VideoStudio :: X4 - Editing Home Movies (DVDs) What Format
Sep 28, 2011
Im editing my home dvds that i have imported to my hard drive, now using VideoStudio x4 to crop them into the right clips and adding text,
So far ive managed after some reading to set the in and out points, drag it to the time line, then add text... I had a bit of trouble finding out how to save it, but i think im right in clicking "3 share" and then "create video file" to save the clip ?
Once ive done this what is the best format to save the clip as? baring in mind once i have all my clips cropped with text at the beginning, im hoping to burn them all to a DVD, and add menus... Is the menus also something that can be done on Video studio?

I have been using VS X5 to create DVDs and ISOs from MPEG2 clips that are 30-60 minutes in length, so I end up with one clip per DVD. Now I'm in the process of taking approx. 60 MPEG2 clips, which were originally VHS and VHS-C movies of my kids at various events, and creating 60 minute DVDs and/or ISOs. The MPEG2 clips range in length from 2 to 20 min. When creating the DVDs/ISOs, I want to include the who, where, and when information prior to the video clip. My current thought is to create a timeline in the following format: Title1, Clip1, Title2, Clip2, etc. I would add chapter markers at the start of each title. Once I have approx. 60 minutes on a timeline I would create menus and DVDs/ISOs.
I create a movie file from each MPEG2 that includes content info and use these movie files when creating the DVD/ISO.

I have a created a video using my Sony XE105 handycam in HD and edited it successfully using X2.
I can then export it to WMV format and view the file in superb quality in windows media player. However, when I try to export into FLV format, I get the message about converting and it sits at 0%. I have left it for over a half hour without any movement before deeming it as having "hung" and trying again.
I'd really like to export movies in FLV format rather than WMV?

My main camera saves AVHCD files at 29.975 fps, secondary camera saves mov files at 25 fps, and third camera saves mpeg-4 at 30 fps.
I often wonder if I should just convert all the source clips from all three to one single format for editing, as perhaps it would be easier to ensure the audio and video stays in sync, and it just seems the right way to work.
What would the optimum format be for me if I started doing this? HDV? Actually I want two answers - best compressed format, and best uncompressed format.

My Video Studio X5 refuses to create DVD's.
The system runs fine apart from that. When I go to Share, Create Disc, DVD, then check Create Disc, Create DVD Folders, Create Disc Image, Normalize Audio, Delete Temporary Files in Working Folder. Then Click Burn, everything proceeds as normal until both progress bars reach 99%, then I get the following message " Unspecified Error -- 5.0.0".
Nothing gets transferred to disc. This is the same for all projects. I have already tried re-installing VS X5. Nothing seems to make any difference.

I have a version of VideoStudio Pro X3 that came pre-installed on an HP computer. It tends to crash, but I can muddle thru to the point where I can save a project as a video file. Once that step is done, there is no option, not even a greyed out button, that allows me to burn a DVD. The saved file is there, just can't do anything with it. Been thru the process and the instructions several times, the option to burn disks seems to be missing. Is this some sort of trial version, maybe stripped down? The option to export to portable device is also limited to low res WMV, no MP4, 3g2, etc.
I tried to run an update, but the program comes back stating that no new updates are available.

I have been using Ulead VS 11+ for some time with great results. I recently upgraded to Corel VideoStudio Pro X3. The video capturing and editing works flawlessly however when I then want to burn the video to DVD by selecting the “share” tab and make disk it seems to start up DVD Factory which I find totally lame compared to the DVD burning associated with SV11. There seems to be no advanced functions accessible, I can’t seem to insert a photo into the back ground of the menu title, I can't create new decorations to create new back grounds for my title, I can’t burn the project to an .iso file etc. etc. In addition if you save the project and then come back to it later it does not pick up you saved project, and it does not indicate where it has saved to project. Am I missing something here. At the moment I edit in SV ProX3 and burn in VS11.

I am trying to burn multiple copies of a video I have produced. In the final screen to create a disk there is an option to choose multiple copies. I always select multiple copies and it burns the first one perfectly, the burner drawer opens and it asks me to provide another disk. When I do so I get the error: "Does not support burning of DVD-Video on Empty disc. Supports burning on DVD-R/DVD-R DL/DVD-RW/DVD+R DL/DVD+RW disc. Please insert another disc to continue, or click Cancel to stop the process."
The disk burner is a ASUS BW-12D1S-U.
This is quite frustrating as I seem to have to cancel each time and ask it to generate another disc, which I suspect is a longer process then just making multiple copies.

