Hi friends, I am receiving a notification to update PD 11. I am reluctant because I have read a thread whose writer was speaking about disturbed performance after installing the update? Any advice on that?

Thanks, Mowaffak

Hi Mowaffak -

The only issue I've come across with the latest patch (because of playsound's post) is this - http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/27989.page

Aside from that, all is well with the 2707 patch here.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Mowaffak,
I'm really "old school" when it comes to video editing with computers. "If it isn't broke, don't try and fix it". Take a look at the changes in the patch, are you affected by any of them? If you are then patch, if not, hang back.

If you have a problem using PDR11, you'd be asked to upgrade and then an issue would be looked at. If you don't have any issues and PDR11 is functioning fine for you - carry on with your set up.

I've see many editors post new issues when they have updated their OS with a patch, so be aware of OS updates as well.

Looks like a worthwhile update patch to me.

Thank you all, I definitely agree with Dafydd. The current version is running fine. But it seems that no serious issues are their with the new patch. I will review it and make my mind.

Thanks,

Just to add to this, it depends on the prgm. If it is working as should I usually lleave it alone. But the tweaker in me thiniks hey what does this shiny new update do... and then I break down and install it. It up works better I keep it- if not I downgrade to the older version. (Which can be a pain and involve a total re-install. So be aware.)

This new update- 2707 to me seems a lot more stable. I can throw a lot more transitions etc. into my videos and the prgm won't get crazy and quit for some unexplained reason. So this update gets the thumbs up from me. Your mileage of course may vary.
