Quote Karjak, did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have Version 12 LE and an Easycap, but I only see 6 icons. I have not managed to get PD to edit video captured by the Easycap software (another post) -- and now I can't get PD working directly with the capture device. Not quite ready to spend the money on a paid version whilst the trial one doesn't work.

I think maybe my problem is that I have a watered down version of PD 12. Clicking my logo shows 64 bit PD 12 DE (deluxe?). It was included with my HP computer I bought a year ago. If you look at my picture of my own screen In capture mode I only have 6 icons on top. 1. DV Camcoreder 2. HDV Camcorder 3. Webcam 4. Microphone 5.CD 6. External or Optical device.

I noticed in the YouTube still picture that I show, there are 8 icons on top. I do not get a seperate Video analog TV Icon. Does this icon only pop up if you have a device plugged in such as I have or is it always visible on top?

Yes the PD12 DE is not Deluxe but a watered down version preinstalled on my new HP computer. So I don't have all the functions. What irks me is that if they give you a program with limited functions, they should make make sure one is given a comparison chart to see which functions are available/not available. I think they do have such a chart one can see on their website for the PD12 LE version. Instead of DE standing for Deluxe, it stands for Dumb n Empty.It would have been nice to capture and edit directly, but have learned not available. I can do as you do.

The PD12 DE actually came with the HP Envy laptop I purchased. I was already sold on the laptop and thought that PD12 was icing on the cake. Bummed to find out it's not a better version. The upgrade cost to PD14 Ultra was around $70 I believe. I won't need all of the features, but I'm sure there are some that will be worth it.

I also had some confusion on recognizing features available on my PowerDirector 12 DE that came with my HP pavillion desktop. Thought the DE meant Deluxe and when I went to the comparison chart thought I should have TV analog capture available. Biggest gripe is that there should be a comparison chart listing of the OEM DE version so I can know whether I actually want to upgrade.

A bummer going through using the program and then coming into a block where the program can not do what you thought it could do. I see that for the Trial version they do have a comparison chart listing the features it has/does not have with other versions. Shoiuld be done for the OEM versions also, rather than wasting time and being confusion for potential users. Wonder if there is a place to find out what features I actually have?

Quote Hi,

I can't recall any major issues with installing it, and I've just loaded PD12 back on to test and it picked it up straight away.

Do you have 8 icons on top always visible when you go to Capture Mode in PD12?

Thank You Much - Karl K.

Thanks Barry

Yes I did. Thinking maybe my version just doesn't have this option.

Thanks for responding Adrian.

Quote You can ask the moderator to move your post to the PowerDirector (previous version) forum instead of this PowerDVD forum which is for a different product. It is not really going to make a difference to me since this to me this is not a powerdirector problem.

You may be able to get some help there.

Thanks!

In Capture mode get no recognition of my device. On the Capture page the Analog video Icon does not show for selection. Selecting microphone icon (which is visible) does recognize audio capture. My device video is recognized by other programs including OBS Studio and Honestech TVR 2.5. Instruction clip on YouTube shows Easier Cap device working seamlessly with Power Director.

In Capture mode no recoginition of my device. Does not show Icon for analog TV which i think is where it should show. Capture Mode microphone Icon recognizes audio capture. Device that I have is recognized on my PC with OBS video program also Honestech TVR 2.5 software it came with.

Instructional video on YouTube where same device seamlesly reconized in Power Director
