Hi Fabbian

I had exactly this problem last week and it drove me mad. After trying absolutely everything I discovered that SVRT was checked on the produce page. I unticked it and all was fine.

This may not be your problem, but it's worth a look. Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Thanks, but no, SVRT wasn't selected in my case. I wish it were that simple. I found a workaround. I imported the file into Magix Movie Edit Pro and rendered it as an M2TS file. PowerDirector seems quite happy with that file. I would still like to be able to work with the original file, so if anyone has other ideas I'd like to hear them.

Try producing the file without any hardware acceleration. It should work. Beleive the problem is the video card and the driver. One user solved his problem by unchecking Fast video rendering technology.

Let us know if you can now produce the file.

Hi Fabbian,
1. Where is this MTS video file from?
2. Please provide the MediaInfo on the file, see the guides, Part J.
3. Have you attempted to produce & to which/what formats?
4. Have you edited the video - reduced it in size - split it half way and then Produced?
Just throwing a few ideas/suggestions.
Dafydd

thomasc, fast video rendering was not checked.

Dafydd, thanks for your suggestions.

1. The video came from my JVC GZ-E10BU camcorder.

2. I don't know what MediaInfo is. What guides? All I have is a PDF file called Power Director Users Guide. It doesn't have anything I can identify as Part J. Nor does it contain "mediainfo" or "media info".

3. I tried producing to H.264 1920x1080 60i M2TS, H.264 1920x1080 30p MP4, H.265 1920x1080 30p MP4, and MPEG-2 1920x1080 60i, all with the same results.

4. I have not tried cutting the file in half but I have successfully produced other files that were longer, so I don't think that is the problem.

I tried clicking the "Intelligent SVRT" button and going with the recommended settings. The program is 21% done rendering the file now. It will be finished in about an hour and I'll know if I got a satisfactory result. All the previous attempts failed immediately, so I'm hopeful this will work.

MediaInfo, Dafydd is referring to is in:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/40225.page

This will give others more info about the source files you use and much more.

Regarding SVRT, it looks at your source file and suggests an output format that matches the source.

Sometimes you want this (usually a lot faster to produce) but not always, depending what format the produced file needs to be in so it is playable on your Media player, TV, DV and many more. Win8.1 Pro x64 / Dual x5670 / 24GB / GTX960 4GB / 240GB SSD + 640GB HDD / PD13 Ultimate

Thanks for the pointer to the guide It was very helpful.

I was able to produce the file using the settings recommended by "Intelligent SVRT", so that problem is resolved.

I'm glad to learn about MediaInfo and I'll be taking a look at it as soon as I have time. Maybe having more detailed information about the file will help me figure out what the problem is.
