PowerDirector 14 patch latest build 2707 has this in the release notes about mov files “Fixes the issue that SVRT doesn’t work on MOV video” I had recently answered a post in the PD previous version about black side bars on Canon camera videos in the mov format here : http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/47517.page .

Have not updated to build 2707 yet but found that on build 2302 that svrt is available on my Nikon camera mov videos which is not sold as a camcorder. PM ynotfish about that. He generously checked several Canon cameras for black side bars and for svrt on his own time.

Attached is a screenshot of my timeline showing svrt available on my mov videos.

Thanks Tony for all the work that you have done.

... and I'll post what I found, testing only Nikon & Canon DSLRs

Both Nikons - D5300 & P610 - have SVRT available, but the Canons are a different story

Many Canon DSLRs actually record at less than Full HD & upscale in-camera e.g. Canon 7D - 1728 x 1156 & get spewed out of the camera at 1920x1088

Canon 5D MkIII - SVRT

Canon 7D, 60D, 500D, Canon 60D, T3i/600D - No SVRT

Cheers - Tony

I have svrt working now on the Canon T3i mov file downloaded from Vimeo by creating a custom mp4 profile. Took the MPEG-4 1980 x 1080/30p (16 Mbps) profile and changed it to Baseline Profile, CALVC, 48000 K bps and svrt is active. This is based on the clip properties.

Mediainfo reports that the sample video is 1920 x 1080, but original is 1088 and that is why it worked. The 8 pixels got truncated either in the upload to Vimeo or at Vimeo itself. A different custom profile needs to be created for 1920 x 1088. That means that you will have those black bars on the side.

There is no need for svrt for this Canon T3i video in my opinion. It is reported to be low resolution video that had been upscale to 1920 x 1088 on the internet. The high 48000 Kbps bitrate is unnecessary for low resolution video in my opinion.

A Canon consumer camcorder can record true high resolution 1920 x 1080/ 30 or 60p at a fraction of that high bitrate of the T3i camera from the same manufacturer.

EDIT: Attach the mediainfo for this video clip.

I couldn't get svrt to work on my Nikon L110 MOVs since, hmmm, maybe version 9, 10? Now I get an applicable profile. Too bad the camera is a stink-bomb. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
