VideoStudio :: Unable To Select Blu-ray Video Disk
Dec 17, 2010
Does the trial/evaluation version of VideoStudio Pro X3 - DVD factory Pro 2010 support creating Blu ray disks. Or is this only possible with the full/bought version?
I downloaded the trial version of VideoStudio Pro X3 which includes DVD factory Pro 2010 version 1.6.0.367 (dutch language version). With DVD factory starting a new videodisk I cannot select blu ray disk in the project settings. I can only select as disk: DVD and as project setting: Dvd-video or AVCHD.
I searched but could not find any resolution. I do like the editing software so very happy so far but before I buy the software, I want to make sure I can create blu ray disks (do a test).
Note: I do have two drives, first drive is Blu-ray burner (LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH08LS20) and second drive is normal DVD burner (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C)
I'm using the free trial version of Videostudio X5 and have 3 video files I am trying to burn to a BD-R disk. The files are H.264 and when I preview it before burning, the menu I created works fine. One of the three files is large, over 9gb. When I burn the disk, the large video file is not burning correctly. When I go into that file from the menu, it just loops back to the first menu item. I tried burning just the large file to a BD-R and it worked fine. The total project size is around 17 gb so I'm under the 25 gb limit. I think the next thing I'll try is breaking the large video file into two files. I'd like to buy the software if I can get past this glitch.
I would like to use Corel DVD Factory to "Create Video Disk". I have created my mpg (Movie Clip) vidoe file and have placed it in a "c:video" directory tree.
How can I user Corel DVD Factory to Create Disk and drag/drop my file to that application?
When I "Select Photos and Videos" it brings up the Library but it doesn't show what I want and I'm not sure how to navigate tothe .mpg file I created so that I can drag/drop to the Media Tray.
I've just completed my first project and when I attempt to create a video file for hard disk output I'm unsure what option I should select from the drop down box that gives me the highest quality without re-rendering the video.
My AVCHD 50p original files are according to the file properties in VSP -
PAL HDMV H.264 Video 24bits, 1920/1080, 16.9 50.000 frames/sec Variable bit rate (max.26000 kbps) Dolby Digital Audio 48000 Hz, 5.1 channels 384 kbps
So it looks like I need to select AVCHD 1920x1080 50p however in the properties for that file creation, the video bitrate is max 20000 kbps (my video 24.7) and audio is only 2.0 (my audio 5.1). I really would like to retain the 5.1 audio and my higher video bitrate.
Also when I view the project properties the video is shown as 1024 x 576.
PAL double (50 fps) Microsoft AVI files 24 bits, 1024 x 576, 50 fps Frame-based Uncompressed PCM, 48.000 kHz, 16 bits, 5.1 Channels
First time creating a project and capturing digital (.mts) clips from digital media. I used to have a MiniDV camera which I found easy to 'capture' from.I recorded to SDHC memory card which I then copied (all folders and files) to a hard drive.I am using VS X6.
Method I used -Click on CAPTURE > IMPORT FROM DIGITAL MEDIA / Navigate to the folder where all the digital video clips are (PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAMClick START It takes a very long time for all video clips to be 'read' and 'thumbnails' displayed.
Now comes the problem.I want to select the FIRST 100 clips.I note that to select as clip to import I need to click the top left corner of a clip (and a tick appears) BUT I don't want to have to click on 900 thumbnails.I tried clicking on the first thumbnail then holding down the SHIFT key then clicking on the last thumbnail - didn't work.Tried the same holding down the CTRL key - didn't work.
I have several movie clips I want to turn the volume down to the same level. I don´t want to do it one clip at a time. When I select multiple clips, the sound level bar turns gray and I can´t change the level.
Corel VSX4 now says "Either no video capture driver is installed in this system or do device is connected" now I am unable to capture new video from any source. W7 64B and I have downloaded the latest updates.
I have VideoStudio XS4 Pro and it freezes when I try to edit a MPG4 video. The source video is from the Flip video player. I have been able to edit these without any problems before. This time when I put the video in the edit window I can start to play it, but then the UI stops working. It beeps when I try to press any button.
I'm using Windows 7. (see my machine profile) I have applied latest updates.
Project properties:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps) MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps Upper Field First (DVD-NTSC), 16:9 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
I have upgraded to X5 (15.0.0.258) Windows 7 64-bit QuickTime Player 7.7.1 K-Lite_Codec_Pack_840_Basic.exe
I am using an input file of:
a 30 second .avi file, frame size 1440 x 1080 15 frames/sec Video compression Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder, 24 bits, total 450 frames Audio compression PCM 32.000 kHz, 16 bit Mono 960,000 samples.
I was using X3 version [URL].......
