Update: FYI- I now believe the export time was very slow because I wrote the file to a BD-RE disc. Apparently, the write process has to do more calculations due to the structure of the rewritable disc. It has to be written over first or reformatted in some way.

Thanks Carl, I'll check the hardware acceleration setting.

Just wanted to know if 4 hours is a normal length of time for a 55 minute H.264 video to be exported to Bluray disc? Seems like a long time to me, especially with my specs. Thanks for any info!

Carl, I would only add one thing to your good advice; An AVCHD file will play in 1080 quality on a DVD, provided the DVD is made as a "data" disc. Of course it will only play on a computer and some bluray and game systems.

Mr19th, "export to disc" or "export to mpeg2" and "create a disc".

Albert, Are you trying to put files from a DVD into your computer/Power Director? or, from a DVD camcorder into your computer/Power Director? You should be able to drag and drop the files into a folder on your PC, whether the DVD is in your DVD drive, or your camcorder isconnected by USB or Firewire to your PC.

Carl, I finally got around to downloading HD Tach. I had to use windows compatability mode as there is not a windows 7 version. Here are the readings on my drives; C: Average Read Speed 105.0 Mbs, D: 116.0, E: 115.0. The Random Access speeds were 7.7ms, 12.7, 13.3. Any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks Carl! I'll check it out.

Does anyone know how to increase the "data transfer speed" in a computer? My Windows Experience Index is at 5.9, because of the lowest sub score on my PC; that being the "hard disc transfer speed"which is 5.9. The processor, RAM, and graphics scores are 7.8 and 7.7 with an experience index top score being 7.9 I have 3 hard drives set up as C:OS/Apps, D:media, E:project files. I realize this is not a PD question, but it does affect how PD runs when video editing. Thanks for any advice!

Are you sure you saved it to a file on your hard drive? Otherwise, when you unhook your camera, it will be gone.

Wayne, Do a search of your computer using .psd as the search query. Hope you find them. !

After reviewing the specs on that camera it looks like it would work with PD. I would suggest you also look at the GoPro camera too. I have seen video from that one and it was very impressive!

Mike, try producing to Windows Media, or Quicktime files.

I agree with Mike on this one. Video editing is so memory, processing intensive, that you should go for the best you can afford in terms of processor and RAM hardware.

You don't have enough RAM. Check the requirements for high def video with Power Director/Cyberlink.

3G2?. Do you mean MPEG 2?

Oh, just saw your reply Robert. Thanks.
