Serif MoviePlus 5.0 vs. Sony Vegas Movie Studio+DVD?

[Jerry Jones]

Serif is offering "MoviePlus 5.0" - a video editor with HDV support:

Notice how this software at $79.99 looks very similar to the much more expensive Sony Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition:

But the Vegas Movie Studio+DVD Platinum Edition costs $129.95.

What am I missing?

No Sony DRM spyware to mess up your CD/DVD drive?

Just kidding, but I am still down on all things Sony right now because of this somewhat recent audio CD "anti-copy" malware fiasco.

I, too, am anti-Sony because they flout accepted standards and procedures. They are always trying to bend things so that it needs Sony stuff to run other Sony stuff. You need only to try and command Sony DV and DVCAM cam drives from non-Sony software to run into trouble. And dare I mention the letters VAIO?

They are a bunch of ba....ds, on a par with Microsoft for their unethical behaviour.

[Jerry Jones]

Well, I have to agree.

Sony is not on my list of favorite companies, either.

Too proprietary.

And they've lost their edge.
