VideoStudio :: Media Players Compatibility With DV AVI Files
Jun 15, 2011
Media players are not compatible with DV.avi files. So I need to convert my DV.avi movies which I made/kept during several years to a media player compatible format. I want to keep as much as possible the original DV quality. I tried almost all conversion possibilities within VSX3.
MOV conversion looks as one of the best, but like I mentioned in another thread I only get progressive mode, which unfortunately results in judder when there is motion, line twitter because of the (poor?) VS deinterlacer, which also cause stair casing on slant structures (line doubling?). Up to now I keep it on an MPEG2 9800kb/s LFF conversion.
Am I correct in assuming that mts files aren't compatible with VSX2? I can drag them to the library but when I put them on the timeline the program shuts down. These are HD files from my Canon video camera.
I also can't import them- I've tried every way to get the files into VS but it shuts down.
I've burned some DVDs with ProX5 on the slowest speed 4x and someone I gave it to says it won't play correctly on his older stand-alone DVD player hooked to his TV. I had originally burned them at 16x so reburned it at 4x. He says it starts to skip and stop about mid way. I am not using dual layer DVDs. He says they play fine on a friend's newer stand-alone DVD player. I'm thinking it's a problem with older stand-alone players.
These DVDs play fine on my computer and my stand-alone DVD player hooked into my TV. My player is newer with Blue Ray although my project is not Blue Ray.
Also one thing I've noticed is when I set the burn speed, burn the DVDs, they complete, then when I go back and check the burn speed again it is not what I set it at. Does this mean ProX5 burns them at whatever speed it wants despite where it's set? I tried seeing the burn speed after the fact thinking I could see it in my Nero11 disc analysis but it does not give me the burn speed.
I have been using this program for a long time. Now, however, when clicking the dropdown to insert a media file, I am getting errors. Files that play fine in iTunes or WMP or other apps are being rejected. Example: Two different mp3 files, one downloaded from Amazon, another ripped from CD drive, one .avi file. Error messages: For mp3 "Unable to fine the file. Please check the name and location and try again. 16803:1:1." For avi "unable to open file. File reading error. 17101:1:42." Both files are well formed, play on other systems, easily discoverable and have file names/extensions that are well formed.
I use Video Studio and have nearly 400 GB of video and photo data which I backup to DVD.track all my media files. For each file I would ideally like to track information such as: date/time taken, location, names of people, event, DVD volume lable. Thumbnails would be nice as well. I imagine some form of database which I can search for content and know which DVD/CD volume to load. Most product I have seen so far assume that the whole data library is on local disk, and doesn't handle the data being on removable media. If there is software does tracks media files but not on removeable media I will still be interested.
I am having a very frustrating time trying to create a DVD from my project.
I am not using chapters or menus at all so they can be ignored. I am simply trying to create a DVD-R from a project that contains 137 video clips (downloaded from my AVCHD camcorder) and a couple of titles. As VideoStudio goes through its compilation of the clips it stops when it reaches the 99th clip and throws up a message stating that ‘a maximum of 99 video media files is allowed’. Which is a crazy imposition to place in an otherwise excellent product! Once that message appears, I can only hit OK to exit and nothing more happens. I cannot add the remaining 38 clips and on closing the program, it does an automatic save and drops out of the DVD creation process.
In an attempt to get round the problem I created a video file (2.5GB) and used Windows Explorer to burn the MPG file to a Phillips DVD-R. No problem there, it even ran automatically on the PC with no trouble, but when trying to play it on my 3-year old Sony DVD Player/Recorder (HXD870) a message displayed on the TV (a Sony Bravia) to the effect that it could not read this type on disc.
A couple of years ago I bought VS 11.5 and had absolutely no problems with it. Two weekends ago, my computer (Windows XP pro) blew up - I have now installed it (VS 11.5) again on my new computer, which runs Windows 7. When I double click the icon to load it, the following warning box appears:
Cannot initialize the application. The screen resolution is too small to play the video. The screen resolution must be set to at least 1024 x 768. Followed by an "OK" box, which if clicked, gets rid of it.
Clicking START, CONTROL PANEL, DISPLAY, ADJUST RESOLUTION, it tells me that the resolution is 1280 x 960, both of which are greater than the minimum advised.
Does if VideoStudio X3 is compatible with my ATI TV Tuner 650 Pro capture card? It works fine within my Roxio Media Creator 10 program, but I want to use Pro X3 to capture. However, the program always returns the error: Either no video capture driver is installed in this system, or no device is connected.
It is stated quite clearly on Corel's website that Video Studio Pro X3 is "Enhanced! NVIDIA® CUDA™ GPU acceleration and Intel® Core™ i7 CPU optimization "
Post on this forum seem to indicate a serious problem and that users with i7 processors have to change their Bios settings each time they use Video Studio and disable one of the great features of this CPU, i.e. Hyperthreading. Is this true or only under certain conditions ?
I have been a user of the old MSP8 editing program for some time, just updated the PC and would like to use the New video studio x5, is this compatible with the Canon XLH 1 A HD camera.
I use a Windows 7 64 bit Dell at home and at work. Both have Photoshop CS6 (not extended). This week when I saved files at home using file compatiblity (since co-workers in my office are on CS 5.1) and FTPed them from home to the work network I ran into all sorts of issues.
5.1 users reported getting all sorts of errors including...The document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable... and another one about missing "color books"
I read about cross version problems with shapes with the new CS6 vector strokes applied. Sure enough, when I sent CS 5.1 co-workers small test files by email they could open all of them but the one with the shape with CS6 vector stroke. So I went back to the larger PSDs and removed the strokes from any shapes, but the office still could not open the files.
