720x480 AVI files display correctly at 720x480

Why do PD7 created 720x480 MPEG2 videos viewed with PowerDVD or VLC media player display as 720x540?
|

I have videos from a digital camera encoded in MJPEG and for some reason they all have blank/black 1 pixel horizontal lines at the bottom. When I output to MPEG2 from PD7 it retains the black line, played in windows media player appears as a 5-6 pixel high hazy orange line and if converted to another codec turns into a 4 pixel blurred line. Is there any way to avoid this? Remove/crop out the blank area? If MJPEG converted with format factory to MPEG2 the line is removed but the first frame of the video is pixelated and blurry.

When choosing output format in produce w/PD7, for MP4 it says it has similar quality but takes less space. However, producing the same project with the same settings produces larger .mt2s (MP4) files than .mp2 files. I used 720x480, q=6, bitrate 8MB/s for both.

I had never installed a trial version before; I had version 3 installed but the trail said it was uninstalling it before it installed itself. I emailed the registry entry. It looked like the date info was in there but I couldn't tell how it was coded. Thanks for the help.

Cyberlink promotes the ultra version because it supports AVCHD.
Is the only directly usable support burning a disk?
Can it output a high res AVCHD file for viewing on a freely available player?
mp4 files fully support AVCHD (h.264) up to 1920x1080.

Looked from trial only MPEG-4 output was to .m2ts files and external conversion programs I've tried noticeably degrade video quality even at 43 mbs. Is this a trial limitation or is trial of deluxe and not ultra version?

Downloaded trial version May 31
installed it, ran it, played with it for awhile
next morning went to look at it again and it said your 30 day trail period is over
tried reinstalling, no luck
what's up? Just want to try before I buy

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback and sorry about the shot at PD, it'd be great if it could output any type/size but that is asking a lot. I'm mainly worried about loss w/conversions, is wmv a lossless format, or what is the best intermediate format from PD if conversion is required?
The tests I was doing w/FormatFactory were 640x480 mpeg2 @ 8.5 mbs to 640x480 mov, mp4, avi, and mpeg2 @ 8.5 mbs to ensure any degradation was not from expansion; they all looked much worse than the original. However, I just tried the .m2ts 1440x1080 test file I made w/PD7 trail to 1024x768 mp4 and it looked great; wish I could try PD7 a little more.
I haven't found out exactly how the videos will be displayed but QT on PC blurs the 640x480 mov in fullscreen (Media Player plays 640x480 in fullscreen flawlessly)

Tony - for super, the only quicktime compatible output I saw was avi, dv
codec, which would only output in 640x480
FormatFactory produced horrible video quality (compared to original mpeg-2 8520 kb/s) in every format, looked like it was deinterlacing (or interlacing whichever way that goes), had visible horizontal lines
the tutorial shows that PD7 has a max mov width of 640
Robert - The trail version did output hd formats in mpeg4 .h2ts files but there was no 1024x768 setting and quicktime won't play .h2ts files. If it isn't listed in the trial limitations I would assume what I see is what I would get with ultra. Is .ht2s the only file type produced for mpeg-4 output?
Dafydd - the artshow organizers are going to project videos onto walls using quicktime to play them so it must be a quicktime compatible file. Also, I don't think I want a streaming format since it will be played from a hard disk, especially if I have to convert it again. Size is not an issue, just quality. Would that be .mp4 for QT?
I cannot try PD7 any longer. I downloaded and installed it yesterday afternoon and this morning it said my 30 day trail expired. (new month?)
Tried setting date back, deleting any cyberlink files & reinstalling, no luck.
Yes Tony this should have been an easy task, I am sadly disappointed that PowerDirector has not made it so.

I created it with version 3, 640x480 mpeg2 & mov. Unfortunately quicktime blurs the video in full screen 1024x768 whereas Windows media blows the mpg file to full screen perfectly. I'm trying ver 7 which still has a max 640x480 mov file and I can't figure out ANY way to output a 1024x768 file.
Is .m2ts the only high resolution output file PD generates?

I produced a video which was accepted in an art show and now they want a quicktime format 1024x768 file to display it in the show. How can I get my project into this format?
