I downloaded the trial installation, installed it and opened an avi file to edit. The editing was straightforward. My problem is that I could ONLY save the file as a Corel project file. After doing so I tried to convert it to ANYTHING else. Their batch processing would let me select the project and choose the output format (back to an avi file, mpg file - anything). The problem comes when it does not work; I tried everything with the same results - conversion failed. When I checked the help files, there was NOTHING that was applicable. Don't waste your time or money.
