I have spent all day trying to resolve why I am unable to burn an AVCHD disc from the trial version and am hoping for help! I want to purchase the program, but only if I can use this feature. From what I can tell, that feature is not disabled in the trial version. I updated drivers (as far as I can tell) so I suspect it is system requirement related, but cannot tell if it is graphics card or cpu or both (I am not very tech inclined!) I will attach the dxdiag and hope for some advice. I know I could upgrade the graphics card, but if it's CPU related I think I am out of luck, unless maybe an older version of Powerdirector would work?

When creating a disk, the error states:
The output profile is only supported by hardware accelerated encoding. You must enable hardware video encoding option to use.

The settings in Powerdirector preferences show: "AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing" just as stated in following entry from the help menu. I just don't understand what this means for me and burning a disc in full HD.

In help
"Note: to activate hardware acceleration technology during production, select Hardware video encoder in the production preferences section of the produce window before production. If your computer does not support Open CL, the wording on the UI will be replaced with the supported hardware acceleration technology (Intel Effect Acceleration, NVIDIA CUDA, or AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing). "

I would greatly appreciate any advice!
Thank you!
