CyberLink DVD Suite 7 Ultra

Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 Ultra

Advantages: Low cost, Good features, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Slightly buggy

is a clever "Smartfit" option for DVD. The standard choices are DVD LP, DVD SP, or DVD HQ. A full length film at HQ (high quality) needs over 8GB or a dual layer disk. SP (Standard play) only uses about 3GB. The smartfit option uses the highest quality settings without going over the disk size, so about 4.7GB on normal single layer DVD's. This offers a better video quality than SP and isn't far short of HQ quality. PowerDirector 7 Ultra can author to DVD, SVCD, VCD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray on DVD, and AVCHD. There are quite a few built-in customisable menu templates, and using the new on-line DirectorZone, it's possible to upload and share other user's templates and effects. I've made 10 films about 15 minutes in length, and 1 full 90 minutes DVD movie. Overall I've rated the program as "Good". It is very good value for money, as a lot ...

Review of Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 Ultra

windows 7 review

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: little too expensive

Windows 7 ultimate. This is fantastic. SO easy to use and looks great!!! I used to run vista, which we all know is awful, so i thought lets upgrade. Im incredibly glad i did. The home screen looks very clean cut and easy to use. I especially like the "hover" function where you hover your mouse over the open programs on the task bar. This tool allows you to get a screen shot of exactly whats going on with each screen. Great idea!!! The instalation was easy. Just follow the onscreen instructions and your flying. Anyone with some common sense can do it. The basic idea of w7 is the speed of xp with the features of vista. I half agree, it looks quite different to vista but there is a hint of it but it definatley is quick. I have not had a single problem with running w7, none of the ones that have been mentioned ...

Review of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate

Windows 7 overview

Advantages: Easy to use, Aesthetically pleasing, User friendly
Disadvantages: Not enough variation from vista, no desktop button

Windows 7 Review With the recent release of the new Microsoft operating system windows 7 many people believe windows vista will be forgotten about with its constant security alerts and lack of user options. The new operating system has many new features which I will run through now. Firstly the new taskbar down at the bottom is a lot easier on the eye as it no longer has any text whatsoever, instead Microsoft have opted to use just the logo of the software the user currently has running. Another improvement to the taskbar is the ability to lock items to the task bar which is a replacement of the quick launch system in Vista, this simply means that you right click click on the logo of the software you want to lock and click ?pin to taskbar? this means that when the program isn?t open it still has an icon on the taskbar and can be ...
