If I recall this benchmark was done by exporting AVCHD file to AVCHD disc. And, the minimum specification machine used in this benchmark was a QX6700 2.66GHz quadcore which should be a hair faster than your Q6600, but basically, yes - we saw Studio export times cut in half going from Intel 2.66 QuadCore (8MB L2 cache, not ...

We evaluated a pre-release Core i7 machine (3.2GHz, 3GB) and completed some benchmark tests; we also have recently purchased and installed a machine in our test lab for ongoing compatibility tests (2.93 GHz, 4GB). Using Studio 12.1: Preview:  Plays smoothly three 1920x1080 (60i, 50i, 24p or 25p) AVCHD streams at Full-Resolution ...

Reproduced in QA.  Defect entered and under investigation.  Thanks for the details.

Vista 64 drivers are now available for Dazzle Creator devices (DVC-100, 101, 103, 107) here. For best results, you should have installed the Studio 12.1 patch, since there were problems observed with these devices and this OS in 12.0, but those should have all been resolved by the time of the 12.1 release.  1. Close Studio and unplug ...

OK.  I don't know what's up with the FTP lately, we're looking into it.  Thanks for offering to send via post.  You can send to the developer who's investigating the problem, at our office in Germany: Pinnacle Systems Attn. Markus Pingel, re. DTS 2902 Frankfurter Str. 3 c Braunschweig, ...

Great - thanks for the info.  Sending a PM with our FTP information.   

Many causes of the improper duration of imported DVDs had been fixed before the 12.1.3 release.  We have a couple defects still open on the problem, one of them is regarding DVD recorders - for this we have received a sample DVD created by a Wharfedale unit, though the user reported similar problems with others.  What brand of DVD ...

Maybe a silly question - is your Timeline is in HD format?  If you have not changed Setup->ProjectPreferences->ProjectFormat, then ''Set from First Clip'' would be checked, and any HD clip you added to the Timeline (first) would then change the TL to HD to match the clip.  If you have added an SD clip at some previous time, ...

I know Studio 11 and 12 will import 24p and 25p AVCHD.  On the timeline, 24p will be Background Rendered to 60i.  25p will be quickly converted to 50i, no BG rendering is necessary.  We don't support native 24p editing yet, this may be planned for a future release.  Your XL2 is a MiniDV camcorder and has a 24p ...

Basically the problem with 25p AVCHD, is that it requires a hair more processor to preview smoothly.  In the case of 24p AVCHD, we will BG render it to 60i when added to TL, which would then require only what 60i (1920x1080) does for good preview:  2.66 QuadCore (to be specific, the QX6700 does fine with 8MB L2 cache).  In the case ...
