OK I have finally cracked the problem and can now create playable DVDs from a PD13 ISO image at high speed.
I have tested it and it works!!
1) In PD13 select "Create Disc" then under the 2D Disc tab choose DVD or BluRay and your settings.
2) Next select "Burn in 2D" (I haven't tried 3D yet).
3) Under "Final Output" select "Save As Disc Image". It will then render and create the ISO image of the project.
4) Download and install Power2Go 10 Essentials - Its FREE software and does not expire!!!!

5) Right click on your PD13 ISo created above and select "Open With" Cyberlink ISO Viewer
6) In ISO Viewer choose "Burn To Disc" Icon and you will create a playable DVD from the ISO.
Its fast, easy, and free. I used a 45min PD13 project. PD13 took 30 min to render and write a DVD.
ISO Viewer took 3 min to write a DVD from the ISO image - and the quality is perfect!
UPDATE - I also used the same project to create a BluRay (H.264) DVD. PD13 took over an ahour to render and create the DVD. ISO Viewer creates the BluRay DVD in 3 min from the BluRay ISO.
Now I can quickly create project DVD's on demand!

Another Topic with same problem.
https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/43052.page
My understanding is that IF you use the ISO image saved by PD13, you must use "Cyberlink ISO Viewer" to open it and create a playable DVD from the ISO image.
My PD13 Ultimate did not come with this software. It apparently is part of Cyberlink's Power2Go software.
If I am correct, then why is CYBERLINK giving us the ISO file feature in PD13 if we need to buy more software in order to use it?
Surely Cyberlink ISO Viewer should come with PD13 OR PD13 should create an ISO9660+UDF format recognized by DVD & Blu-ray players.

This is a genuine problem. I have the same shimmering results with a Motion Slide Show - especially with water shots. Very annoying - hope they fix it.
Thanks for all the tests.
Quick update. Flickering was terrible when I created a normal DVD but I just created a BluRay from same project and results are much better. Not a fix just a comment.
Also flicker is in water pics with Magic Motion is much worse with vertical motion than horizontal.

Can you mount the ISO in a virtual drive (like the free Virtual Clonedrive or Daemon Tools Lite) and open it to see what the file/folder structure is of the ISO that PD saves?
In any case, even if the ISO PD saves is not in a VIDEO_TS folder format filled with .VOB (video object), .IFO (info) and .BUP (backup) files that a DVD player needs you can always just use the copy of the disc you created using CREATE DISC that does play for you to make more copies from it in the manner I detailed above.
You can also just insert the disc that plays for you into your drive and open ImgBurn and select 'Create Image File from Disc' option to create an ISO from it that will be in a proper format to burn and play in a DVD or Blu-ray player. If it's a dual layer DVD then ImgBurn will prompt you through selecting the proper layer break needed for it and it will save as an ISO and MDS file and to burn to new DVD just right click the MDS and select 'Burn using ImgBurn'.
I tried BillW's other suggestion above using ImgBurn. When I use the playable disc and "Create Image File from Disc" I get an error from Img Burn. (see attached image).

If you have already produced a DVD that plays ("using CREATE DISC"![]() you can load it into your drive and go to Start > Computer > right click on the drive and select 'Open' > And there you will see a VIDEO_TS folder and possibly an AUDIO_TS folder along with it that's usually empty.
You can drag and drop the folder(s) from the disc to any location on your computer and then burn them back to a new DVD using ImgBurn's "Write Files and Folders to Disc" option (just click the option and you can just drag and drop the folder(s) into the open area of the ImgBurn window) and it will see what you are trying to burn and burn it in the correct ISO9660+UDF format recognized by DVD & Blu-ray players. After adding the folders to ImgBurn you should check the 'Device' tab and set the write speed to one of the supported write speeds listed there for your drive and that type media.
I tried BillW's tip with ImgBurn using a playable DVD created by PD13 using the copied folders from the DVD using "Write Files and Folders to Disc" but the DVD would not load on my player.
I noticed ImgBurn has several UDF versions to choose from.
Which is correct - or does it make any difference??
Thanks

Please see my topic http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/42989.page
I think ISO Viewer my be part of the Power2Go software.
BillW offered a solution using ImgBurn
"You can also just insert the disc that plays for you into your drive and open ImgBurn and select 'Create Image File from Disc' option to create an ISO from it that will be in a proper format to burn and play in a DVD or Blu-ray player. If it's a dual layer DVD then ImgBurn will prompt you through selecting the proper layer break needed for it and it will save as an ISO and MDS file and to burn to new DVD just right click the MDS and select 'Burn using ImgBurn'."

