Both Corel DVD MovieFactory 6 Plus and NTI Media Maker 8 come with a variety of utility programs. Fortunately, they also both come with a program launcher that provides a convenient central interface for opening the particular app that you need .
For some reason, Movie Maker’s launcher is a major resource hog, using over 100 MB of memory in Windows XP, even when it’s just sitting in the background not doing anything.
DVD MovieFactory’s resource requirement is much more realistic, taking up about 8 MB of memory when it’s in the background awaiting use.

I think if you're going to compare these products then you should compare the quality of the video that is burned on the disk. There is often substantial differences in the final burned DVD.
Good review of these two software packages. These are retail packages and yup dvd quality can differ but it's retail not professional software. I would LOVE to see a review on Proshow Producer from Photodex.com. I know this isn't a video review site but if TOM's can put a little more emphasis on video hardware/software I would like it. Judging from the comments tho, us "video guyz" are a rare breed. Nonetheless, good and informative review Anthony!
