new problem appearing all of a sudden. I have been using Power Director 10 since around New years. Making 1080 HD and 720 HD, and standard DVD quality videos from *.m2ts files. They have all worked with no problems. Now all of a sudden. My DVD quality videos are terrible and un watchable. They have horizontal line structure that seems to be more pronounced when the video has changing content. For example a perfectly still shot of a non moving object will look fine. But if the camera is moving or if the subject is moving, horizontal structure or lines appear. This has just started and has not occured before. It is repeatable. Any WMV DVD quality format will have this error. Any 1080 or 720 HD video will be fine. Help! tinman

It sounds like you are shooting interlaced video. Interlaced video will give you a combing effect when panning or shooting fast moving objects in your video.

Either shoot in progressive or produce your video in progressive. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn

No this is not a progressive vs interlace issue. Iterlace video does not do this either! The video is unwatchable! The defects are horizontal lines that have JUST started to appear in DVD quality video.

For example:

From "Raw Video1.m2ts" using PowerDirector 10, I make the following videos:

Raw Video1 (1080 HD).wmv (Views fine)
Raw Video1 (720 HD).wmv (Views fine)
Raw Video1 (DVD).wmv (Has horizontal structure deformities that is not do to progressive or interlace video)

This just started as well. I have had no problems before the last couple days.

Hi

Welcome to the volunteer forum

How odd.

Sounds like it could be a graphic card issue.

Try updating from the manufacturers website.

Also, during the burn process is there any other power hungary applications running - like a virus scan?

Keep us posted please Happing editing

Best Regards

Neil

Hi,

I've been having the same issue since I installed Power Director in January. It makes DVD quality productions unwatchable, which is the main type of file I was looking to create. What video card are you using?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti.

The weird thing is it worked fine making many videos for awhile. I think it still works in batch mode. If I build using batch mode it works fine. I think. Ill test later tonight.

It is weird. I like a lot about PowerDirector but a lot of things don't make much sense. A lot of things with the GUI are silly and you would think would of been changed many versions ago. I am kind of thinking of trying adobe next. tinman

Hi!
It happened also to me, after an Nvidia driver update. The workaround for me was to uncheck "Use hardware decoding" in PD options. I'm not in front of my computer right now, so this option might be called a bit different. This was with PD9, but it seems to be Nvidia related problem, so the workaround might work also in PD10
Cheers
Marcin
