Upon receipt of this product, I was concerned. The box was not in good condition and appeared as though it may have been opened previously. In addition, my order form indicated it was sold by Galactics while the invoice accompanying the product indicated it was sold by NothingButSoftware. I considered returning the product unopened. I did, however, load the software and have had no problems with it.

I downloaded PE4, and gave it a spin test for 30 days beginning of '08. I had a MISERABLY BAD EXPERIENCE with this product. I am running XP, but only have 1 GB RAM. This might have been the main problem. Everytime I tried to maximize the PE4 window, it would lock up. It does NOT handle my Sony M2TS files, though the newer edition might. I found a m2ts plugin, which is decent, but then I could work on only 1 clip at a time. 1 min m2ts clip, would take about 10 mins to process. It was very slow and useless. It seems to me these Adobe people are more concencerned with whatever features they can list on the package, rather than how well the program runs internally. Ended up running Super/VD. Super is a great FREE converter program, and will convert m2ts to DivX/AVI flawlessly. VirtualDub is a great FREE video editor. VD is cool for editing your avi files, joining, splitting, deshaking, rgb, etc. However, VD is not a DVD burner. Super/VD combo work great on just 1 MB RAM. I have edited my 1440x1080 m2ts files flawlessly with Super/VD. Once I get a puter with more RAM, I will give them another 30 days FREE spin, and see if they've gotten better.

The box promises to support JVC Everio format MOD, but continually crashes when try to use these formats. I have talked with technical support several times. They have offered one solution, removing a plug-in which didn't help much. No other solution is offered except converting using another video editing program which makes Premiere pointless. Adobe doesn't fix the bugs in their programs they only offer a new version that you have to pay for.
