The Pro version unlocks some useful functions for recording, editing, converting, and streaming.
A disadvantage of the program is that it doesn't support some popular video formats, like WMV and DivX. So you have to install codecs manually as the application doesn't offer a way to do this automatically. Also, like most Apple software does, it installs additional tools that I consider to be bloatware. The installation package comes with an additional basic image viewer, the PictureViewer. Since Windows already has one integrated, this is just eating extra space on the disk. Software Update and Application Support are other programs in question. The update function, for instance, might as well be integrated into the main program, giving you the option to do it automatically or not, as most programs do. In short, the installation should have given users the opportunity to choose what components they wish to install.
