The DVD Rip feature worked great. However, I would like to convert the Dvix file to MPEG4. The Dvix Converter would not do this. That\'s my only complaint.

AA does greatly improve the quality of the genealogical reports I can prepare from my GEDCOM files. I\'m still learning but like what I see so far. I thought it might allow me to build reports where in I use nested PDF\'s with hyperlinks connecting them all. But it appears this is not possible with this software. Given that it didn\'t meet those expectation, which expectations were probably unrealistic, I am still impressed with its functionality. thanksMLS

Ancestral Author Review Ancestral Author created a beautiful PDF file but it's not what I needed. I was looking for a way to publish the info to my web site so that it hyperlinks to other pages on my web site. Would definitely recommend it for someone who needs a family tree pdf.

Good early effort but obsolete A perfectly respectable early virtural brochure, rather obviously written by techies and now completely overtaken by online Virtual Brochures.

Not for me This program was in my computer for about ten minutes before I uninstalled it. It had no easy to get started help wizard or any template that was easy to modify to what I wanted to do. In fact, I couldn't get one page to work.

Lack of support Nice program, easy to use and intuitive like they say - but when my non Windows PC readers had problems and I mailed for advice and info about where to get browser plug-ins got no answer at all - which is pretty darned average. Readers all jumped at the chance to get an alternative pdf copy instead - which kind of suggests it was a waste of money. But for me the lack of customer service is the crucial issue. I run a small one man business, but if my customers have a problem they get an answer either immediately ...

My review This program is exactly what I wanted just now to record family photos and documents including a family tree to distribute them to members of the family for furture reference having just lost my mother. I love the program and will find many more uses for it and I hope later on to derive an income from it. I can see many uses including replacing conference and taining background material which is currently handed out in hard copy. First I have to perfect my knowledge of the program. For home use I can use it recipe books and travel diaries ...