If all I do is clip the .avi to a 10 second output (eg .mpg, .mpg, .wmv) with no editing, I get a jerky movie (which appears to be one frame per second).
I have put up a 10 second clip here to show a sample of the jerkiness (which was created using x3) but it is the same jerkiness. [URL]...........

In capture mode, choosing "capture video"I get error message "failed to initialize the video capture plug-in another program may be using it or this file has been moved" " open driver failed" 152.00.43.0 15023.4.2 my video capture device is a USB WDM 2860 and shows in the "source" window but no "format" can be chosen and no video comes through. The operating system is windows 7 64 bit. I have "Magix movie edit pro 17" and "Cyberlink Video Director" and both of these programs work with the same device and capture. Neither one of these applications are running while using Video Studio. I checked and nothing else is utilizing this USB WDM 2860 device. I reinstalled the software, installed the patches, and uninstalled the USB drivers and reinstalled them.
If I have project properties set to anything but the default, I am unable to scrub through a clip when in clip mode if the clip has the second icon indicator, as shown in the screen grab below. This second icon (double diagonal frames) does not appear immediately. Before it appears, I can scrub in clip mode, but after it appears, I cannot. What that icon represents? My video files are from Canon HV20 (m2t 1440x1080) and my project properties match them.
I have a suspision that it has something to do with proxy files, and that once the proxy file is made, I lose clip scrubbing.
I just tried turning off smart proxy, and wouldn't you know it, I can scrub in clip mode.
I restarted X4 and clip scrubbing is fine. I enabled Smart Proxy, and clip scrubbing doesn't work again.
I couldn't create DVD disk, or, couldn't create video file either. It would go to about 99% & then hang the system for hours (until stopped with Task Manager).
I had installed all of the updates, including SP2. I've uninstalled today & I will re-install in the next day or so to see if it works.
I have some video in mpg format I'm trying to split into scenes, and then save off a separate videos. When I try to save one of the trimmed scenes using "Save trimmed video," I get the error: "Unable to compress video with the specific frame rate or frame size." It's all set in 16:9, and it's all set to 29fps, etc.
I was trying to 'create a video file' when I received this message, 'Ulead VideoStudio [2000:1:1] Failed to open the MPEG encoder.
I've made countless movies and this is the first time I'm having this problem. Maybe I had it in 2008, but I've just turned 70 and remembering what I did then is a thing of the past!
I'm in the process of evaluating several video editing programs. So far I've used AVS Video Editor, Cyberlink Power Director and Adobe Premiere.With each program I've spent 30 minutes making a quick demo video to see how intuitive it is and how well it performs. Today I downloaded Corel Visual Studio and decided to give it a go.
I've run into a problem straight away.I've tried to import raw avi files.So I'm using the "Select Import Source Folders" screen.When I navigate to the folder containing the files the OK button is greyed out and won't work.It's greyed out all of the time.
I've started getting this error when attempting to open QT wrapped DVCPro HD in Premiere Pro CC (7.2.1) windows OS.
I have the latest version of QT installed and I can open and play the files successfully on the same machine in QT. The files are located on a network share but I have tried copying them locally and I get the same issue.
I've tried removing, reinstalling, updating QT, rebooting the machine, holding down shift when launching Premiere but none of these things have made a difference.
I can open the same files on a different machine using the same version of Premiere (without QT installed - different OS though, Windows 8) and up until fairly recently, I could open these files on the machine where it's not working too.
The really strange thing (as far as I am concerned at least) is that I can open up the project in AME and render it out to DVCPro HD on the same machine, without a problem but for some reason Premiere doesn't want to handle the files properly.
I've been using Gimp 2.6 for some months now and beginning to get to grips with it. I load photos into Picasa and then process jpegs with Gimp. Upgraded to 2.8.0 a few days ago and hit a problem.
Using the new 2.8 system to to 'export' out to a jpeg file, when I go back to Picasa and make any change at all, which then needs a 'save' I get a Windows error message: "Unable to save all files due to a disk error. The disk may be full or read only".Files not Gimp 2.8 processed are fine.
2.6 no problem - 2.8 problem. I don't think it will be Gimp bug, but there is an associated change which has 'upset' my computer.
I am finding that while reviewing / rating my pics lightroom will often lose a pic (pics located within a folder on the desktop - move them to a nas drive later as faster to work from hard drive than accross the newtork when importing and exporting and creating previews etc). I will have a pic on my screen and then use the numeric keypad to rate the pic or the arrow keys to progress to the next pic and then out of the blue lightroom announces that the pic is missing. I look at the hard disk and find that there is now a .swp and .tmp file left in the directory where the pic was. eg below
I can then either rename the tmp file back to a jpg and all is OK but I have just started dragging another copy of the image from the card again. This is not just a lightroom 4 issue I used to have it in Lightroom 3. Its got to the stage where I am now keeping a copy of all images while I do my initial shortlist just incase I lose something which frustrates me somewhat.
