no, or kind of. it would be nice with a patch supporting multichannel

Hi JapSeyz,

no, or kind of. it would be nice with a patch supporting multichannel

I realise that others here on this thread have been trumpeting other advice to you and opinions on what was the cause of the problem. They were wrong. A solution was not provided and the advice given just led you "up a garden path" to nowhere fast.

Please read what I wrote:

I know you're adamant it isn't Fraps. I'm not. I see the situation as being Fraps capturing footage off and from your active gaming screen. I see you state the original plays fine - members need to test the original unedited footage. The audio & video codec, bitrate, video resolution, frame size, fps can and will have an effect when the video is brought into PD. If you have video that exceeds the parameters for the editing program you will get a distorted finished video. That doesn't mean that PD is at fault, it often means the video source material is being recorded outside acceptable parameters.
Example: Video recorded at 29.97fps with a frame size of 720x576 will cause PD to fall over in some cases. It is a mixed PAL and NTSC.

Right at the beginning of this thread, Michael had pointed to everyone, the direction to look at ie FRAPS. While some looked and couldn't see (wittering off on a tangent and blaming PD10 and more!), including yourself, the issue remained a FRAPS problem, the selections by you in FRAPS, of parameters beyond the accepted settings in PowerDirector 10 for screencapture video/audio files was the problem and could only be resolved as Michael hinted, by changing the few Fraps audio choices you could make.

This thread was dragged out to 3 pages when the issue should have been sorted in about 3 to 5 posts if
1. The basic information had been asked for.
2. The informational replies had been made and data given initially.

This forum is for CyberLink products, it is NOT a FRAPS support clinic.

http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/15/21089.page#112240 - that post, requesting basic information, was rated pretty poorly by the star fairy. Had that information been provided earlier, it may have been resolved well short of 3 pages.

If a MediaInfo report isn't basic information, I don't know what is!

Members do their best to help fellow PD users resolve issues - and there are plenty of them. Ordinary PD users & forum members cannot be right all the time, nor provide the right answer first time on the basis of limited information. No - it's not wrong to try to help people resolve issues. It's not wrong to offer workarounds. There are many things that are wrong, but they don't include genuinely trying to help someone.

As you're aware, the options & settings in FRAPS are very limited - for audio, just about zilch!

No - it's not a FRAPS support forum, but his problem ONLY occurs in PD. He doesn't need help using FRAPS. He needs help editing with his PD.

Yes - it's obviously related to his set-up, and how his PD interacts with FRAPS & the rest of his system. Other users just haven't been able to replicate the problem.

The guy's a gamer who records his screen & wants to edit the video with PD. He just wants to work out why his PD doesn't want to play with his FRAPS. His FRAPS is fine. His PD ain't.

Hopefully, when he's able to run it through a converter his PD will be happier.

Cheers - Tony

The above is the post you should explain further. Can you do that?

I addressed the issue and the way this thread was miss-directed.

This forum is NOT a support clinic for third party software.

NONE of us here is an expert. I am a video editor, with a lot of knowledge.

If you quote me, then quote the whole post and not bit part extractions taken out of the whole.

So what dó you think? Is Fraps recording in a non Worning milti Channel? Or can't Fraps handle it
