Hi

I am Newbie who just purchased PD.

I wanted to create a DVD using 3 'ts' files from a previous PVR recording I did.

1) I draged the 3 ts files into the PD's Time Line
2) As I clicked on the top 'Create Disc' button it took like 1 minute or so before switching to the DVD page
Lots of Hard Drive activity
3) After playing with the menu I then clicked on 'Create Disc' button which then did nothing except
make the Hard Drive work flat out
4) I waited for a about 5 minutes (no change, hard drive to still going like crazy) then clicked on the 'Edit' button
to quit from that page
5) Then I tried doing the whole process again and it worked fine!

Similar issue as this http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/28650.page

Intel 2 Duo/2.2GHz 4gb Ram 1TB Sata drive Nvidia GeForce 7300SE and Win7 32bit

Peter:

Welcome to the PD11 Forum. I think that your PC may be a bit underpowered if you are trying to edit/burn "ts" files, which I take to mean "mts" or "mt2s" HD files. The minimum specs for PD11 Deluxe, the least resource hungry version, can be found at the link below:

Your graphics card is vintage 2006 and is noted for not handling HD files well. It is also not on the list of PD11 supported Nvidia cards.

The best course would be for you to attach a dxdiag file (instructions in a sticky note at the top of the forum) so that we can determine whether your issue might be due to a hardware insufficiency. Also make sure that you have the latest video driver from your card (go to the Nvidia site) and also the latest version of QuickTime installed.

I suspect that when you exited PD11 and restarted that you might have freed up some RAM, which was just enough for you to complete the burn on your second try, but it sounds like your PC might be marginal for handling HD video.

Hope that this is of some help. Have a great day.

Yes, the PC is nothing special I know.

I will also try it on my Laptop (i7 64bit 8gb ram) and see how it behaves.

I saw a post with similar issues so I thought mention it just in case.

Hello

Just to report on another test, I tried the same thing on my Laptop (i7 64bit 8gb ram Win7)

1) I Imported 3 ts files (total size is 16gb) this took like 5 minutes just to show the icons
2) I then draged the files in the Time Line and clicked on 'Create Disc', this took a further 2-3 minutes
to open the DVD page.

The next day I tried it again, switched on the Laptop, did the whole above
procedure and had no delay what so ever, files opened and imported instant
and the Create Disc opened straight away.

Exactly the same thing happen on my other Desktop PC (Intel 2 Duo/2.2GHz)

Though I have not tried this with the Anti-Virus programs turned off (Desktop uses MS Essentials and Laptop Eset)

So what ever happened is not a Hardware related issue.