I recently purchased Video Studio Pro X3 - and after going through the knowledge base and product read me, I have been unable to find an answer to the following problem I have:
PROBLEM:
I have a number of videos (HD 1080p) that I have recorded. Each video is on average 50 minutes in length - what I want to do it to be able to do is to slice this video into 10 x 5 minute videos (based on topics discussed in the video), (so essentially clip the video into these segments and edit each one) and then when producing the video file - actually create 10 separate video files (all with editing in place) instead of one single large file.
As far as I have been able to work out, I need to go through the whole file, clip relevant sections, edit them, and then save project. I then need to go trim the saved file 10 times, to extract each time the single 5 minute video I want to create. This is a fairly manual and time consuming process, hence my hope that I can create 10 files based on the clips I have made in the larger 50 minute file in one go.
as I have 30 videos to edit, so looking for ways to save time!
I have a LIVE show recorded and I want to add Video Filters in various places within a single 4 minute video. Do I need to cut up my video to segments to add filters too or can I apply them to different spots in a single video?
Every so often I notice that my preferences have been reset. Can't pin down a frequency, but you say every 4-6 months this happens.Documents open in tab form, my scratch drive is now C, and the checked options of S and O drive is gone.
I have not reset the preferences or done any actions or disk clean up operations.Using current version of McAfee Security Center and it does run scans automatically. But it does this frequently so the 4-6 mo. of reset makes this unlikely.
Windows 7 OS and PS 12.0.4.Have noticed this same occurrence for years even with CS3.
I have bought a new HD Camcorder. I understand that I need Blu-ray disk in order to burn my movie to HD format.
I am using the VS Pro x3 program. Before the burning process, in the "Create Video File" step, I have (among the others) the Blu-ray template, the AVCHD template and the HDV template. Which one of them I have to choice?
In the DMF 7se the output format of Blu-ray disk is BD.
On start-up of Designer7 I now get the error message "Unable to store information on your local hard disk. The disk may be full, or read-only. Ok" as pretty well the last thing in the start-up process. On pressing Ok, the dialog clears and the program will run normally. Opening and saving files works just fine.
My discs (where the program is stored, where my user profile is stored, where the drawings are saved and when the temp files and Windows swap file arel orated ) have ample space and are not RO. I also ran a disc check and they're not corrupted or damaged.
No malware seems to be present (checked with a couple of different programs) but the only thing that's different is that we had a power cut while Xara was running. Since then, it keeps giving me this message.
I've just updated to the latest version and accepted the default settings and it still gives me the message.
I have a new computer with Windows 7. I just loaded VS x2 with all the patches and extra content. I can create projects fine but when I try to "share" and create a disk nothing happens. I clock on the "create disk" button and a small square grey box appears next to the button but nothing else happends.
I have the most current Windows 7 drivers & updates and drivers for my disk drive. It worked fine in Windows XP.
I think X4 is somehow creating temp files that gradually fill up the hard drive. Actually not so gradual: approx 3 GB in only a couple hours of editting.X4 crashed this evening, then wouldn't start again. I noticed the HD was full. I deleted 3 GB worth of microsoft stuff I wouldn't be using. X4 would then start, and I continued on editting, till it crashed again. Now the HD is full again, so I assume there is 3GB worth of stuff created since the last crash.
I have a 60 GB main HD where windows lives, and another 1000GB drive where all my videos live. Are there files created by X4 that can be safely deleted, even before the end of the project?
Tonight I created my first DVD disk (ie authored a DVD) using X4 which I purchased last year.It seemed to take a much longer time to complete especially the creation of the title (menu?) than what I am used to using VS10.
Is this normal?
Is this a known 'problem' with X4?
What are others using to author a DVD?
Should I use VS10 to 'create disk'?
BTW I authored using the same characteristics as I used when I created my DVD file (create video file) so I don't think that it re-rendered.Also I am creating a 'standard definition' DVD not high def.
Is it better to capture a video oversize and let VS X5 make it fit a disk or try to estimate the size and make sure it's small than max disk size? In prev versions it was better to estimate so it would always fit to avoid any audio sync issues but I hear those problems may be a thing of the past.
I've got charts I made over the years for sizes/bitrate etc for different video editing software. They don't seem to all render to the same sizes and the bitrate calculators never seemed to be that accurate.
I am now getting a unspecified error when I try to create a disc. It tells me to:send the file C:documents and settingsxxxlocal settings empvstudio_14.0.1.3_20101220_083832.DMP to tech support. Trouble is there is no technical support unless I have a paid subscription. I cannot read the file because windows xp will not recognize it. I see nowhere on here that I can attach the named file.
