Pinnacle rebate warning. I realize this is not a deal however if we are warning of credit cards this is equal rip off

Quote from dprimc : I had an Office Depot rebate that had drug on forever. Finally I filed an online complait with the state Attorney Generals' office. Got a response the next day. Getting the $50 rebate and a $100 gift card. Still not worth the all the time and energy spent on this for the past 18 mo. but I feel a little better. The state AG complaint seems to get them moving to make things right in a hurry.

Thanks for the heads up. I am not sure I will spend this kind of time. I have given my side all over the web. They lost a lot more than my rebate at this point. And good ridance to them for it. Adobe is working just slick and was the same price since they screwed me.

I've done many, many rebates. I got my rejection letter yesterday for Pinnacle for the same reason.........."not a competing product." I've got copies of everything.

It's listed right on the front of the rebate form.

In the same boat here. Bought Studio 11 from Fry's back in May and got the rejection letter for Nero 7 (first page of manual sent in) not being a valid competing product although the form clearly states "any version of Ahead Nero". They're supposedly doing an 'internal investigation' and may reinstate.

No more Pinnacle for me..

can someone recommend a better more reliable product to edit Panisonic AVCHD files? if you can then i'd buy it instead of Pinnacle 12 (which i'm currently using). I've noticed that after i use the software i need to force my PC to shutdown. I've not had it work successfully without requiring a reboot yet... but it does do a sweet job of letting me edit & convert AVCHD to standard DVD & DivX

Look at Adobe's line of products. They have some great video editing. You can also look to Ulead video 11 (I have used this and had no trouble), Nero, open source (especially if you are linux savy). And many others. Look at camcorder.info? There is a ton of info there.

Or just google your question and you will get info

Where did this thread get stashed. When searched for pinnacle and pinnacle rebate it does not come up. WTH.

Well I got my checks in record time. BTW I sent in the front page of the manual from Studios previous version.

Quote from gimper48 : IT is not that great a product. Have you tried Adobe, Nero, or Roxios competing products they are much more intuitive.

No I have not, and you are probably right in that it isn't that great. However, I have used Studio since its first iterations (Studio DV?) and so it feels very intuitive to me. My goal is to convert all my DV tapes to DVDs to keep and easily view them. If you are new to video editing another product might be easier or better, but it is hard to beat the price for Studio... if you get the rebate. Good luck to everyone.
