I experienced the problem described below for about three months and although I have a workaround now I would welcome advice on why the problem occurred and what I must do to resolve it properly.
For editing with English language PD 10 Ultra I use a Toshiba Qosmio X500 laptop with an Intel i7 Q 720 CPU @ 1,6 GHz and 8 GB RAM running German language 64 bit Win 7. The Video card is NVidia GeForce GTS 360M. The latest Toshiba-approved driver for this card is installed; a later version is available on the NVidia website but is not supported by Toshiba and I have not installed it. (The NVidia GTS 300 series of cards is not supported by PD 10, although the NVidia GTS 200, 400 and 500 series cards are supported.)
1. The Problem:
There are frequent split-second 'jitters' in the video (a) on playback of a BluRay disc in my BluRay player (Panasonic DMP-BD85) and also another BluRay player and also (b) during preview of the .pds on the computer at HD and lower resolutions. Enough to be a real problem.
I have attached a sample file showing the problem, although typically the 'jitters' last 3-4 times longer than is shown here.
The source data from the camera does not exhibit this problem.
I have used the integral BluRay burner in the Qosmio X500 and also an external BluRay burner - LG Super Multi Blue BE12LU38; the discs from both burners exhibited the problem.
I tried all of the suggestions that I could find in the PD forums, but to no avail.
The problem seems to go away if I deselect both hardware acceleration options in 'Preferences' and at 'burn' time.
My questions are: (1) why does the problem go away if I deselect both hardware acceleration options in 'Preferences' and at 'burn' time and (2) what must I do to get the benefit of the fast rendering available in PD 10, but without suffering the a.m. quality problem? (Other equipment I imagine, probably another video card? Not a problem if that is the best way ... Is the Nvidia GTX 600 series of video cards supported in PD10?)
The other required data for this forum, as specified by Dafydd Bevan in his post on 08.09.2009, are, I hope, all shown below.
2. Operating System:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit; Service Pack 1; 6.1 Build 7601; German language.
3 & 4. Power Director:
PD 10 Ultra, 64 bit; 10.0.1.1703; English language
SR Number VDE120314-03
5. Video Source Material:
Canon HF 10 Camcorder; Recording Mode = FXP (highest quality - Full HD); set to 'Easy' recording mode; AVCHD files (file type = .m2ts)
6. Antivirus solution = Norton Internet Security Online - from 'T-online' in Germany, my internet provider.
7. Other codecs installed. Sorry, I don't understand the question and could not locate PD's Readme html file.
8. No other video editing programmes installed
9. Additional Burning Software = ImgBurn (it doesn't solve the problem if I create files while burning and ask ImgBurn to create a BluRay Disc from those files).
10. All my discs are from 'Verbatim'. I use BD-RE 2x (25 GB) for drafts and BD-R 4x (25 GB) for finished product.
11. Background Processes: none consciously. Some Toshiba service programmes are probably running.
12. dxdiag files attached (32 bit and 64 bit).
Thanks in advance for your support.
