Hi all,
Just got my new PC and decided to stay with PD9 for now. Its an i7 with an Nvidia 760 and GB of ram running Windows 7.

I had backed up my US holiday edit data onto a couple of dvds, I copied those on to the new pc and after updating PD9 attempted to play the edit. I'm getting one second of play, followed by approximately 10 seconds of nothing, with a little widget appearing saying "rendering..."

This is not good.

I noticed some of the files that were supposed to be included were marked as missing when I loaded the project - mostly stills and audio - but I selected ignore all, and now I'm just trying to play what has loaded with horrendous results. Any thoughts?

Cheers.

You are getting that with PD 9? It has been showing up with PD 12 and Nvidia cards. Is your PD up to date?

I assume that you have the latest driver for the NVidia card. try rolling it back to an earlier version. You will lose nothing (unless you are a gamer) with the earlier version of the drive (I'm using a very old one 0314.22)

Unfortunately I am a gamer as well.

Looking through people's posts on the forum, it seems like this was going on a year ago, but I've not seen any fixes.

The only thought I had was that apparently my cpu (i7 3770K)has some fairly reasonable onboard GPU capability. Perhaps I can switch to that for video work? :-/

Other than that.... upgrade? Or do will Cyberlink and Nvidia have the same issue with that version in a few months?

don't use nVidia's new driver, it's a known issue.

I'm not sure my video card has been around long enough for me to be able to revert to a driver that works. Its a GTX 760. I tried the earliest driver I could see last night with no difference.

If I upgrade to PowerDirector 12 will I face the same problem?

v12 has a patch to workaround NV's driver issue.
So you won't be suffered.
