Hi Cyberlink people,

I'm currently running version 15.0.2509.0. But the Dutch version. I notice there is no download link for the Dutch version? Also, if I click to update from within the program it says no updates are available.

Is this not for me? Or is a Dutch version still in the works?

kind regards, Frank

Webroot AV reports detection of W32.Adware.Gen on the patch file. This is apparently a heuristic detection. I'm wondering if it's because of the popup ads which CL likes to include...

Must admit they irrtate me too but probably the same delivery method by which I was notified of the available update so by that token it's like going to the dentist, I put up with the pain because it does me good in the long run smile.

Hi Frank,

PDR does not support the Dutch language - see here:

https://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-ultra/spec_en_GB.html



You can also use the main download website to access the patch here:

Quote ...PDR does not support the Dutch language ...


Huh? But mine is in the Dutch language? Menu's, headings, even the helpfile is all in Dutch. It just installed that way... If I install the English patch, will that be gone then? Or does PD gets translated by Windows or something?

I've attached a screenshot...

Also, howcome if I click 'update' (bijwerken in Dutch) from the about screen, it says no udates available? Or is that just for version updates, not patches?

Before I install the patch, I'ld like to know if it will revert to English, does it?

regards, Frank

Hi Frank,

Apologies, the content of my queries got "lost in translation".

There is no Dutch download page linking to a specific Dutch version. Nor does the website specify support for the Dutch language, although a Dutch UI has been available since version 10.

Apparently, you can download from the forum links, as they all point to the same file location, and are quicker than the website update page.

Cheers

It's the same as the Beta 2820. It slows down completly, every time when i'm in the Disc Create or Producing Menu and switch between the settings (1080i<>1080p) or the formats (mkv , mp4). It takes considerably longer for an operation to be possible, it looks like the PD15 hangs for a certain time.



Back to 2509 and all is beautiful und runs smooth.

Hello.

I found new bug after update to 2820 (from 2508 ).

A function Fade (Enable Fade-in / Enable Fade-out) for images in Title designer doesn't works in v15.0.2820.

If I set something of this, it will immediately lose!

When I click to OK (close the Title designer) and open it again track of images are empty (without file name, Fade-in or Fade-out).

I am encountering this bug as well, and need an immediate fix.

This did not show for me either, but because of the images in the Title Designer issue, I wish I hadn't updated, because my work is now at a halt.

Hi

I am new to the forum as I have never had any issues with PD. I have upgraded to PD15 from PD13. I run a Core i7 ASUS laptop WIndows 10 and this new version is running so slow that it is unusable.



Any tips would be welcomed

Hi I tried the above and no improvement at all.

playing back videos is ok ...... multicam designer is not usable at all whereas it was with previous version (version 12 .. not 13 as I stated previously)

I am probably going to revertt back to PD12 as I am unable to this version despite my laptop having enough processinf power

Hi I have found the same thing. I've doubled my memory (which I had been planning to do anyway) but it is still really slow. How do you unwind the update or did you back up your system before applying it?



Thanks,

Alisdair.

Quote It's the same as the Beta 2820. It slows down completly, every time when i'm in the Disc Create or Producing Menu and switch between the settings (1080i<>1080p) or the formats (mkv , mp4). It takes considerably longer for an operation to be possible, it looks like the PD15 hangs for a certain time.



Back to 2509 and all is beautiful und runs smooth.
