Hi, I have a new camera that shoots 1080p...59.940 fps. Creator 2011 won't recognize it. I was wondering if someone with 2012 can try out a small clip for me. I would PM the link. thx....

Okay thx for checking, my original question was about 2012 and whether it could read this file.....which it seems it can so thats good news... thx.

That worked...here is the link http://www.upfordown.com/public/pdownload/78071/change_MP4_to_MTS_00002.MP4?no_history

Here are the specs on the file.....I downloaded it from Vimeo to make sure it was changed...and it wasn't... General ID : 0 (0x0) Complete name : C:\Users\..............\00002.MTS Format : BDAV Format/Info : Blu-ray Video File size : 32.3 MiB Duration : 10s 437ms Overall bit rate : 26.0 Mbps Maximum Overall bit rate : 28.0 Mbps Video ID : 4113 (0x1011) Menu ID : 1 (0x1) Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L4.2 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 2 frames Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=30 Codec ID : 27 Duration : 10s 510ms Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 24.7 Mbps Maximum bit rate : 26.0 Mbps Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 59.940 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.199 Stream size : 30.9 MiB (96%) Audio ID : 4352 (0x1100) Menu ID : 1 (0x1) Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Mode extension : CM (complete main) Codec ID : 129 Duration : 10s 528ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 256 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 329 KiB (1%) Text ID : 4608 (0x1200) Menu ID : 1 (0x1) Format : PGS Codec ID : 144 Duration : 9s 945ms

Thats strange, when I select my file to add in Videowave it says the file can't be edited and wasn't added.

Sorry, after the upload I got this: The following files were not uploaded because of the indicated errors: •00002.MTS, you are not allowed to upload this file type.

I guess its okay to post the link....here it is: http://vimeo.com/28679058 Its a Sony DSCTX100V

I accidentally installed Streamer when I first bought Creator 2011 and found that it prevented Vista from going to Sleep. I couldn't find a way of uninstalling Streamer and didn't know the Streamer process names so I asked Roxio .....they said the only way to uninstall Streamer is to uninstall Creator 2011 and reinstall it w/o Streamer.

Perhaps this is some kind of Intro Movie...if so it can be turned off from the menus in MyDVD

I just got my Creator 2011 email from Roxio. There seems to be new stuff and improvements...and thats great. What I want to know is whats fixed from 2010? Problems that I've had with Creator 2010 include 1. MyDVD crashing while creating some AVCHD files...Project_BuildToDevice... 2. Jumpy Blu-ray and AVCHD files when certain types of HD video clips are included in the video 3. Not being anle to add audio files to create audio CDs 4. Inconsistant use of ATI GPUs for encoding acceleration 5. Pan/Zoom on MP4 video clips causing Creator to crash 6. Integrating Photoshow with Videostudio I'm sure others have their own lists. I bought Creator 2010 Pro. If these problems are fixed I will gladly buy Creator 2011 and the Blu-ray Burning Plugin. I never found any use for the other Pro software so wouldn't buy the Pro version. So if anyone finds Creator 2010 problems that have been fixed, please post your findings !!!!!! thx

Hi Mackado, here's a few things for you: ...video jaggies/jitter while displaying text effects/transitions.....I had this on my old slow computer with Creator 2010 but with the new computer (quite similar to yours except I run Vista 64 bit) this is not an issue in 2010 or 2011 ...Project build to device...writing format....as I mentioned before, this problem has gone with 2011 ...editing long Mpeg clips....I don't normally edit long clips but did try it in 2011. I found that if I try to FF and move the cursor off the window theer is problems. I then zoomed out in timeline so that the whole clip was visible, didn't have to move the cursor off the window and it worked fine. ...while in Mydvd when picking a default's menu "chapter marker" or 'button' to edit...can't make this happen ...Many times MyDVD just hangs....I've yet to make it hang. When I run Creator 2011 I don't disble any processes.....it seems to be quite stable. This is all I've had time to look at...hope this helps.

Well I imagine theres quite a few Creator options I haven't used...I'm certainly no expert !!!! The input video I was dealing with has 4x3 so it had no bars.....like I said the overlay stretching worked well. This video is destined for Youtube so I don't care too much about the quality. It looks good on my computer. cheers...

Okay, the overlay option worked well....never done that before. thx....