I have been using corel video studio pro x4 for about 6 months for uploading videos to youtube. Works just fine. I have now edited and composed a 50 minute video that I have tried to burn onto dvd+r and when the finished product is played it starts out just fine and in time. Minute by minute though the audio starts to lag away from the video being displayed to where at the end of my 50 minute dvd it is off by more than 5 seconds.

I have one that should hold 8.5 gigs. Not sure if I should try it. I have a 2 hour interview I want to burn and it will not fit on a regular DVD.
I wonder if there is another setting that would reduce the size some without degrading the quality much.

I'm in a real pickle: Bought a top shelf Sony V. Cam. In HD the format is AVCHD, which X5 Pro doesn't want to know. The Sony software,'Play Memory Home' only allows basic editing like trimming of clips. So I tried 'Batch Convert' and picked MPEG as target to edit my 1 hr 4 mins of Kruger Park wildlife, which entails hours of work. When I start on the disc burning procedure (or video file production) after several mins I get the 'The program encountered an unspecified error and will be closing down',
I have tried different output choices, like 'DVD" or 'AVCHD' at different compression,tried deselecting hard- and software acceleration etc, to no avail, same error every time, I get told to send the Dump file to Corel for analysis, fat lot that would do! If I started with a conversion to a different file system I would probably have to go through the editing again, sound, transitions and all?

Does Video Studio Pro X4 allow for the creation of DVDs with switchable sub-titles, ie giving the viewer the option to watch the movie with sub-titles (eg English sub-titles if another language is used in the movie) or without subtitles?

I have been using Video Studio Pro x2 for several years to edit and burn DVDs from the edited material with no problems. But for the last several months the burning process stops at the end of the VOB (whatever that is) but the blank disc is altered so it is unusable. It says that the Corel softwart has encountered a problem and has to close. I send a message every time but nothing comes of it. Another recurring problem is that it keeps telling me that the program will take a long time to burn even though I have checked the box to not show this message again.
The only way I have found to get the software to perform properly is to remove and reinstall the soft ware. Normal operation lasts for about four discs and the problem reoccurs. I have cleaned the hard drive of unnecessary files, etc. All my security updates are current.
I used this software on my previous two computers with no problems at all despite a much smaller Hard Drive, slower motherboard and much less memory.

Since I am unable to burn DVDs with my current computer drive I want to burn them on another computer using the VSProX4 software. Also the video quality of the DVD I burned on this computer is poor. What is the easiest way to burn them on another computer? Should I create DVD folders or create disc image or just copy the files in the Corel VSPro folder on Documents and transfer it to the new computer. I rendered a video file from my project and it is saved in my projects folder in documents.

I recently purchased the VX3/PSX3 bundle. So far we love the flexibility and ease of creating a project. We do a lot of transferring, such as 8mm and VHS for family and friends. Our most recent project included five 20 minute reels of 8mm film. The finished project with menus and credits was just about 1 hour 58 minutes with a size of 6.6GB.
We have a a Blu-Ray burner as well as a DL DVD burner so that size should be fine since we were going to just make a DL DVD. I then went to the SHARE tab and selected the "Create a movie" link. I chose the mpg option just out of familiarity. All went well until I noticed that it broke my project into 2 seperate movies (movie.mpg and movie001.mpg). The first was a bit larger than the second, but almost equal in time. I thought maybe I did something wrong and reran it. The second try yielded basically the same result...two movie files, but this time the second was only 9 minutes long while the first was 1 hour 48 mins. I do not want the extra links on the DVD Menu. The cousin that this is going to is NOT very electronics savvy and the extra buttons on the menu may cause a complete mental breakdown. How I can keep this 6.6GB project as one complete file for DVD authoring? I can forward along file info if need be when I get home.

Projects do not finish burning to DVD. After I have finished editing my video I try to create disc using DVD format. Project completes video rendering but doesn¡¦t complete writing to disc. It stops half way. Then a message pops up saying ¡§The burner is busy for another application.¡¨ I press ok and another message comes up: ¡§The drive is busy or is being used by other applications. Please make sure the drive is ready, close all applications that may be using the drive (including folder windows), and try again. [534:-2147216300:0]¡¨
Drive: External drive Samsung SE-S204S USB CDDVDW
Video Studio 11 Plus
I have made sure no applications are open and the drive works fine with other software. I have included Print Screen shots of when I encounter the problem.

