Oh my goodness.
The DVD Video format is a little bit old, and defined in MPEG2, 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC). Not more.
It can hold many audio tracks (e.g. for foreign languages) up to 5.1 and subtitles. Thats all.
If you want to have some more sophisticated, you need the follower: BlueRay.
It is defined up to 1920x1080. I don't know the other format specifications.
But as a Video-DVD you will never ever get a 1920x1080 MP4 on the disc.

Thank you for all the assistance. I'm going to check with CYberlink Tech Support to see if they have any other info.

Do not say, that you want to create a DVD?

Yes, I want to create a 2D DVD.

- "try another menu" means, that if you want to create a disk, PowerDirector creates a menu for the disk. Maybe if the menu content is 720, then the whole clip is 720. I don't know.
- Your correction is more confusing. MP2 is an audio format, that has nothing to do with video. So have a close look.

The Video encoding format is MPEG 2 in the video encoring format with Create Disc. No other options are available, along with only the HQ720 or Smart Fit for the quality setting. Sorry for the confusion. When Producing, I used the MPEG 4 format.

I never used that function. For me, it shows all video sizes up to 1920x1080.
Please check, if your video exeeds the size of the selected disk. Maybe if the size of the video is too big, the sizes for "impossible" renderings are not shown.
Hatti
P.s. Or have you selected 3D-Disk? If yes, try 2D-Disk.
Another idea: What is with your menu? Maybe the menu is in 720 and that determines the size of the video clip? So try an other menu
With PD14, I had the ability to select multiple quality settings with Create Disc including 1920.
PD 16 is the first time I have not been able to select multiple quality settings. My project is a 28 minute video (2154MB), shot in AVCHD. I am using 2D 4700MB discs so the file size is less than 1/2 the disc capacity. l don't know what you mean by "trying another menu". Can you clarify?
One correction to my original message, I only have MP2 available for my encoding format on the Create Disc settings.

Just started using PD16 after much time with PD14. Today I tried to Create Disc and was only able to select MP4,720 or SmartFit even though the video was produced in H.264,MP4,1920/1080.
How do I Create Disc in 1920?

Thanks, that's what I was assuming.

Using PD10 Ultra, with Win8.1.
When I try to trim a 2D clip, I receive the message - "In the Video Trim window, 3D mode is disabled and all applied effects are ignored. In order to perform a trim, Cyberlink PD must remove the applied reverse from this clip. Are you sure you want to continue?"
I don't use 3D at all, and I just continue. Is this normal or can I turn something off?

I've searched all of the available sites for a description of Audio Normalize with no luck. Can anyone provide me with specifics on audio normalization - what it is, how to use it, etc?

Thanks, Barry,
I've used Smartsound with PD8. My problem was gaining access to the "free" sounds provided with PD10. A minor glitch, but it's now working as it should.

Problem has been solved. I contacted Smartsound Tech Support. It seems that I did not get the free Smartsound music with my PD10. Not sure why. Anyway, the tech had me download the free files - CoreFoundations and added them to the Smartsound song selections - the BOLD ones... Now back in business. Thanks to all for their inputs. The Forum is great, and the members even better.

Hi Tony,
I still can't get the Smartsound songs to transition to the timeline. There are no bold songs even showing. I've tried to update the library and it appears to have files, but when I try to move a selection to the timeline. Since Smartsound is supposed to be a part of PD10, I'm really confused, especially since I reinstalled the program and selected Smartsound to be installed.

Hi Carl.
Hope that you can help on PD10 (64 bit) with Smartsound. I've reloaded the program and am unable to get the songs to apply to the timeline. I can review the song in preview, but the song will not apply to the timeline. I tried your approach, plus Johnnyjet 7's. Still can't drag a selected song to the timeline. Any other suggestions?
Joe

Thanks Tony. I'll check and reinstall PD10 if I can't find the files.

I had to reinstall PD10 and now I can't find Smartsound (only gives me a quick preview). Does Smartsound come with PD10 or how can I get it?
|

Thanks Hal. Thought that this might be the case.

Do I need to install updates in calendar sequence, of is installing only the latest update adequate?

Thanks. I'll pass this on to him.

He doesn't have Skype and probably will never get it. The camcorder is a Canon HF20 (I believe) - HD Flash. This is where I believe the problem lies - he downloads via the USB to the provided Canon ImageMaker software. It appears that the files are downloaded, but he can't get them imported to PD10.
Any ideas?
|

Thanks, Barry. He's having trouble transferring video from his Canon camcorder into PD10. I've tried to walk him through many times, but he just says that he gets an error message when he tries to import files. I'm baffled, and thought that someone in his local area might be able to help him.
Once again, thanks for the reply.
Joe
