I have Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Radeon HD 5570 card and PowerDirector 9 64 bit. I can't select either of the above items in "Produce" for MPEG 4 or ANV. Whats up?

Thanks Paul

I don't know what ANV is, but a lot of MPEG 4 video is not supported by SVRT. I don't know about hardware encoding. My computer is busy, but I will test it later. __________________________________

Sorry I meant AVC H.264.

My guess is that your inability to choose SVRT and Hardware Acceleration is because your video card is not on the list of "supported" cards listed within the PD9 REQUIREMENTS section.

Reference Page: http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector/requirements_en_US.html

I have an older 2009 ATI 4350HD graphics card. It's not on the list and I can't select SVRT or Hardware encoding in the Produce section either.

You'll find forum members who have "non-supported" cards that are able to choose SVRT and H.A. within the Produce section of PD9, but the Cyberlink techs who put that page together when PD9 was introduced in 2010 were very specific about graphic cards, operating systems, RAM requirements, etc..

Thanks Allen. I am pretty new to video editing so was just going throught the manual for PD 9 step by step and I found something I could not get to work. At this point I am not even sure what the function does. Thanks for your input. I am really looking forwad to using the PD 9 software.
