It's the bit rate. PD won't let you go any lower because normally that would result in such poor quality as to be unusable. You could try producing to WMV, but you can't alter those preset profiles. This thread has lots more info on a situation almost exactly like yours.
Basically, if you're only trying to trim clips you'd be much better off using Handbrake or VirtualDub to simply cut out the unwanted pasrt and skip the whole producing part.
Although video qaulity will be poor, you can go at lower bitrate by editing profiles in:
C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\CyberLink\PowerDirector\17.0\UserConfigure\Profile.ini
After creating your own profile (as described above) you can edit it and set lower bitrate then 1500 (there are 3 parameters there- video bitrate, max and min. video bitrate.) I use this editing for creating my own profile with 854x480 resolution (480p) and mostly for setting audio sample rate to 44,1 kHz, because Youtube transcodes 48 kHz to 44,1 kHz. Standard setting for 48 kHz: <Audio SamplesPerSec>1, for 44,1 kHz: <Audio SamplesPerSec>2 I tried this for MP4 and MPEG2.
Another option: what about trying smart rendering for simple cutting of unwanted parts? But I am not sure if it works for such a low bitrate.
