As some of you may recall I have a Canon HF-S30 HD video camera and had some issues before where the last frame in every clip was freeezing http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/18265.page#94086 and that a reinstall seemed to have fixed it.
Well unfortunately that's not the case and even worse I can not produce any projects that are of a decent length. I have managed to produce a couple of movies of up to 20 minutes but now I have two projects each of about 45 minutes long that I can not produce.
Ideally I want to produce them as H.264 AVCHD (1920x1080 24Mbs same as the footage was shot at) but the program seems to freeze at various points when producing. The freeze always seems to relate to a time when there is a change of clip or a transition etc. The time code of the movie just freezes but the time to complete just keeps increasing. I can click on the cancel rendering button and sometimes PD9 works fine after that and other times it locks completely. One project has never gotten past 10%.
I have made sure my graphic drivers are up to date, made sure I have a lot of free space on the C: drive and the drive that I store my video files on. I have tried to write the produce files to either drive, I do not enable preview on production, I have tried it with and without hardware acceleration. I have closed as many background tasks as I am comfortable doing, I have suspended the realtime protection of my antivirus software and NOTHING has helped.
I am pulling my hair out at the moment especially because I am now suffering frequent lock ups and crashes while editing so to get my 45 minute project has taken a week of nightly editing and hair loss.
I have not yet tried to reinstall PD9 again but I would hope I don't have to do so before every new project. I also haven't changed any of the camera setting from earlier projects (still high res 24fps, 24Mbs).
I have attached my DXDiag files and hope that someone has a suggestion. If you see a weak link in the hardware that could be causing this I am happy to invest.
PD9 worked fine on this PC for my old DV camera but this new HD camera footage seems to be causing issues. (I knew it would take more power to edit HD footage but wasn't expecting so many issues).
Thanks in advance,
