Oh another thing (which is not really important but i thought i'll just add it anyways)

Magix Movie Edit Pro 12 allows you to put the installed program (C:/Programs... etc) and copy it directly on to a USB Flash drive and then you can use the program on any computer without physically installing the software on that computer. (great for use in places like school, library, work etc). and sony you cant;

Open up the Pan/Crop window on a clip. Experiment with the buttons on the left side. One of them locks and unlocks the aspect ratio.

.. the only thing you can LOCK/UNLOCK in Magix is the time-line; this prevents anything your working-on "now" from changing anything that you have already completed.

MEP = Multi Editor Packaging
.. the Options are Separate Programs aimed at specific area's .. unlike Plug-ins.
1) Video Cleaning System ... not a part of the Movie Editor Pro.
2) KnockOut 1.5 .. a program for Masking Actual Images .. not a part of the Movie Editor Pro.
3) MP3s Codec for 48k sample rate 24bit Audio Encoding .. not a part of the Movie Editor Pro.
4) XYZ Depth & Rotation .. similar to AE when it grows-up .. not a part of the Movie Editor Pro.
5) PhotoShopPro Photo 11 .. not a part of the Movie Editor Pro.
(( need I go on T_T ))

.. the MEP has many things not found, nor is it available to the Public, and will likely never be part of Movie Editor Pro by itself -- therefor MEP = Multi ... sorry for the confusion; The Business Reference of MEP is Multi-Editor-Programs, not to be confused with one program added-on to another program added on to yet another program all working as one T_T that would be rather stupid and a resorce hog ( plus a complete waist of anyones time considering that you can only use one program at a time >_< )

I think the OP meant MEP = Movie Edit Pro (which it stands for in the Magix world... while here, MEP = Multi Editor Project, and apparently you have a different one as well).

I've used Magix MEP-10 for all my videos and have not had any problem with the import size limit due to the way I make my videos:
1. rip dvds to the hd
2. use dgindex to make clips and avs files
3. convert the indexed / avs files into AVI files
4. use the AVI files to make my video

This way, I don't run into the import limit, and I don't have to scroll through the entire dvd for clips for my video. This does have a lot larger 'front end' work to be done as you have to make all those clips and convert the files, but that's the way I've done it from the beginning, so it's second nature to me now...

needless to say, I vote for Magix, but as others have said, download the trial versions of each and try them for yourself - that's the best way to find out.
