rgibbons I'm not sure if you were directing your reply to me or not but I'm not running trichannel Ram.  I have 4 sticks of 2 GB each. 

I have been wondering the same thing.....???

I have the Canon HG 20 which produces AVCHD files.  I have not had any problems with Studio 14 editing them.  I also have the Q6600 quad processor, 512 MB video card with 8 GB of RAM running Windows 7 64 bit.  It's not a speed demon, but it works.

My computer specs (I built this a couple of years ago) - XFX nForce 680i LT mobo, Q6600 Quad CPU, 8 GB OCZ Ram, XFX GeForce 8600 GT (512 MB Ram) Video Card.  I have a system drive, a harddrive for photos, and a harddrive for video.  The video camera I have been using lately is the Canon HG 20 which gives you AVCHD ...

I am running Studio 14 on Windows 7 64 bit.  I haven't pushed the program too much though.  Haven't had the creative mojo lately  

I don't believe the manual was free.  I ordered the manual and it was an extra $10, I think.

Has anyone gotten the training file to download?  If you have, what is your opinion of it?  Is it worth the $50.00?  I would like some training on the plug-ins that are provided with Studio 14 Collection.

My opinion, for what it's worth - Studio 14 Ultimate Collection is priced competitively with other programs in this level.  Most consumer programs that offer some ''extras'' are in the $90.00 to $120.00 range.  If you have Studio 12 and it is working for you, you don't need to shell out the cash for 14.

Not to split hairs here, but if you have the Canon HV 20, it is not AVCHD.  The HV 20 records to tape.  It is an HD camera.  If you have the HG 20, then you have an AVCHD camera.  If you captured from tape, I would check what format you are capturing in.

Boris and Adorage installed to 14 with no issues for me.  You need to download the newest files for each and install to the Studio 14 folder.  There is another thread that details this out.  I guess I don't see the relevance of the sale price statement you made?