I too, even though on the same CS6 product get an error "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" If I click to do so I get another error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" which is simply not true wince both are CS6
I'm running into a file conversion issue at work. I use Inventor 2008 and i need to have my assembly miodels analyzed by stress engineering via Pro/E Wildfire.
I've tried converting the assembly file to .iges and .step. However, the assemblies are jumbled in the conversion. All the parts are there, but the constraints are not. In the past, the assemblies have been small enough that the stress engineer was able to reassemble the parts in Pro/E. This current project, however, is much to large to do so.
If I were to purchase Inventor 2013, could I save the files with the Pro/E native file extensions directly?
I created a slide show with elements 11 and burned a dvd. The dvd worked fine on our DVD player but not on a few others that we tried. Is there a solution that would allow the DVD to run on all machines?
I've created a Video Studio 8 project with numerous subtitles that line up with their related videos.
Foolishly, I waited until the end to create a main title still image and title wording that now need to be inserted at the beginning of the time line.
Is there a way to insert the image and title at the beginning so that all the subsequent subtitles will automatically shift to stay aligned with their related videos, or do I have to do that manually?
How do I get VSX4 stop auto saving a project to its own My Projects folder and save it to My Projects folder in my media hard drive G:What are the pros and cons with these two methods?
I have recently upgraded to VS Pro X5 from VS Pro X2, and have a question about the import from digital media feature. I've ripped my DVD folder to my HD and select Import from digital media. The title and chapter thumbnails appear, but it takes a while for the graphics to appear. Also, when I try to play an associated thumbnail to determine exactly what I want to import, VS Pro X5 enters a non responding state for some time, depending on the size of the video. It does eventually continue and plays the title or chapter. When I select the title or chapter for importing, it does in fact import, it's just the delay in playing the clip that I'm questioning. But when I run the same process on the same computer in VS Po X2, the process is almost instantaneous. Since both programs are still installed, I realize that I cam simply use VS Pro X2 whenever I need to use import from digital media. It's just odd that the earlier version of the program would perform this function better than the more recent version.
I am trying to capture video from our camcorder dvd (Canon DC210). When we use VS11, it gives us the option of importing each title (time splitting) or all as one title. I can not find out how to do the same thing with VS X3, it only gives us the single title, all clips joined as one.
my Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 . I am trying to import from digital media,but it won't read file formats on DVD. I know that those are VOB files,and it worked well,and now it won't read it. I changed the file format from .VOB to .MPG and in that case I can add that chapters as a regular clip. I can't o it from Import from Digital media. The error that pop up's says:
1. The file formats of some selected files are not supported.
Does VSP X4 have SmartRender for HDV like Media Studio Pro? Apparently MSP is history, and the only app I see available here is VSP. I would like to use an editor that doesn't re-render HDV footage that isn't processed in any way on the timeline.
I have 3.91 GB of clips in a project file that I am ready to burn to a 4.7 GB DVD... unfortunately I am stuck in the 'Add Media' step 1 of 3, the 'Next' button is grayed out so I cannot proceed to the next 'Menu & Preview' step.
Much of my Archived video is on DVD as a direct copy of the raw footage. I wanted to download a section from the DVD and to get VSx5 to split it into scenes. This facility is available when capturing from a DV camera but I cannot find the equivalent when capturing from digital media.
I can use the "Split by Scene" option but this only works on the Timeline and does not generate a Library of shots.
I'm using Video Studio Pro X4. I'm just trying to make a simple, first movie and failing. I have a Sony HD Handycam that produces .m2ts files. I just want to be able to create HD movies that I can play on generic software on my tv. So I assumed I could create an MPG file and play it using Windows Media Player 11. After rendering an MPG file, I get no audio output.
- I imported the .m2ts files into VS - Put two short clips in the timesline. - Basic transition. - Share -> Create Video File -> HDV (tried all options) - I create the MPG file and I get no sound on playback using Media Player
I would think this is the most basic thing I could possibly be doing and it doesn't work. I am using an underpowered XP laptop, but I would think that would just be a speed issue. I'll get a better desktop for editing, but if I can't perform the most basic of tasks now I'm thinking it's a software issue.
Loaded a MPEG-4 Media File 3Gb, went to setting, clicked on Smart Proxy cue manager, waited 40min and clicked ok. I check my Smart proxy file manger and it was there. My power went out, when I reload CV my files in Proxy manager were no longer there, and my file is back to being slow and jerky, that means I have redo this again.
does this mean I have to cue manger every time I wish to work with the same file?
Some of the movies I've been creating play OK in Windows Media Player but when you try and skip to a later part of the movie by holding and moving the toggle bar there is a 'Windows Media Player has a problem playing the movie' error. All the videos are the correct length and file size. Is there a problem with the files and would it affect how they play on Vimeo? Do I need to do them again? What can I do differently?
I have been creating movies with the following properties: MPEG-4 Files 24 bits, 1280 x 720, 25 fps Frame-based H.264 Main Profile Video: 5000 Kbps 44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps
The source files are: PAL (25 fps) Microsoft AVI files 24 bits, 720 x 576, 16:9, 25 fps Lower Field First Matrox DV/DVCAM -- type 2 PCM, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
I have experienced when rendering video from Photoshop that the color looks especially bad in Quicktime Player compared to what it looked in PS. I read that there is a color shift issue when Rendering Video from Photoshop due to the lack of color management in some video players. I know this is more a player issue than a Photoshop issue, but I want to be able to make my video look best across all players.
Is there any kind of general rule for an adjustment I can make?
I can't seem to find much information on Google about this particular shift with regards to PS' Render Video.