Hi, I have a similar request. I have a video that was originally shot with an aspect ration of 16x9. However, my copy of this video is 4x3 so its horizontally squashed. Is there a way in Videowave to stretch it back to 16x9. I looked at the video effects but nothing jumped out at me. thx

Hi Mackado, sure, post your problems....I'll try a few things for you. To be honest though, a better way would be to purchase Creator 2011 and try it yourself for 30 days. If you don't like it then return for a full refund. cheers...

I tried a few 2010 projects in 2011 and they seem to work fine. I also ran some tests and they worked fine. For my previous projects I had to pre-convert the video clips and then use them in Videowave so I don't really have plans to redo old projects due to the work involved. For MyDVD, I did find that I had to re-select/redo the menus but again this isn't a problem for me as I'm not recreating old projects.

I bought Creator 2011 Pro and am happy with the results of my tests....heres some brief comments 1. MyDVD crashing while creating some AVCHD files...Project_BuildToDevice... ...doesn't seem to be a problem any more....Creator 2011 Pro installed cleanly and has yet to crash 2. Jumpy Blu-ray and AVCHD files when certain types of HD video clips are included in the video ....doesn't seem to be a problem any more....Videowave accepts images and H.264 (1080) clips, MyDVD generates AVCHD and Blu-ray directories correctly, directly from the Videowave DMSM file...no requirement intermediate MPG files...therefore great looking 1080 output 3. Not being able to add audio files to create audio CDs ....doesn't seem to be a problem any more....this works now....I'm able to add MP3 files to create audio CDs 4. Inconsistant use of ATI GPUs for encoding acceleration ....doesn't seem to be a problem any more....seems to use both GPU and CPU for encoding 1080 AVCHD and Blu-ray files. Really fast encoding (I have a one year old computer with an I7 CPU, 8 megs and ATI video card) 5. Pan/Zoom on MP4 video clips causing Creator to crash ....doesn't seem to be a problem any more....pan/zoom works on my video clips 6. Integrating Photoshow with Videostudio ....doesn't seem to be a problem any more....within Videowave you can choose new Cinemagic Production and New Slideshow to help generate basic but useable Videowave productions I also used to have a problem in not knowing the resulting resolution of MyDVD AVCHD and Blu-ray files until after they were rendered ...the resolution of these files became the same resolution as the video clips lowest resolution in the Videowave production. MyDVD still works the same way but tells you in advance what the final resolution will be. I recommend buying Creator 2011 if you bought Creator 2010 and had these problems. However (on the Video and Photo side), other than the new 3D, streaming and stablization capabilites there seems to be very little else thats new over Creator 2010. I don't use Creator for data-related functions such as backup so didn't look at these functions.

Thanks Jim, my new camera shoots 1920x1080 video clips so if I convert the clips from H264 MPEG4 to MPEG2 and keep the same resolution, the quality doesn't suffer too much and Creator 2010 seems to work with them fine...no jerky output. When I try 2011 I'll see how it works with the raw files. FYI, over the summer I tried Corel Videostudio but didn't like it for a number of reasons so I hopr Creator 2011 works for me.

My list of problems (certainly problems to me) is in the first post. I'm really busy right now but over the next few weeks I will buy Creator 2011 Pro and see whats changed wrt my list. I'll definetly post what I find. There's a 30 day money back policy with the product so for trying out Creator 2011 you are only out your time if you don't keep it. cheers...

Okay, thanks. What happens to the extra Pro applications, do they co-reside as well?

Has anyone installed 2011 on a system that already has 2010...Creator and Creator Pro...can they co-reside? If Pro, what happens to all the other apps? thx

Thats not the case. As I said above I do want to upgrade to 2011 and I hope my concerns/problems are addressed with 2011. As people start to use 2011 I am hoping for feedback on these concerns, and the concerns others have. Overall I like the product, have been using it since 2007, and want to continue to use it. This also means I'll be present on this board for a quite a while.

All the problems I listed have been discussed at length in this forum...some are well documented and have affected a lot of users. I suggest you do some reading before you dismiss all my concerns. Not impressed!!!

Thanks for the idea, I had the same problem this morning and this worked.

FWIW, the downloadable Pro comes in 3 files, each to be installed......2 Program files and 1 Content file. The extra software that comes with Pro is in the second Program file....not the content file.
