I've been trialing the Powerdirector 9 Deluxe and have a couple of questions before I buy, so if anyone can help with answers, much appreciated.

Firstly, I had been trialing on my old XP system and two days ago I got my new Windows 7 setup.
After installing the trail version of the software it won't recognise or add the DivX codec for compressing files
for production to AVI. Any ideas?

And the other thing, when producing to DVD's it's seriously over estimating the size of the output file.
I'm having to output to a file on the hard drive and telling PD9 that it's going to be an 8.5Gb disc.
Is this sorted when you install the Full Version or is it a major flaw?

Hope someone can answer these.

Again, much appreciated.

McDave.

I know that PowerDirector 9 is 64 bit, and it will NOT utilize the Divx codec. Perhaps that is also true for PP. Is the current PP a 64 bit program? HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

Thanks for the reply. I kinda goofed posting this here as it's to do with PD9. I didn't realise PP was a seperate product.
But it answers the question. PD9 won't use DivX on 64bit systems.
