Verdict:

PowerDirector is packed with impressive features, but we found it rather unstable.

Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra

Compared with Adobe Premier Elements 7 (which crashes with anything over 10 mins of AVCHD files) and Pinnacle Studio 12+, this is the best video software I've used for editing AVCHD files. It's ability to convert from AVCHD to AVI for DVD generation (for others that don't have Blu-Ray players) gives excellent quality video. One feature I do like is converting older 4:3 video to 16:9 using video enhancement. PiP effects are good. Customising Disc Menus is not as easy or effective as Studio 12+. Unless you are willing to pay a fortune for video editing software, this fits to bill for me.
