Not sure what I've changed. Always been able to burn SD and AVCHD without any issues. Last AVCHD produced a DVD that would start, show all chapters and chapter pictures. But when you hit play from start or any chapter, audio plays with a black screen??

Burned with H.264 at 1920 x 1080 60i as I always have.

The standard def DVD plays just fine.

Tried it with BluRay and get same results, audio with black screen.

What did I do?? Driving me crazy.

Took the files produced by PowerDirector 13 and used ImgBurn and got the SAME results. So files produced yield a black video image.

Tried a BluRay MPEG2 at 24 fps in PowerDirector and this WORKED! But the action footage recorded at 60i is too choppy/not smooth. MPEG2 at 60i worked well so that's my answer for now.

Sure would like to know why H.264 fails, especially if it might look even better.

Found this:

PLEASE NOTE: For users of NVIDIA cards who have updated to graphics driver 340.43 or later, the video hardware acceleration feature in PowerDirector is no longer available. To re-enable hardware acceleration, please download and install an earlier driver.

My pair of 970's use a driver in the 353 range.

Come on PowerDirector, time to update!!
