Studio 11 does great job.", I previously used Studio 8 with fair success until it began to give fits and just quit working. I tried other brands which did not offer what I needed.
Studio 11, so far, is giving me the results I want. It is much improved over Studio 8. Sure, it may not be as sophisticated as some folks would like, but it is a sound basic editing program.

"This Pinnacle Version Does Not Work On My PC", Pinnacle version 11 does not install on my pc because the install disk is a dvd, which is not video that my windows xp will recognize on my pc. If Pinnacle goes back to cd install(I have version 10) on another pc) then buy it. Otherwise stay away from it. I threw out my DVD install disk because it is useless. Only a trick to buy a more expensive program.
