Quote: Hi Members,
PowerDirector has been launched today, wow that was a surprise to me, ha ha.

I have been using PowerDirector 10 for the last couple of months and I'm really pleased with the new features. One of which is Intelligent SVRT and it now handles my mp4's. I used it with a good number of formats, not everyone's. JL's canon footage was super, the Panasonic HD footage I have was no problem.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll all fire some questions onto the forum.

PowerDirector 9 and 10 can reside on the same computer.

Have fun.

How about footage from Canon HV 30 (HD tape) and Panasonic TM90 (1080P)? Self Built PC - W7 Pro 64 bit w/ SP1

I don't have TM90 footage. I don't have any HDV tape footage.

tm90 is exact same format as TM900, so it should work. But I was actually refering to the 1080P (vs 1080i) footage. Many programs have trouble with that. Surely it still imports and allows HD tape? Self Built PC - W7 Pro 64 bit w/ SP1

Just bought version 9 yesterday!! Upgrade is $60+ dollars!!
This doesn't seem fair in my opinion as it is $99.00 to purchase it now out right. This make the free Media cafe' not free I got with 9 and I'm paying collectively over $140+ dollars.

vesper,
You are quite right to be concerned. All you need do is contact CyberLink and you should be given PD10 at no additional charge. CyberLink have a policy to provide the latest version of PD if a newer one is released within one month of your purchase.

Provide the order number, full name and contact information and support should help you.

Good-O! Thanks! I'll try that and suspend my refund request for now. Thank you.

Update: **Just got a response from Cyberlink support, they advised they can't provide a free upgrade for 3-4 more days. I wonder why that is? Odd to me as they will sell you an upgrade no problem right now.

So.......... is PD10 ultra designed toward Pinnacle Studio (consumer) type of customers or more toward Avid Studio (prosumer) ?

I am just starting to investigate PD, and trying to find the market comparison for PD.

How many patches did they release for version 9?
It's my impression that you basically have to pay 60 for patches. (upgrade)

A patch is different from a full upgrade like PD 10. Patches are usually free. I bought PD 9 yesterday lol, and now they want $60.00 for an upgrade. That would put be above $140.00 for a $99.00 piece of software currently, that doesn't make sense. Media Cafe' was thrown in with my purchase for free but that nullifies that perceived gain.

I was told as noted above though that they offer a free upgrade if you purchased in the last 30 days. I contacted Cyberlink and was told I would have to wait 3-4 more days and to submit another request again. This perplexed me a bit.
I think I may just 'try' and do the refund, not sure how that will go.

I'll wait a few days though. I'll DL PD 10 for now and play with the new features. Looks really nice!

Why are we being ripped off again, the US price is approx $100, so why in Australia, are we being charged $A130 with no option to pay in US$. On current exchange rates the Aussie price should be cheaper than the US price.
