Hello.
I have old versions of Power Director (V8 and V10) and Power Producer (V5). I do very simpel editing and burning to DVD:s with those,
like a small menu and have some intro and music and so on. And that's completely enough editing for me.
But I sometimes feel that I wan't to be able to burn Bluray discs also because of the size of the files.
There is an option in all three of my programs to choose Bluray discs but if I try it says "Your version of the program doesn't support Bluray discs".

So I wonder, what is the easiest way for me just to be able to burn Bluray discs? What versions are supporting this?
I don't have to be able to do anything more than to just use Bluray discs for burning.

Thanks

It does seem that you got all that software free as oem versions. Go to the Cyberlink store and compare what is available. : https://www.cyberlink.com/products/index_en_US.html .

Thanks for the answer.

I got the programs together with a video capture device I bought.
So they are OEM versions and the Bluray feature is not avilable in an OEM, just the full version then?

I looked at the page, and I must say I got confused by the number of choices.

What program/version would you advice me to buy if you could imagine my needs,
(that I'm more than satisfied with what I can do in my versions that I have, but I'm missing the Bluray option)

Thanks in advance!

I assume then that you use PD8 and PD10 to create your DVDs. If that is true then PD16 ultra would be the choice.

Just to clarify, do you mean you just want extra space for your standard definition DVD files or do you actually want to produce high-definition video? Regards,

Hello,
Also for clarification, do you have a Blu-ray Disc burner? Your DVD burner that you received the OEM versions of PowerDirector and PowerProdudcer won't burn Blu-rays, most likely.
