I have PowerDirector 5.00.2112 Premium installed. My operatin system is Windows XP. I can't install the patch 2505a. I get the error message: PowerDirector 5 Premium has to be installed on this system. What I am doing wrong?

PowerDirector (previous versions) » Bad experience with the smart fit function » Go to message

I just want to tell to the community my bad experience with the smart fit function in Powerdirector 5 Premium. Maybe this can help other users. I did create a movie out of Quicktime video clips. The size of the final movie was about 8.7 gigabytes. I did burn that movie on a 8.5 double layer DVD and I did choose the smart fit function from the video quality menu. The result was horrible. Really bad quality. First I thought, I made a mistake by choosing the wrong interlacing format of the clips. But this did not change anything for the next DVD I burned. The next what I thought was, that the quality of my double layer DVD-media could be bad. But this was not the problem. I never thought that using the smart fit function could reduce the video quality so dramatically! I found this out when I did cut my movie and its size was about 8.4 gigabytes. Like that I was able to burn the movie with high quality on a double layer DVD. The result was outstanding. So If you want to burn your movies with high quality on a DVD, better don't use this smart fit function.
