Hello guys I am new here and am looking to get powerdirector 11 and I just have one question. If I already have dvd compliant mpeg 2 files and if I want to use powerdirector to make dvd's does it have an option to where I don't have to re-encode the videos? Other software always wants to re-encode the video even though its already dvd compliant. I want to keep the original mpeg2 video quality the same. I am wanting to get up to date software and cyberlink seems the way to go. Hope to get some answers. I should not have any problems getting around the program as I have been burning and authoring for years.
Thanks guys
Eric

In theory, it should work, as long as PowerDirector reads the video file as compliant. On the other hand, I have occasionally imported MPEG2 created by PD and it still wanted to encode them again, so the best advice I can give is to get the trial version and test it with your videos. __________________________________

I wish I could but my internet connection is crappy and takes forever to even download a youtube vid. I have been using some other stuff but its very old and working with windows 8 I know its a matter of time before it won't work. Thanks for the input appreciate it. I will see how big of a file it is.
