Quote: When shooting over ~22 minutes with the panasonic SD900 the camera splits the file. When I then import the files into powerdirector and add them after each other in the time line there is a short audio glitch in the audio. Anyone else experience this?

Just about everybody does in the preview, mostly it goes away when you produce the video.

Does Panasonic have import software for that camera?

If so what happens if you use the Panasonic software?
Does it combine the pieces into one file?

Panasonic has software who can play the clips without any audio issue, but if I try to produce with this software it also splits the video

I do not understand what you mean, Powerdirector does not split the video when you produce.

You can produce a single Video and Audio file in almost unlimited length with Powerdirector.

Now if you are talking about creating a disk, bluray or DVD, the format of those disk formats do break up the video into multiple files, DVD is about every 15 Minutes.

If I use the Panasonic software and produce a video the output is splitted in much the same way as the camera does it.

Then there is not a difference.

I do not think that I can help you.

Your Panasonic HD writer software has an option to "seem" these together, but you must do that when exporting from camera to hard drive. If you have already deleted the footage from your camcorder, this cannot be done. It won't do this for footage already on your hard drive either. It has to be done in the transfer.

1. Plug in your AC power to camcorder.
2. Hook your camcorder up to PC, via usb.
3. Turn on camcorder and put in playback mode.
4. Open HD writer.
5. In the HD writer menu, there is an option to transfer/convert/seem the video from camcorder to harddrive. ( I am not at home and don't rememebr the exact menu name here).
6. This will seem everyhting together, in a folder, on your harddrive.
7. You can now use the seemed files, in HD writer or PD.

Ok, that seems great, since I have not yet deleted the videos on the camera. I have looked in the different settings in the HD writer AE 3.0 but I have not found anything that let me set this. Can you please check when you are back home?

The HD writer manual will show you how to do this. Self Built PC - W7 Pro 64 bit w/ SP1

8 gb DDR3-1600 / 1394 Firewire / LG SATA-2 Bluray Burner /

I have looked trough the manual. What I found was that it is possible to have something called "seamless recording" when writing to SD card or DVD. This setting is enabled by default (when recording modes are same). But this does not solve my issue.

I will try to explain a little bit further:
1. I have recorded one video clip (pressed recording button once) and let it record for over 1 hour before turning the recording off. So basically there shall be only one video in the camera (SDXC card). The video format of the recorded video is 1080@50p.
2. When I later connect the camera to the computer the camera is mounted as g: and it looks like this:
g:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00000.MTS (~4GB)
g:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00001.MTS (~4GB)
g:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00002.MTS (~4GB)
g:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00003.MTS (~2GB)

3. When I then do "Copy To PC" in the HD writer AE 3.0
I get this:
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935.m2ts (~4GB)
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935(1).m2ts (~4GB)
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935(2).m2ts (~4GB)
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935(3).m2ts (~2GB)
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935.tmb
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935.pmpd
c:\Projects\Video1\10-15-2011_172935.cont

4. If I open HD Writer AE 3.0 there are only ONE (1) movie displayed in the program and if I play the video within the HD writer it will play for over one hour without any audio or video issue. It looks like one continous video just how I recorded it.

5. The issue comes when I try to import this video into power director. Since the video is split into 4 separate m2ts I add the 4 files after each other in the time line. Then use SVRT to produce the video without any conversion.

6. When playing the produced video there are 3 audio glitches in the video. One at every place the files was merged.

7. Any idea how to make the 3 audio glitches to dissapear.

The 4GB limit occurs because the SD cards are formated as FAT32 which only support a max single file size of ~4GB.

I had this audio issue with a different version of PD and a different camera, I found tsMuxeR(free) worked for me. You can use it to mux the 4 files into one single file.

When using properties (in windows) on the SD card it says exFAT, it is an SDXC card.
But I will try the tool you mention, thanks.
