I've been trialing the Powerdirector 9 Deluxe and have a couple of questions before I buy, so if anyone can help with answers, much appreciated.

Firstly, I had been trialing on my old XP system and two days ago I got my new Windows 7 setup.
After installing the trail version of the software it won't recognise or add the DivX codec for compressing files
for production to AVI. Any ideas?

And the other thing, when producing to DVD's it's seriously over estimating the size of the output file.
I'm having to output to a file on the hard drive and telling PD9 that it's going to be an 8.5Gb disc.
Is this sorted when you install the Full Version or is it a major flaw?

Hope someone can answer these.

Again, much appreciated.

McDave.

Major flaw in my opinion. Panasonic SD9, Panasonic TM700, Panasonic SD600, GoPro HD Hero.

Oh dear. if it does it in the full version I'm not paying for that.

Size estimation has not been particularly reliable in past versions either. You can fit about 1 hour of video using the DVD HQ profile. Q9300 2.5 GHz
4 GB Ram
Nvidia 9800 GT
