Nero 9 Info

[PeterSanders]

Hi

 

The school at which I work currently uses Nero for any DVD creation. I use EMC10 and I have been very impressed with EMC10's capabilities, WHEN you get to konw the program

 

Anyway, I will NOT be changing to Nero anytime soon. Roxio's EMC10 is vastly superior in facilities, capabilities AND user interface. I am sure Nero can produce good DVDs, but the features do seem limited.

 

My main point here though is to inform you of an interesting "discovery". Nero 9 accepts the video files I copied from a JVC mod file as the correct 16:9 format. Roxio EMC10 does NOT recognise these files as wide screen even if I specify a wide screen video format. EMC10 ALWAYS views these files as a 4:3 format - the video WAS recorded as wide screen.

 

FWIW, if the files are copied using the free utility program that copies and renames the files to mpg, EMC10 THEN recognises the wide screen setting. Obviously a "flag" setting in the data file that Nero can understand or work with, whereas EMC10 does not - (not sure about Creator 2009 though)

 

Kins regards

No, the real question is why does JVC use a Non-Standard file format??? JVC even includes custom written software to deal with it.

 

It is widespread enough that someone has even written a free utility (as Gary posted) to compensate for it…

 

Sony & JVC operate on the principle that they do not have to follow standards and have always been a pain to deal with.

 

I truly doubt you will ever see any updates for V10 unless something really important comes along that affects it.

Hi

 

LOOK at the pinned post...

 

The pinned post contains the following...

 

For those who are not aware, the JVC camcorders do NOT properly set the widescreen flag in their files. Just changing the extension to MPG will not work for those files if you Use the JVC to shoot in widescreen mode.

 

This is partly the reason why I posted the original message. Even though the widescreen flag is not properly set, Nero somehow "recognises" that the video IS widescreen. I don't know how Nero knows, but it would be great if EMC10 could do the same thing. A software patch for EMC10 would be good, though I think this is very unlikely

 

BTW this ability is NOT going to convert me to using Nero

 

kind regards
