Can I run two versions of PD on the same computer?

Hi, Carl!

As it happens, I found the DVD SP setting by chance. I have to say, clips rendered from Hi-Def content like AVCHD or MP4, actually scrub up quite well when rendered to DVD SP. Using DVD SP I'm able to squeeze two hours onto a standard 4.7 Gb DVD(single layer). I don't use dual-layer discs for anything other than file storage as the last time I tried to burn a dual-layer DVD, only the computer would play it(yes, it had been "finalised"), domestic DVD players will quite readily accept and play commercially-made dual-layer discs)My Harry Potter movie collection proves that), but they "spit the dummy" on home-burn dual-layer discs. So, for that reason, I keep it simple... DVD SP, burn to single-layer and fit 2 hours + onto one disc.

Cheers!

Neil.

Hi, Piet!

This thread is already a year old but as your question is sort-of related, I'm happy to answer it. Yes, you can reinstall PD11 if you're running PD14 currently, the two versions will happily sit beside each other on one computer, in fact, any version of PD from Version 9 onward can run on the same computer with an earlier or later version, however this is not so with Power Director versions 8 or earlier(a word of caution), i.e., PD8 will want you to uninstall PD7 or earlier, but PD9 or later versions will install alongside PD8 OR PD7 OR any ONE earlier version. So, if you have your installation disc for PD11 at hand, yes, go ahead and reinstall.

Cheers!

Neil.
