I have used versions of power director for many years now with very few problems.

I have just upgraded to PD17 and generally always just have .mts files from my HD camcorder. However this time I have added in a .mov file from my iphone.

PD17 is meant to be compatible for .mov files but when i create the DVD (as an MPEG-2) onto a DVD when I pop it in teh DVD player it wont play properly......almost as if the DVD is scratched....it just jumps and pauses on all areas (not just the .mts or .mov files)

Is this because i cant make a DVD with mixed file formats? or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for help

There could be all kinds of reasons, We would need much greater details.

One thing you might try, is produce the mixed mts and mov project of a single Mpeg 2 file. Play that mixed video with Windows media player or VLC. If you have problems in that video, you will have to do some trouble shooting to find the cause of the problem.

If that video plays OK, then you can use that video to burn your disk.

You should be aware than DVDs are standard definition (720x480/576), converting a High definition video to standard definition video has its own set of problems.

If you are burning a BluRay disk or a AVCHD disk, you can keep the High definition video.
