Bought one of the new ATI TV Wonder 650 tuner cards recently that does MPEG-2 encoding in hardware, but found out that MPEG-2 recorded files are not recognized by EMC 8 MyDVD 8. When I try to add the files to a project using "Add New Movie" in the task menu, my MPEG-2 recorded files show up with a red circle with a red slash through them and I cannot select them for import.
Know there was an issue like this involving Hauppauge tuner cards, but that was back in March and it's now August with apparently no patch!
I re-installed Sonic MyDVD version 4.5 from 2001 and it recognizes the files and burns playable DVDs with no problem!
When is this problem going to be solved in version 8???

I doubti it will work but you can try Prefup and see if it helps. I seem to remember some posts a long time ago complaining about ATI mpeg files. I thought the fix was something done in the ATI library that fixed it but sorry, I can't remember and it would have been posted in the old forum so I have no way or searching for it now.

problem probably lies on how the MPEG2 file is made which is controlled by ATI's driver for the card...

Thanks, but I tried Prefup with no success.
There probably is something peculiar with the MPEG-2 recorded file generated from the ATI tuner card that MyDVD 8 doesn't like. Nevertheless, what's frustrating is that the 5 year old version of the program (Sonic MyDVD 4.5) doesn't have any problems at all with it, yet this supposely latest greatest version of EMC 8 can't handle it. The "fix" exists if ROXIO would make the effort. I can do without the window dressing and bells and whistles - just give us core functionality for $100!
Guess I'll stick with Version 4.5.

Older versions of MyDVD haven't much in common with MyDVD 8 other than the name. MyDVD 8 is a result of the merger between Sonic and Roxio. MyDVD 8 is 'based' on the previous DVD Builder from Roxio.
