John B. Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes, it is under Transition Themes. I have looked under Transistion Themes. I cannot find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have looked under Transistion Themes. I cannot find it. In VideoWave, on the left side, click on Apply Transition Theme, and you should see the following: If you don't see that, your video card may need updated drivers, or it doesn't handle all of DirectX that the software requires. Did you install the Content disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 There is a transition 'theme' called random and PotLuck, but it is only available if your video card can support hardware rendering. Poptluck chooses from all transition including the 3D ones. Unfortunately, there isn't a random choice for those with software rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 If your motherboard has an AGP slot, you will want an AGP video card with at least 128MB of memory, but 256MB is preferable. You should be able to pick up a decent one for $75-$100. ..... and if you have a PCIe slot, you can look at these ATI cards or these eVGA (nVidia) cards. The site is only one of many but gave the best display of the various cards (best search function). Both ATI and nVidia are major players and should have Vista drivers but double check on their web sites. (Note the driver page for ATI was not running at the time I tried.)

I did receive an error when loading the software I am trying to use snag it to display the error but I can't get it to work. Sorry. It says Drive incompatability error for Sonic Solutions DLA.

ggrussell Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Wouldn't think so. Run the graphics test. If the 'dot' stays on software, then your video card doesn't support 3D functions of DirectX. However, we have seen some better video card default to software UNDER VISTA when they shouldn't. What video card do you have and are you using Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggrussell Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes, unfortunately, video chipsets that are integrated onto the motherboard usually do not fully support DirectX 3D commands needed in Videowave/MyDVD so they will always default to 'software' render only. They also use part of your system memory - in your case, 64MB is being used. To get 'random' transitions, you will need to upgrade your video card. Sounds like you have a newer computer so most likely you will have a PCI Express slot not used. Check the computer manufacturer's website or the manual to be sure. There are plenty reasonably prices ($50-80) cards that will work well with EMC 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure are, and hopefully, you won't have that problem once you upgrade your card. BTW, to get rid of that DLA error, uninstall Drag to Disc through Add/Remove Programs. It is a separate entry.
