Avidemux is another, Kino is pretty decent from what I've heard

to install anything with wine use:

wine /path/to/install.exe

make sure you check the wine appdb for compatibility, wine is not a 100% reliable solution as directx is proprietary to microsoft so it is a best effort as microsoft have not contributed to this project as far as I am aware. They have however contributed to the samba project to my knowledge.

Pinnacle studio may not even install, it may work beautifully

If you read the command I gave then you will see what I mean.

I have NO WAY of knowing exactly where you have mounted the CD on your system. In the linux world, each system is slightly different so we use conventions like that.

You should really watch about running commands without reading and researching them at least a little first.

you need to replace /path/to/setup/exe with the path to the setup.exe that you run to make the program install. You can mount this literally anywhere on the system (except in /proc) so the path could be anything at all. I hoped you would use some fuzzy logic and adapt te command to fit your system.

so for example if the CD is mounted to /media/CD_i_like_to_use
and the installer is named setup.exe
then the command would be:

wine /media/CD_i_like_to_use/setup.exe

yours will NOT be this. I am just showing a ridiculous example to highlight how flexible the system is and how you need to apply some analytical knowledge to run the app in the terminal.

the command you need is wine which you have isentified, yu onow need to identify the location of setup.exe / install.exe (again, I have no way of knowing what the exact filename is) to kick off the installer

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2114

Shows that it has issues running and that you should set the system to vista in winecfg to hel pit run.

I also suggest you get the latest wine from the wine repo and not the Ubuntu one:
http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

You may luck out here but who knows you may strike gold.

Ok, i used your advice.
I found the cd in the map:
/media/cdrom0

I opened terminal and i typed:
wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe

again error:
wine: cannot find '/media/cdrom0/setup.exe'

try:

cd /media/cdrom0; ls

see what the actial setup file is called, not all apps use setup.exe. It also may have a capital S, setup.exe and Setup.exe in Linux are different filenames and Linux is case sensitive.

I tried "cd /media/cdrom0; ls" and than i get the names of the files
and "/media/cdrom0$ " so i can give a new command after the "$"
i tried "wine install", so my command is:
/media/cdrom0$ wine install
with error:
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\install.exe": Module not found

But, im on the right track now, i think
It would be nice if you can give me again a solution, im curious!

Thanks
