Thanks for posting back - glad that things are working again

R_Vera:I already tried making a repair on PS12 but still have the same results. I also installed the PS12.1 patch and still the same problem. A repair of PS12 may not ''put right'' registry values that were trampled by the installation of a later version of Studio (it nay just be happy that the values exist, but not check what is in them) - and ...

R_Vera:The problem I have with PS12 on W10 is that a lot of the DVD menus won't show up correctly. Have missing features. Problems with the DVD menus might be down to a bad installation of the content, or that a later version of Studio has overwritten registry information telling Studio 12 where to find its content - and not actually related to ...

saby:I'd say progressive, since modern TV are no longer displaying interlaced images.My gut-feeling would be:If the DVD is ever going to be viewed on a TV, keep with whatever setting was used by the original source videos (if the original video swas interlaced, keep as interlaced (30 (60i)). Modern TVs may make a better job of ''deinterlacing'' ...

From that listing of the folder contents - you appear to be saving the movie file in with temporary files that Studio may purge automatically while you are editing.

Might also rule out DivX, MPEG-4 and Windows Media as the maximum frame size offered by the presets is 120x720 (haven't tried custom settings to see whether full-HD 1920x1080 ...

saby:Hi and welcome to this forum. jpilk99:After installing software What software ? Pinnacle Studio ?I'm guessing, from the text of that Import error message - that it's ''Pinnacle Studio for Dazzle'' A few ideas:Serial number - did you ever have Pinnacle Studio 16 on that PC? If so, is the serial number you are seeing the one from Studio ...

What format and frame size is your source video? Theoretically, the best result ought to be to export in exactly the same size/format as the source material, so any parts where there are no edits don't need to be re-compressed. But on a fairly small monitor you may not notice much difference... If the source material is standard-definition DV ...

TomH1138:...but before I do something as drastic as deleting a folder, how do I get Studio to rebuild it after that? Do I just restart the program? Yes, just restart the program, and Studio will create a new copy of the library database.All of the stock assets in Studio's standard and bonus content packs, all the ettects and transitions etc. will ...

FWIW - Windows 10 (on systems having hardware H.265 support) can purportedly handle HEIC images by installing the ''HEIF Image Extensions'' plugin from the Windows store. Recent W10 builds (certainly 1903 and 1909) include it as standard. The ''HEIF Image Extensions'' plugin is free, but information on its store page states that it also needs the ...
