Using the trial version AND, subsequently, a full (ultimate) package I bought on line, I noticed PD13 was only encoding AVC video at 1/2 the speed of PD8. Stunned and disappointed. Cyberlink's marketing literature talked everywhere about massive speed increases. A 50% reduction in speed is simply unacceptable but I hope is resolvable
My platform:
Windows 7, SP1, 64bit
6GB RAM
CPU - Intel i7 920 (4 core, 8 thread)
GPU - Nvidia GeForce GTX 260, driver 197.59
I have used more recent drivers also (a couple) with the same 2x result but reverted to 197.59 because it has been a VERY stable release, shouldn't make a difference if it works with PD8, AND your support says to stay BELOW release 340.3 to maintain hardware acceleration.
I also have the latest patch (240 installed.
Lastly, PD 8 was only 32 bit, but PD13 is a 64bit install.
