Go into Preferences via "Edit" Tab on tippy top screen (next to file) and change you preferred system to NTSC.

Whilst both Jeff's & Kevin's replies answer your original question more precisely, and I am not trying to convince you either way, but I still suggest that if you are running on a low spec machine the suggestion of rendering each project first may work better.
I do this often, trying to limit my individual projects to 15-20 mins. This way PD stays speedy fast ![]() (mind you I do work with 1080p60 @ 28Mps)
edit: I just saw your last post....glad it is working great.

Render each small project as a DVD compliant file in the produce tab. Then you create a new project and import the completed smaller files and create disc. As long as you use correct encoding in the first step, PD should not have to re-encode the files again when producing the DVD.

You should be using a SD Class 6 minimum for HD and especially if you're recording to 1080p 60fps.
Interesting you say that and I agree however my PanaTM700 specifies Class 4 and above and indeed I record onto a 32Gb class 4 without any problems in 1080p60. Some of the data recorded peaks over 36Mbps. I suspect the buffer within the camera allows for this.

I suspect you have already done this but....
1. In Produce tab create a custom profile which will create a lower bit rate than the default. You will have to guestimate what percentage to reduce it by to get the 27 GB down under 25 GB. Render that as a file.
2. Create a new project and import the reduced bitrate file and go straight to Create Disc tab. Change your disc size to 50GB so PD will accept the duration of the project. From my brief testing, PD did not render the file even if the bitrate was significantly lower than the preset and hence the resulting folder structure should be under the 25GB (allowing for menus etc).
3. Check the resulting Folder structure for size (hopefully you estimate of menus etc kept everything below 25GB) and burn using something like imgburn or power2go.

Hi Tiraille24,
PD shows creation time date thus if you use the .m2ts files created by HDWriter it will show that (as the programme creates a new file & changes the extension etc)
If you use the raw .MTS files from the camera by drop and drag they should retain the original creation date (my SD9 behaves this way)

Not that I know of. There is the "First play video" option but you can skip this when it is playing.
Funny that most people I know hate the protected content pages and I always remove them when I am backing up my Bluray/DVD titles and here you are requesting the feature! ![]()

I don't think Cyberlink have a licence for DTS but I could be wrong. PD9 on my set up doesn't support DTS, DTS MA or Dolby True HD.

Do I have to loose detail in order to ddisplay a pano in a PD9 video?
Yes ![]()
I have done a few tests using geographic shapes to accentuate the problem and it seems any time you scale the photo by whatever means, PD uses only the original width as 1920 pixels. This is causes significant "blurring". Very unfortunate for you I'm afraid.
Great panorama btw.

Are you looking to do something like this?

1. Yes this is correct.
2. Overlaying video or effects over the base track(s). Remember the extra video tracks do not have to full frame thus allowing the base video to be viewable behind. A simple example is to place a video clip in track one and another in track two. Click on track two and resize the video using the white "dots". Play back and see. You can end up with very complex PIP effects.

Try .png as well.
But surely you can just try a few different formats and see?!?!

GPU rendering (97 secs to create): 184MB / 22.1 Mbps / 25fps / Baseline@L4.1 / ..................
Until the 2330 patch my GPU would not render at 1080 60 fps progressive. It may be the same is applicable to the ATI cards and this has not yet been sorted by Cyberlink.

Is there a simple whay to smoothly arrange a transition of the same photo from color to black & white? It is a nice effect to use at the end of the slideshow.
highlight the photo in the timeline. Click on the "fix/enhance" button (above the timeline). Choose colour enhancement. Click on "keyframe" and move the slider to the right (or wherever you want the transition to finish). This is then the end keyframe. Slide the saturation to the left. press play to see what it is like and you are done.
You can also get to this same area by using the keyframe button as well but uses drop down tabs instead.

Is there a quick way to produce a slideshow, such as on an executable file? As I intend to use this program to produce and display photo slideshows in wedding receptions, I will need to ensure that the slideshow is produced quickly. Please advise if there is a quick way to produce Photo Slideshows on Power Director 9.
The only really way to do it is to use the programme in preview mode and hope your PC is up to the task of playing it smoothly on the fly. Choose full hd preview before you launch the mediaviewer for best resolution. The buttons are below the preview screen. You can use the Slide show designer as Max mentions and the "preview" is generated quite quickly back into the time line.

Video editing is all pretty new to me, so am looking for some basic direction ......... if anyone has a website I could go to that might explain the differences of each type, that might me nice too. Thanks for your help!

I would start with Google, and read the wiki links.

You obviously cannot used combined. Sorry for the confusion ![]()

Nvidia 8600GT 1024MB. As I have said elsewhere, it seems Cyberlink were always more aligned to nvidia. CUDA was introduced well before ATI stream if I recall correctly. This is just my opinion.

I'm hoping the SVRT fixes are not too far around the corner but it lookes like if you want to join any +4GB clips, you will need to use HD Writer (note: I've never tried this) or just binary copy the files together (eg from a DOS cmd "copy/b In_1.m2ts + In_2.m2ts output.m2ts)
Out of interest I used HDWriter to join the clips but it just reproduced the same file structure in a new folder ie the clips are in 4 GB chunks but HDWriter reads them as a single clip (due to its own " .cont" file info). I suspect this is so when you use the application to write back to the TM700 they are still in the correct format.
So the only way to join them is with another application. tsMuxeR is free and quickly joins them (no re-encoding) without any glitches in my testing.

I can help with the questions if you like.
You don't need HDWriter. Its only two vaguely useful features is that it can join clips without re-encoding and it has a videoplayer which some use. It has a hopeless UI. I do not have any compatibility issues on 64bit system.
The TM700 is recognised by W7 as an external disc. If you plug in the USB you can see the two storage areas (Card and Internal Memory) as a removable disc in windows explorer. You can simply navigate to the "stream" folder and drag and drop the files to your PC. The files are numbered 00000.MTS etc. The MTS is common extension for video camera. They are .h264 in a mpeg transport stream container. They are the same as a .m2ts file. You can use them directly in PD9.
Bluray spec do not support 1080p60 but only 1080i60 or 720p60 (plus others). DVD, as you know, is 480i. Perhaps consider burning your projects to AVCHD disc on DVD which any DVD burner can do and which can be played in many Bluray disc players. There is some advantage to shooting on 1080p60. My advice would be to shoot in 1080p60, edit and then produce three versions: one in 1080p60 for storing/later use, one in 1080i60 for AVCHD disc and one in 480i for DVD.
My PC is nowhere near as well "spec"ed as yours and I work with the files fine.
Long files are split but not as short as 5 mins. I will check for you today. I wonder if HDWriter joins the clips if I use that to transfer to PC?
Hope all this helps.
ps the TM700 is impressive
