Good morning all.. I have several questions today. I'm evaluating PD9 for purchase (because I was led to believe PD10 is 64 bit and not compatible with WinXP PRO and my Dell D630 Laptop ) The specs for my Laptop are...

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
System Model Latitude D630
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11 GenuineIntel ~2194 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. A18, 12/6/2011
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-2111)"
Total Physical Memory 3,072.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 2.10 GB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB


Am I correct in this? If I am not correct and should be looking at PD10, which of the versions / iterations would be best for my situation.. which is that I exclusively work with self shot HD video and photos from my Nikon D5100 DSLR and want the final product to end up on a DL 8.5 GB AVCHD disk or eventually when I buy one, Blue Ray disks.

Question 2. When initially running PD9, and then when trying to launch PD9 Menu Designer a DOS window flashed by so fast I could not even begin to read it and the program(s) blew up ... failed to run. I used a screen capture process to catch the DOS window as it went by and found the message (graphic attached) was a warning that PD9 (and then the PD9 menu tool) was trying to load a DLL, but some other DLL was already running, and that I should change an environmental variable to allow both to run at the same time (not recommended due to performance issues) or delete the pre-existing DLL. I chose the latter solution and then both programs ran without a problem. Do we have some idea what's up with this problem, and is their a system log file I could have gone to to find these problems?

Question 3. Finally... menu modification in PD9 is whupping my backside. I have a video with about 19 subtitles which I want to each be a button on the disc menu, but I can't figure out how to add pages to the menu structure or link the subtitles to the various subtitles on the timeline. Is there a tutorial I can watch which would explain this process?

Thanks all!

Have a great weekend!
