Computer services technician just told me to ask where he can get driver/codec, whatever is needed, to activate the MP4 H-264 component in my PowerDirector11 program for my computer. I do not have internet at my home where the desktop computer is located. I have no transportation to get the computer to the technician at the computer store. He said to try and find out exactly where he must go to get the components and he can then help me.
I am making the title sequence for Tony Tona Ministries, a world wide Christian Internet television program. The sequence, which I made with Power Director 11 and which he likes very much, is in the AVI format, which he says would not be appropriate for the tv show. The studio requires MP2 format clips, but Tony said that they can convert it from MP4 to MP2 at the studio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Jaime, I just came from the computer store. The first thing the guy asked me is "did you get it"? Meaning the location of driver/codec needed to upload mp4 into powerdirector11. I said no, that it may be the weak link with the powerdirector line of products.

I was going to take the computer in to his store, but cab fare is too much. When I finally get a lift into town he said he will try to get the mp4 component- I'm hoping it will take a few moments, like the message says it will, but I am not getting my hopes up. I may have to settle for AVI's only. It's a good program- ton's of tools. But if it does not activate the component I won't proceed any further. I'm not sure why there is a problem with the mp4 activation, maybe it's a anti piracy thing- a copyright protection thing, without wihich these kinds of programs would never be written. I don't know.

I am trying to talk Tony into learning the Sony Vegas program that they have at the television studio. The intro to his show would not be a difficult project. It's not rocket science. I am going to check out tutorials for Sony Vegas and figure out what he would have to do so I can talk him through it.

Man, I hope you didn't spend a lot for the program. I got mine on Ebay for about $60.00.
