I am gearing up to jump into the realm of digital video editing. I have a new PC still in the box (Pentium D Dual Core @ 2.8 GHz, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 160 GB SATA @ 7200RPM, 256MB ATI Radeon vieo card, and firewire). I am ready to purchase a DV editing app and am concerned by all the negative reviews and experiences reported for Pinnacle 10. At another review site Cyberlinks Power Director 5.0 was given the highest review with Pinnacle 10 rated lower.

Any thoughts or comments of Cyberlinks Power Director 5.0? I didn't see a forum or bulletin board for this product.

I am looking to make family DVDs and some ametuer surfing videos, so nothing too professional. I would greatly appreciaate some expert adivice.
