OK... to clarify... what are you editing
The latest version is 15... However Pinnacle has several variations to meet consumer needs.
http://www.futureshop.ca/Search/SearchResults.aspx
- StudioHD 15 for basic High Definition editing (not found on the Future Shop website)
- StudioHD 15 Ultimate for Blu-Ray Authoring
- StudioHD 15 Ultimate Collection that includes a green screen and additional video effects
- Studio Movie Collection that includes a breakout box. This box is handy for Standard Definition Connection. Warning.... double-check to see if this is Studio 14 or 15. The packaging looks kinda old.
Pinnacle is owned by Avid. There is Avid Studio for more advanced users.

What is "Studio plus"?
I've only covered the consumer products. AVID/Pinnacle has even more advanced products if you look at their website.
