Hi Dafydd,
Thanks very much for all your help and assistance and thank you to everyone else who has aided me with my PD9 problem.
I am currently liaising with the Technical Support Team to hopefully resolve the incompatibility with Sony Camcorders and or Sony PS3.
In the mean time I will be reverting to my old video editing software VideoStudio X3 as it is able to do what I want.
I am very disappointed to have spent so much money on PD9 and yet it isn't able to do the very basic tasks I require of it.
Hopefully a patch will be released in the near future and my money will not have been entirely wasted!
Cheers again,
Rhodri
