Thanks for the help!
In chasing down all the data, I discovered that Windows Media Center was running at 720p.
I change to 1080i and everything works fine.

Hi All,
I am trying to use PowerDVD to watch Blu-ray movies from within Windows Media Center.
Everything in WMC runs in full screen until I use PowerDVD. PowerDVD runs in a window. I have to get off the couch to re-size the window and then PowerDVD runs full screen.
It is hard to describe in words, so I shot a video. This video compares normal WMC operation with PowerDVD's operation.

Any idea how to prevent this?
Thanks,

Hi SteveK.
I can access everything from the tablet (Pictures, Music) except for the Videos. I can see the video thumbnails, I just cannot play them.
I assumed that the Android PowerDVD app had its own video player.
What does this mean "Did you enable the video folders (remote)? "
I never really understood how this app works. The videos stored on my home computer would NOT normally play on a tablet unless they were converted to a format the app could accommodate.
Is there some process running on the computer that converts these videos on the fly? Maybe that process is not running?
This stuff is pretty slick when it works.

I have tried a variety of videos: .mov .mpg, .mt2s.
They all seem to play fine before I reloaded the software on the computer. Now, I cannot get anything to play.
The videos loaded directly on the tablet play fine. I just can't get the shared video's on the computer to play on the tablet.
The tablet is an Asus Transformer.
What I thought was neat about the Android app was that you didn't have to load the video on the tablet; you could stream it to the device.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
I purchased PowerDVD and loaded the associated app on an Android tablet. The tablet could play videos stored on the computer. It was pretty amazing.
I had a problem with the main computer and had to re-install PowerDVD. I also re-installed the app on the Android tablet.
Now, the tablet will not play any videos. I get this error message: "PowerDVD Mobile cannot play this video". "Check that PowerDVD 12 supports this video format".
Any suggestions?

Hi All,
I recently built an HTPC that runs Windows 7 Media Center. I am trying to replace the cable DVR box, the 2) Blu ray player box, and the WDTVLiveHub box with one HTPC box.
I discovered that Windows Media Center does not play Blu ray discs.
If I purchase PowerDVD12, can I play Blu ray discs from within Windows Media Center? We sit on the couch with a remote and don't want to have to switch applications to watch a movie.
Thanks for your help,
Brady

Wow, a floating scoreboard sounds like a cool idea; just like the networks!
Please post a link to your video when it is complete.
I usually just take a shot of the scoreboard between periods.
Great idea. Thanks!

Thanks Hal,
That is a pretty cool video.
I've been working with PowerDirector since version 5.0 and have produced about 150 videos. I just haven't used multiple video tracks before.
I will experiment with the sizing and transparency.
Thanks,
Brady

Thanks Nina,
Those are some great tutorials. I picked up a lot of tips.
I can figure out how to add a video to track 1 and another video to track 2. I can't seem to figure out why one would want to do this. It appear the program only plays one of the two tracks.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brady

Hi All,
When editing AVCHD video, I frequently use the Fast Forward button to scan the video clip for stuff I need to delete.
I noticed something weird happening when I do this in PD9:
I hit the Fast Forward two or three times, and scan the video for about 8 - 10 seconds. As soon as I hit the Play button, the cursor jumps way up the video track about 30 - 40 seconds.
I was editing some SD video the other day and noticed that this does not happen with SD. When I hit the Play button, the cursor stays where it was.
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks,
Brady

Hi All,
I noticed that PD 9 has the ability to add more video tracks (I didn't notice if PD8 had this capability or not).
How does one use multiple video tracks?
Thanks,
Brady

Hi Marczkiab,
re: your Sony HD video.
I use AVCHD footage also. I produce in mpeg-2, using one of the BD profiles.
I don't know if it has been fixed in version 9 yet, but there was a bug in producing H.264 AVC video in version 8. During the brief time of the transitions, the audio volume would nearly double.
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for this post vn800rider.
I just downloaded version 9 a few weeks ago and started editing some video. I was really struggling with transitions. They don't seem to work nearly as easily as previous versions.
I think your suggestions would be a welcome addition to the product.
There is one other thing I would like to suggest. I frequently end my videos with the fade transition. I can't seem to do this in version 9. I have to put a black color board at the end, and the put the fade between the last video clip and the color board.
It would be nice to allow the addition of transactions at the beginning and end of the video project.
Thanks,
Brady

Hi All,
Both drives are internal.
I ended up putting the raw video files on drive F:
Drive f: is a 7600rpm drive (vs 5400 rpm for c and this seems to make editing a little smoother.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for the tip.
From a performance standpoint, which drive should store the Import Folder, and which drive should store the Export Folder, or does it matter?
Thanks,
Brady

Hi All,
I just installed a second HD in my laptop. I was wondering if I could speed up video production by reading files from one drive, and writing the produced video to a different drive.
The Configuration:
Drive C: 5400rpm, Drive F: 7200rpm
PowerDirector is stored on C:\
Here are three options I was considering:
Drive C: stores raw camcorder files, Drive F: stores produced video files.
Drive C: stores produced video files, Drive F: stores raw camcorder files.
Drive F: stores both sets of files.
Any suggestions/theories?
Thanks for your help,
Brady

Hi Hilde00,
If you are looking for great sound, you might want to try a Sony. Many of their camcorders record in 5.1 Dolby Digital.
I purchased a Sony bluetooth wireless microphone. The wireless mic feeds the center channel, while the mic on the camera picks up the surround.
The sound is great.

Hi Julie,
You might want to check the compatibility of your external DVD player. It may not be able to read DVD+R disks.
I have a blu-ray player that will read DVD-R, but not DVD+R.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi Dafydd,
ZOLTÁN shows a screen shot that displays "Video redering required" and the "Audio rendering required" information.
I have never seen that screen in PD8. Do you know how to access it?
Thanks again,
Brady
