No it does it for you. But read my post first if you work with different formats like .m2t and want to convert to AVCHD 1920x1080. It is a game changer.

Thanks Mike,

I am new to this...so how do I find your post?

Thanks Again

Update, I finally got PD8 working again, but you must do some work to do it right. I'm posting what support said to do. I must support their plan do load the program as such:

Please follow the steps given below:

1. Increase Virtual memory :

1. Right click on "MyComputer"
2. Select Properties -> Advance
3. Click on "settings" under Performance.
4. Select "Advance"
5. Click on "change" under Virtual memory.
6. Select "Custom" and enter initial value as "2048" and Max value as "4096".

NOTE: If your existing settings are higher than recommended then leave them as before.

2. Empty the contents of the: \Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Then empty Recycle Bin.

3. Upgrade DirectX to 9.0c.

3. Try to work on a project. If the issue still persists then uninstall and reinstall PowerDirector.

4. Update VGA driver and sound card drivers. Contact your computer manufacturer to update the drivers.

5. To avoid any compatibility issues, please close all other software and utility applications including virus scans, screen saver and instant messaging software before you launch.

Mentioned below are the Re-Installation steps:

(1) Remove all other unnecessary DVD/CD burning software.

(2) Please uninstall PowerDirector (by following steps)

(a) Start --> Programs --> PowerDirector--> Uninstall PowerDirector

(b) Start --> Run (Type "regedit") --> HKEY_Current_User --> Software --> Cyberlink --> PowerDirector(Delete the folder)

(c) Start --> Run (Type "regedit") --> HKEY_Local_Machine --> Software --> Cyberlink -->PowerDirector(delete the folder)

Restart the system.

Now, re-install PowerDirector software.

If issue persists then please Start Windows in Selective Startup mode.

a. Click on Start.
b. Click on Run.
c. Type msconfig and click on OK.
d. A System Configuration Utility window will come up.
e. On General tab, select Selective Startup.
f. Uncheck "Load Startup Items".
g. Click on Apply.
h. Click on OK.
i. Click on Close.
j. It will ask you to restart your computer. Click on "Restart".


This made my program finally work.

Hi Graham

A total un-install of the previous version is strongly recommended.

Michael Jon,

I don't know what's going on with your computer, but I've never had to do any that to get PD working. I use Canon mts files all the time and PD8 has always imported them without a problem.
