Hello. I am new to this forum and came here after some extreme frustration with Version 12 that came with the Diamond MM NTSC Video Capture device I just purchased. By the way, that device is awesome -- has done a great job of capturing old VHS and 8mm Video. The PD12 license that came with the hardware has worked OK for the captured NTSC video, but it's become a real frustration trying to use it for more modern video coming from my Sony HD Camcorder (.mts files). It seemed to just choke on them, not produce any audio, etc., so I tried converting them to .mp4 using HandBreak. That enabled PD12 to at least be able to work with the files. However, after stringing together several clips to make a single movie (of a kid's concert), the program crashes frequently, especially when related to fades. I'm therefore wondering if it's worth the investment to buy the upgrade to PD16. I have Windows 10 Professional with 8GB RAM and plenty of HDD space, both on the SSD and the "spinner." Processor is Core i5-3360M at 2.8 GHz with dedicated video board. (HP EliteBook laptop)
My chief complaints about PD12 has been:
- Can't work with native .MTS files from the Sony HD camcorder (1080 HD) -- needs to first convert to .h264 using handbrake.
- Won't install in 64-bit mode no matter what I tell the installer to do. It always ends up installing 32-bit mode (I presume 64-bit mode would work better).
- It frequently crashes whenever I try to insert a cross-fade between clips.
In your collective opinions, if I take the plunge and buy the Version 16, would these issues go away?
Thanks!
