Quote: Hi, when I try to produce a WMV, I get an error message half way through "unable to produce ... wmv not compatable" or something like that.

So, then I try to produce Mp 4, but there is no option for MP 4, only MP 2.

Some of the TV stations alternately accept MOV, but I don't see an option for that either....

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi, Angela!

For MP4, you have a choice of H.264 AVC(below will appear a selection of M2TS, MP4 or MKV), H.265 HEVC(same options) or X AVC S(MP4 only). To produce in Windows Media Video, the option is there, next to MPEG2, if your PD14 is unable to produce in WMV, it likely won't allow the other options either, which leads me to ask if you're using a trial version, or a bare-bones version that came in a package with a capture card device? These versions usually don't have a CD Key number to activate them but they fall way short of the facilities and features available in the full version of PD14.

Cheers!

Hi Neil, I purchased the full package, but I think from your helpful comments that I just didn't know where to look!
I will go back and try again. Thanks!

Hi Angela,

Make sure you're in the Produce module. I attach a screenshot of its top left corner where you will find the options Neil mentions. Choose QuickTime to produce in the MOV file format. MP4 container is avialable for H.264 AVC, H.265 HEVC, and XAVC S format options. WMV is uder Windows Media…

Like Jirka said - "Make sure you're in the Produce module."

Hit the "Produce" tab that runs across the top (2nd line down form the top actually) of the main window in PD.

Hi, Angela!

How did it go, did you manage to get your MP4 video produced okay? It's somewhat strange you having that compatibility issue when ttying to render in WMV, could it have been a momentary hiccup in the system? Have you tried it again since then? Might be one for Cyberlink to look at.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone, I have been buried under editing.. Finally finished and it will be up on you tube hopefully tonight.
I need to produce a DVD to submit to Time Warner.
I also need to produce WMV or MOV for the client....
So, all of these suggestions will be used. Thank you so much!
