I don't know. I think I will let all this stew for awhile and see what happens. So far CRVS has only kidnapped an occasional file every now and then and I can live with that by rebooting and hiding the file elsewhere b4 I launch PDR11. It's interesting though.

I'm testing the PDR 2815 update now and so far it seems to be okay to use.

Thanks, for your attention folks.
Whatever anyone wants to do on this thread is okay with me, including starting a new one.
Quote: PD11 apparently now requires that the Rich service be enabled. When it's disabled, the program reports that it is
"not installed" - and it won't launch. That's what happens here. REenabling it in SERVICES restored normal function.


Yes, but when I went to enable CRVS it was gone, "poof" into cyber heaven. Then PRD11 could not succeed in re-installing it.
I don't think I will try that Rider, first because I haven't ever tinkered with my registry and second, I don't have the tools to do it.

After I disabled CRVS the main program would stop on start up and tell me CRVS was not installed. It then asked if I wanted PDR to install it or otherwise just quit PDR. So I said okay, but the program just hung at that point and CRVS was never installed. Don't ask me how it came to disappear in the first place, as I only disabled it.

I had to switch over to my back up HD (thank God for Casper) to get back on track. With all the wrestling over CRSV, I have yet to confirm that the latest PDR 11 upgrade works well for me, but that is another problem altogether.

The bottom line is that for not CRSV kidnaps a file every now and then and I have to rescue it by rebooting my system, freeing the file so that I can hide away from CRVS b4 I wake it up by opening PDR 11.
Well, when I disabled the CRVS in my local services then PDR 11 would hang on its opening icon and it was stuck. I had problems getting that all cleared up as I couldn't fix it by just going back and starting the CRVS service like you would expect. Finally, I switched over to a cloned HD and got going again, thank God for Casper.

So, CVRS and I are at a standoff, eyeing each other for the next go round. Meanwhile I have upgraded to PDR 2812 and I will give it a workout and see if the slow response I had with 2707 has gone away.

Overall, I think PDR 11 is a wonderful piece of software. I had PDR 10 from a few years ago and it was junk compared with 11.

Thanks to all for your comments.
Well, I think I have found the final solution to kicking CRVS out of my Cyberlink life. When I found it in the "local services" directory I needed to right click and then select "properties". At that point I was able to select to disable the service and that took effect. I don't know if it will stay dead when I close and reopen PDR 11.
Well, I got my file out of the grasp of CRVS by moving the file. It is free now and all there is to worry about is that someday CRSV may hunt it down and lock it up again. :>
Thanks to all of you for your input. I understand better now what is happening. Indeed the CRSV process is automatically started along with PDR 11 and it remains running after PRD 11 is closed, thus tying up any files running on it.

The access to stop CRVS using the start services menu is denied though. A system restart does stop the service though and free up any files caught in its web.

Once again, thanks.
I can't find a way to close the file, which supposedly is open in the Cyberlink Rich Video Service in PDR 11. I didn't ask for the service in the first place and PDR 11 is closed, but it appears to have a death grip on the file anyway. Does anyone know how to close a file open in this feature, and also stop PDR 11 from getting a grip on any other files in the future?

I would appreciate the help. Thanks.
Well, I moved back to PDR 2615 version from the upgrade 2707 version and PDR 11 works faster and finer than 2707 was doing. After awhile I will upgrade again and see if the slow timeline update problem reoccurs. Also, I am noticing faster operation with PDR 2615 in doing productions and also in burning to disk. I will be back in a day or so to report what happens.

I know it is almost impossible for someone to analyze a problem like I was having on the far side of the internet. I only posted to see if others were reporting the same problems with the upgrade, but apparently not. My system did get contaminated by an ill advised download along about the same time that I installed 2707, but it was mostly apps that I had to clean out of my system. There is some chance that 2707 may be innocent, but I will find out in a day or so.

My thanks for everyone that paid attention to my post.
Well, I'm having some difficulty with my screen shot app. When I activate it the PDR 11 app minimizes and I have nothing left to capture. The PDR about screen does verify that it is the 2707 version. I'll have to work on how to capture a screen shot of PDR 11 on my system.

I will say that I am sometimes using PDR to chop up longer scenes into several independent projects. I do this by splitting and then cutting out the unwanted remainder of the clip. I then save the remainder to a project, paste back in the cut part of the clip, split at the next juncture, cut remainder and save the rest as a project file, and I keep doing this until I have completed the task of splitting the original into the several parts I want. It is during this process that the slow operation becomes apparent. I'll check some more and see if I can nail the problem down better.
Hi folks, I am looking for some help about a problem I'm having with PRD 11.

After installing the 2707 upgrade I am experiencing slow operation from PDR 11, specifically the time it takes when I move the pointer on the time line is now taking like a slow 5 count to get up and running whereas it responded in an eye blink b4 installing the upgrade. I have a backup HD that has PRD 11 on it which has not been upgraded and its operation is just fine. Anybody know what's happening here?
