Anyways, I just bought the Media Suite 8 because the video editing component (PowerDirector) is supposed to be the most feature-rich editor in it's class.
Imagine my surprise when I try to import my camcorder MPEG-2 files and it says the audio format isn't supported!
If I can't import my camcorder files, then the video editing is useless to me.
How can I make this work?
I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit), and Win Media Player plays the files just fine, so the codec is installed on my system.
Oh, by the way, the install process hung when installing a driver. Not sure which one -- after 20+ minutes of watching the dialog box saying it was installing PowerDirector (and nothing actually happening), I went into the task manager and killed the "installing driver" task. Surprisingly, the install process continued after that.
