Some of the keys are stored on the lead-in area of the disk, which is generally only read by compliant drives. Keys can be passed from a DVD drive to a descrambler over a PC bus using a secure handshake protocol.
You can't write there with a normal drive and recordable DVD blanks.

2) Go to Produce tab and select default profiles and use the H.264, MP4 MPEG-4 4K 4096x2160/30p (50Mbps) profile
3) Make sure Fast video rendering technology: NVIDIA NVENC is selected for hardware encoding on the Produce page
I would say that today, everyting should be exported in h265 format. Same bitrate, but better quality.
Of course the hardware encoders need to be latest generation... for nvidia Ampere and Turing GPUs (except TU117). Because they have the most features for HEVC:

Hello,
Have tried to add my GPU as the preferred graphics processor in the Nvidia setting, but it's greyed out. I believe that's the main issue.
That's beause you have a laptop with an integrated video card and without a dedicated video mux. The Intel encoder is used because nvidia has to pass-trough the intel video.
There are portable workstations, that have a hardware video mux, but they are usually more expensive.
The 3D settings you adjust applu only to the 3D cores, not to the nvenc portion of the nvidia GPU. That portion is used for conversion to h264/h265 video.
3D cores are used very seldom by the PD, only in some effects, marked as such (GPU).
PS: It's a well known issue and other video encoder programs suffer from it too.

I live in Spain and have a few friends who have bought from Backmarket and the quality of the laptops is first class, so i've been looking on there but I'm left a little bamboozled by lots of the figures on there. My budget is only around €400
Thhose money barely can buy a decent desktop. A laptop in that price range would be as useful as your old one.
Unless heavily discounted.

I have tried that file on my system (RTX3080Ti) and it yield 56 sec.
The 3D usage (CUDA cores) during this was minimal, like 3%.
The NVENC showed Decoding 4K at 98% usage and Encoding in H265 was at 40% usage. I think that was the bottleneck.
PS: That's a nice feature, I saw indeed the same "download and install component" before first usage.

The wonderful ways MS helps us 
Ctrl+Shift+C copies text formatting and Ctrl+Shift+V pastes it.
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+V makes it work in this forum.
Thank you!

That's correct, in Edge browser, copy/paste puts just the page title text, not the link. Example of above link, directly Copy/pasted:

Seems that there are a lot of folks on youtube using this software "commercially" and it's certainly not clearly stated, that I've ever seen, that you're not supposed to use it to make money. That would render it useless.
It depends how "visible" you are. You won't get sued if there are no money to make from you.
A lot of other NLE software that are more expensive are granted to be used for commerical use, because they included those licensing fees in their cost.
Read this and make your own decision:

Nice video.
Small obs: A bit too much glare in the glasses lens. Maybe change the light source direction next time?
PS: PowerDirector is not meant for commericla use, per their TOS. Basically they didn't pay commerical licensing fees for the mp4, h264, h265 formats. Those are free to use only for non-commercial users.
I am not sure if monetizing a channel in YT fits that definition, I would say it does.

I was editing a recent video that had 3 4K videos overlaid with text, effects, and crop/zoom edits. When I added time acceleration on two for the overlaid clips, the system just hung up. The audio kept going, but the edit line and preview froze.
What encoding format were those files?
Windows/PD can work hardware accelerated with mpeg-4, h264, H265, HEVC encoders.
If you come from Apple, you will find out that files native for that (MOV containers, Pro Video Formats) will be very slow in Windows. That's because those formats are proprietary and Apple didn't care to provide a performant codec for Windows.
That's part of Apple marketing scheme.
Also make sure you have those checked:
PS: You won't see any differences between the 3070 and 3080Ti. Their NVDEC/NVENC are identical.
Also, you can use for storage any decent HDD, don't need an NVME, the bottleneck is not on the storage system.
Memory latecy is a thing, hopefully Windows will deal with that better.
PPS: Thinkgs might change with DirectStore (Windows 11 and somewhat in Windows 10). However the apps need to be re-written to get access to that new technology.

I keep all my installed my programs on C: because, if you format and reinstall Windows, they will need to be re-installed too.
But all my other assets are kept on the D: drive (separated from C - photos, videos, downloads, documents. I back them out automatically on an extrenal drive too.

Unfortunatelly that trend was started by sofware companies oferings for businesses. Businesses like that model because they can bill that as expenses for their business and therefore is easily tax deductible and also they charge their clients for that.
Autodesk, Microsoft... I get it.
But this software is not for business usage, it is stated so in their EULA!
They actually don't have licenses for mpeg or mp4 codecs, so those file formats cannot be used commercially (I would argue that even the monetized Youtube content is comercial).
I see how they lure people with the extra features that they give away for the 365 subscribers, but I wonder... who is activelly using those?
Not for me.

I am currently using PD18 Ultra but am considering moving to PD 365 because of all the new and extra video overlays, particles, etc. If I purchase it, then stop the subscription at some later date, will the software still work? Of course, no new items will be available to me after my subscription expires, correct?
No. You don't buy any of the software, you are just renting it for the duration of payment.
Stop payment, the access to all of the software functions stops.

Since long I have to change the default NTSC USA in the batch production to the (PAL) setting of my country.
You don't need to do that, your country doesn't have PAL anymore. Neither does US have NTSC anymore.

One last thing is that if I set all 3 apps to either Let Windows decide or to High Performance under Graphics Settings, PD's hardware selection box is empty. That means that only the Low Power setting works, although NVENC can be still selected at produce time.
That's strange. Maybe is a bug in Windows 11?

Crashing is not a good sign...
But can you try to manually add the three programs decribed here to the Windows 11?

I guess I can purchase any specific tracks via the likes of iTunes or Amazon Music etc.. , and then import from there.
That purchase would be actually only of the right to use those tracks for personal listening, not for any commercial use.
You never "own" the music you are buying, unless you buy the actual catalog rights to it. Same with the software.

I have a video from my dashcamera and I want to blur a licenceplate of the car in front of me. The distance between cars changes, and the apparent size and location of the car/plate on the screen changes.
I am trying to use the motion tracker to track that plate and it's all over the place. It doesn't track the changes in size or position, it kind of tracks the object... but not very convincing. Error of tracking is too big.
Did anyone had success with this? Is there something special to do to keep this tracking tighter?
