bhurst: Your system looks okay unless you are using 1920x1080 AVCHD as your source. In that case, you are a little under-powered. But in my experience, even if you exceed minimum specs, top quality AVCHD is a problem to work with.  I'm using 1440x1080 for this project, but I have successfully used 1920x1080 with studio 11.  It's ...

markk655: IanS - Good to see you back. Did you notice that our DD5.1 thread disappeared?  I am trying to get it back in an opff-topic thread.  I'm back because I just upgraded to Studio 12 so that I can produce true blu-ray discs.  Needless to say, it doesn't work (see other thread).  It doesn't import 5.1 sound either ...

JKoch: IanS: Also note that your PC is below the minimum spec for processing 1920x1080 output.  2.6 ghz core 2 duo is just at the bare threshold for editing 1920x1080 AVHCD.  But if Parker is working with HDV-mpeg2, perhaps the CPU demands are more lenient. Not quite.  2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo is the minimum spec for ...

IanS: bhurst: You might be able to play the .MTS files in Windows Media Player if you simply change the file extension to be .M2TS. No you can't.  It reports it as an unrecognised format, but plays the sound, but not the picture.  WMP 11 by the way. ... and by the way the .MTS extension also plays - in exactly the same way.

I have recently upgraded to Studio 12, seduced by the claimed ability to make true blu-ray discs (and put menus on them).  Naturally, it doesn't work. Studio 12 goes through and renders all the menus, effects, transitions etc.  Then as soon as it gets to point where it writes out the final files, Studio 12 bombs out with a serious error ...

When you select the output format in preferences, you need to note that it doesn't change the format of the current project.  It only takes effect when you start a new project. Also note that your PC is below the minimum spec for processing 1920x1080 output.  However, you should note that the DV format that you are using doesn't support ...

Marc P.:I remember a friend telling me that his PDA got clean wiped after being swiped with a metal detector upon boarding a plane. So I'm also concerned with flash media going through the same risk. Wow, this should be something to watch out for. You wont want to go back to your office after a long shoot in the on a rain forest to find out that ...

lizebeth32:Is it possible to transfer video in Studio 12 using a HD camcorder that has HDMI port to a computer that has a HDMI port and HDMI cord, or do you have to use USB 2.0 since there is no firewire port on the HD camcorder? Thanks No.  Even if Studio 12 supported HDMI (which it doesn't) the HDMI port on your computer is an output to ...

You don't say what DVD player you are trying to play the discs in.  There are problems playing DVD +/- R9 (the '9' denotes dual layer) in some not so older DVD players. First there is a book code problem with the DVD+R9 discs.  The book code is different to any other type of disc and older players believe that as they don't ...
