Thanks Johnny. I wish Adobe would release patches or updates for Premiere Elements... incorporating new formats like the AVCHD lIte and burning AVCHD dics that the Magix update includes. You can almost quarentee that PE8 will have no support for new formats... they are always a few years behind the game... pity really.

Paul. This is true.

I have to tell you I was very happy that they added support for AVCHD-lite. I have a new digital camera (Panasonic DMC-ZS3) which saves video in that format. Now I have a place to edit the video.

All in all, I am very happy with MEP 15 plus. The more I work with it the more I see how powerful it is. Compared to PRE7, I believe MEP is just as powerful, if not more in some cases. And you get all the fun stuff too.
