videowave9 problem


slyhunter

Question

I use Windows XP with the new browser 7 that just came out.

 

1. From the Roxio main program after clicking on anything that activates videowave, like edit video for example, I receive an error that I have a NIVIDIA GeForce4 video driver and it may need to be updated. I checked windows update and I checked nividia and I have the latest update, I believe it was dated 2003, don't quote me on that.

 

But that is the minor iritant.

 

2. If I drag one mpg to the videowave editing platform things are fine. I think hitting the output button to create the edited mpg works fine at this point. I'm going to reverify that after this post. I have a lockup problem and won't risk locking up while in the middle of writting this.

 

3. If I click the edit button (scissors) and screen pops up I can edit mpg fine without any errors.

 

4. However, if I click the main play button from the main videowave screen it plays a few seconds of the video then freezes the picture while continueing playing the sound. At the end it locks up and I have to do a cold boot.

 

5. If I drag a second mpg to the videowave editing platform, it freezes. Ctrl alt Delete shows videowave is using 95% of the resources but it never quits doing whatever it is that it was doing.

 

If I go to burning dvd and try to arrange the dvd with the videowave screen it uses for arranging menu items I get the same exact lockups as noted above. If I use that simplier divx creater where you toss things onto it and it shows a penant of those files that you put into it I have gotten no errors.

 

 

 

Another thing. In Roxio 7 when I moved a file to the main menu it put a picture there (first frame of mpg) with editable text. 9.0 didn't put a picture there but just the editable text. I hope that is changable. I haven't done a lot of experimenting because the lockups are a pain.

I upgraded cpu to amd3000 which is 2.0 ghz. Problems with videowave still the same. Yes I did uninstall and reinstall roxio. When I play the movie in videowave computer locks up and requires a cold boot. When I ad a second mpg to list for videowave computer locks up and requires ctrl alt del to close the file.

 

I have latest video drivers and I have 9.0 direct x.

 

I do have ie7 and I'm thinking maybe I'll try Nero. I don't want to jump through hoops to get a program to work well on my computer, better to seek out a program that actually works and use it.

 

I also now get the mpeg-2 codec error.

 

Another error. I don't receive email notification when someone post to this thread even though I set it up to do email notifications.

 

Tell you what since their customer service also sucks I just won't use any of their products ever again. I'll also tell everyone I know to not use their products as well.
