Quote: I just made several screen capture video recordings using DEBUT Screen Capture Video by NCH Software.

They were saved in .AVI but when I tried to load them into PD10 they would not open. There was a long message on the screen saying a lot of stuff why not but did not mention .AVI.

In the file they are saved in they have the DIVX logo all over them.

PD10 says it will play .AVI so they should be ok to load.

However, if I want to change them to another type can someone please advise which type and is there a free converter around that I can download and use please?

Thanks,

try Handbrake and looking at your pc in the signature, you need to contact Santa or Mrs. Santa...

did you update latest Quicktime and DivX codecs??

Thanks but what part of the signature is of concern and what is your suggestion please?

looking at your memory, 3GB, will pop up a rendering graph on the right...

whenever you click on the produce.

additions to Quicktime and DivX, i've installed FFDSHOW codecs.

i used PD10 Ultra to create 4K videos.-> https://youtu.be/V8CO0o6VT6E

Yes, I realise that 3GB RAM is a bit low and sometimes I see the RAM being used can go into the 70, 80 and even 90% range. I have priced another 4GB stick of RAM about $50 Aussie which would take it up to 7GB total. How would that be?
Do you think that the 3GB is affecting PD10 operation though?

I don't think I have ever seen the rendering graph you mention though.

Back to my problem, I tried using DivX Converter which I found on my computer but could not load these DivX files onto it! Crikey!
So I did a search for free video converters and downloaded Any Video Converter (AVC) and converted one file to WMV and loaded that onto PD10 and it worked ok. The audio was playing ok as well but after stopping and starting the audio seemed to go awol.
At some stage it told me that the perspective of the video was 4:3 so will have to look at that and see what can be done to make it 16:9 at the start. But I assume that would be set in the Debut software.

re "additions to Quicktime and DivX, i've installed FFDSHOW codecs. " Is that important for me?
Thanks, Phil

NO. if everything works alright for you, then don't. save that for future PC. absolutely not worh it for 6 year old pc in my

opinion.

NO. if you don't have any problems, then you don't need it.

Happy editing.

Thanks PepsiMan, I'll check it out.

Got the audio back again when I restarted PD10. Phil

I finished the video and it played back ok in the Preview Player but stopped short twice when I went to burn a disc. It said that burning was successful twice but it wasn't.
The video has a few clips but stopped short of the 13 minutes by between 5 and 6 minutes which is midway into the last clip.
The exact times were 7:51 and 7:14 into the video.
I don't want to waste any more blank DVD's
Any ideas please? Phil

You don't need to burn anything to a disc. When you click on the Burn in 2D button, just choose the Create a folder option:



You can use any free/3rd party burning software to actually burn the disc once you're sure it's viable.