I seem to have found the answer. Right-click on the .iso file. Choose "Open with ISO Viewer" from the menu. CyberLink ISO Viewer will open. Click on the "Burn to disc" button.

I am having the same problem with PD13. Where did you find Cyberlink ISO Viewer??
Thanks

I didn't know there were other types of ISO images.
If PD13 could generate the ISO9660+UDF it would save us a lot of headaches. It seems strange to me that they would generate a non-playable ISO image. Should we request it from Cyberlink or is there a reason they don't do it??

I like the "ynotfish".
Do you know of any other way to highlight an area of a clip or pic with PD13??

I have PD13 Ultimate upgraded from PD 12.
My New Blue Video Essentials shows only two lines of ten (20 in total).
The Cyberlink "Working With Plug-Ins PD13 Tutorial" shows five lines of New Blue (50 in total).
Where do I find the other 30 (I'm looking for "spotlight")
See screens attached
Thanks

An ISO is not a DVD. It's an 'image' of the disc in a single file that contains everything from the DVD but being a single file it doesn't have the correct structure (folders and files) that a DVD player needs to see. You need to burn as a true DVD or BD disc.
p.s. In the past, when I was still working and producing dozens of different DVD's and CD's a month, I used to store an ISO of each one on our network. I always did an initial run of around 500 discs initially but then very often had to run more off and that was where the ISO was useful for me. I used Nero at that time and could simply load the ISO in question and run it off as needed, a quicker process than having to read an original disc in.
Thanks Longedge,
I am a bit confused - I thought an ISO image was just that - a mirror image of the disk. Why does VLC media player play it perfectly with menus etc?
Please explain how you used Nero to produce DVD's from the the ISO on your netork. That could work for me.
What is the ISO option in PD13 used for?
I'm trying to store my output DVD on my hard drive so that I can make copies as needed without going through the lengthy process of using PD13 to re-render and creatre a disk from the project every time I need one.
Thanks Again for your help,
Al

Hi Guys,
I have created a 30 minute flyfishing video with PD 13.
When I PRODUCE a DVD (2D) using CREATE DISC it takes about 30 min to render and write to my DVD and plays perfectly on my Samsung Home Theater BluRay Player. I want to make 10 copies for our club so I used PD13 to create an ISO Image which I can burn to DVD in about 3 minutes.
The resulting ISO file plays perfectly with menus using VLC MEDIA PLAYER.
I have used IMGBURN and NERO Burning Rom to write the ISO File to DVD and the resulting DVD will not play on my Samsung BluRay player. It says "cannot load disc".
Any suggestions as to why the ISO disc image will not play?? Or what I am doing wrong?
I thought an ISO image would be an easy way to produce duplicate DVD's as needed??
Thanks,
Al

Does that mean that my mp4 50fps will give me better SloMo with Power Tools than 25 fps?

I have a GoPro Hero3+ Black and my vids are shot at 1080/50 PAL.
The quality is truly amazing and I shoot at 50 frames thinking that it is better for slo-mo than 25 fps.
I normally go through the lengthy process of of using GoPro Studio (latest version) to trim and convert all files to AVI and then import into my PD 13 Ult.
My observations are as follows:
1) GoPro Studio AVI show a loss in video quality when compared to the MP4 video.
2) If I import both the AVI and MP4 clips onto my timeline the rendered output quality is better on the MP4.
3) The GoPro Edit effects on the generated AVI files (SloMo etc) is not as good when imported onto my timeline as the same effects applied on the original MP4 file using PD 13.
4) PD 13 seems to handle GoPro Mp4 just fine so I no longer use GoPro Studio or generate those huge AVI files.
I may be wrong so would appreciate feedback from other GoPro users -Thanks.
Question - What happens to a the 1080/50fps MP4 clip when I import it onto my PD13 timeline and my Project setting are 25fps. I get a warning of a frame-rate conflict, click OK and it is added to my timeline.
Is converted to the project frame rate (25fps) by PD or does it remain as 50fps - which should give me better SloMo results frpm Power Director???