I'm using VideoStudio proX5. Previous versions of the VS program have allowed me to opt out of using a preset image template for the menu pages and instead to choose a background image of my own to put behind page headings and video thumbnails or text titles. I can't see how to do this in VSproX5. Any background image I introduce is always partly covered by unwanted areas of template and the right-click menus won't let me delete or move them to the back. I just want a plain uniform background and to be able to choose the coolur.

According to DVD Decrypter my DVD burner LG's HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10N can burn dual layer discs of the type +R (not -R) with a capacity of 8.5 Gb. Is this possible with Ulead VideoStudio 10, or is more modern software required?

I am trying to transfer 8mm tapes to my computer to make DVD's. I bought a "Startech S-Video / Composite to USB Video Capture Cable w/ TWAIN and Mac® Support" so that I could use any software w/it. I thought I could use Microsoft Movie Maker, but it doesn't work. So, I got VideoStudio Essentials X4 with the capture device. All my tapes are fine, and they play fine with I'm capturing...but when I go to view the video, it's jumpy. I only did a few minutes to see how it would do and that's where I hit a wall. I've emailed with Corel support for almost 2 months to find out that they don't support the software I got. As a last resort, he asked that I download the free version of VideoStudio Pro X4. I did, and still the same thing happens.

I recently purchased VideoStudio Pro X4. I have been making movies just fine, but now I am wanting to try some new things such as effects. Here are some things I would like to try, but I am not sure if VideoStudio has this capability:
1. Add explosions to movies.
2. Also other effects like lightning coming from fingertips.
3. I have seen in other video clips where people have added a mouth to various inanimate objects such as a wall or fruit or whatever. The object would remain still while the mouth spoke. I am not sure if this is clear or not.
I noticed that some have used Adobe After Effects. Is this what is needed? It seems kind of expensive.

I have VisualStudio Pro X5.I would like to create a DVD that will have 3 movies (Titles). I would like to a have Play All button on the menu page so that when selected the 3 movies will play in sequence without returning to the menu after playing a movie. In addition I would also be able to select each each movie individually from the menu. Control would return to the menu after playing the movie.

I have a bundle of .mpg movies with unwanted sound included. Can I remove it?
Background: Took a bunch of ancient 8mm movies to a store and had them put on a CD. They came back in sets of .bup, .ifo, and .vob files. VideoStudio Pro X6 inducted them as .mpg files. VS was recently bought in a box; allowed update after installation. How to check the version.

In the past I created a movie and put it onto a DVD. It was created with another software program called NCH VideoPad, if I recall. It worked fine. I loved the DVD's special effects and various other screen choices from its main menu. It has numerous effects on the initial title screen, and included 3 links at the bottom which allowed users to select different scenes, and more.
Is there someway that VS X5 PRO can do the same thing, but within the video, and not by creating a DVD? I know that description is rather vague, but since I can't show you the DVD movie, I don't know how else to say it.
I wish there was some way to have VS import the DVD movie I created, so that I could use it and modify it.

I have been using VS11But, I have just bought a new camera, a Panasonic HC V500. A small section of the info on the camera are the following lines:- 2D-to-3D Conversion.The camera processing engine automatically converts your 2D footage to 3D without the need for the optional 3D lens, to then be able to view on your 3D TV for an enhanced viewing experience.
Progressive Video Format for Smooth Action.The Full HD format employed in this model uses 1080/50p (AVCHD Progressive compliant) imaging. The Progressive format carries roughly double the image information of a 1080i interlace signal, minimising flickering and after-images.
As I edit and convert all my video footage into movies, will the latest VS programme retain the 3D conversion ability/facility, if so, what is the latest (or best) VS edition to purchase.

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 captured some screenshots for use in a video. In VideoStudio, when the video is paused, the text looks crisp and is easily read. When the video is playing, the text becomes blurry and very hard to read. I have taken the snapshots using the PrintScreen key and pasted the image into Excel where I trimmed them and then used an Add-in called GraphicsExporter to save the images. I have tried saving them as gif, jpg, png, and tiff images and the results are the same. I pull the image into VideoStudio and have it on screen while I narrate. Everything looks great when the image is in the viewing window but when I hit the play button it becomes blurry and some images are unreadable.
Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong? Maybe not using standard cropping margins or some other mechanical practice that I can change?
