Same thing with MagicYUV. All other apps play fine EXCEPT for PD18, CD8 and Movies & TV. All previous versions of PD and CD work normally, and even the new PhD11 can open MYUV clips and let me use the Video-to-Photo tools.

You should report this to CL, and in the meantime I'll see if I can find a workaround.

On my system, I can't get ANY CL apps to read HuffYUV clips - not even the older ones - even though the codec is installed and can be accessed by VDub2:



Only VLC, VDub2 and WMP can play it

Try converting one of your existing HYUV/MYUV clips using VDub2's H265 lossless codec. Save it as an AVI as usual. I don't know how it compares quality-wise, but PD18 can edit clips made with that codec:

Thanks very much gentlemen for sharing the details from this issue.
Given that you, I and many others all of a suden got into (workflow) problems, maybe even missing deadlines, and have inability to proceed after the introduction of a new version, I think that Cyberlink should consider and implement one or more of the following features in de 365 model:
a) Option - facility to back-out (restore) to the previous version
b) Option to postpone the installation of a newer version (We have that already: just do not press the update button)
c) Option - facility to test a new version, whether a beta of final version along with the current (working) version.

Option C of course is the most ideal, for both Cyberlink and its users, as it gives Cyberlink the option to have new versions tested wider and gives users the option to test out the new features, find all the bugs there are to be found, whilst they still can continue working with the previous version. Maybe the period in which more than one version coexist should be limited for both Cyberlink and users sake (like: update to latest version within 30 days?)
I have submitted this suggestion to Cyberlink through the suggestions facility.

There is hope in BTC Land!

Try using FFDShow again just like you described in this post. I went back to the system image I made before updating to PD18, and I ran FFDShow because I didn't have HuffYUV installed. PD17 was able to view one of the HuffYUV clips you'd sent me.

I then updated to PD18 and I can now edit the clip:



I know you can't go back in time like I did, but I'm optimistic that running FFDShow now that PD18 is installed will restore your ability to work with HuffYUV clips!

UPDATE: Running FFDSHow with the default settings will let PD18 play HuffYUV clips!

So far, still no luck with MagicYUV, but one thing at a time...

I'll look at that later but I have already pre-processed all my clips for PD18.
Also...I had a hissy-fit when there was no SVRT for my profile, but now for some unknown reason it is now accepting the profile.

Well, this is odd.
For some unknown reason, my HuffYUVs play today! Not MagicYUV, but it's a step in the right direction.
I did nothing to make this work.
The only fiddling I did was with my monitors' colors, trying to tweak them, including messing with Nvidia settings, but that's got nothing to do with codecs.
I am baffled, happy, but baffled.
Hopefully I won't be back here later today stating it's not working again.
Claws crossed.

Yes, as I feared, every time I try a adjust the video it crashes.

Praise Cyberlink tech support.
Great work Kevin Cheng!
After describing the issues, providing a link to samples lossless AVI on my site, providing a dxdiag, and a couple of crash reports, Kevin NAILED it.
As instructed I deleted 2 registry keys and BAM, back in bidniss.

I do NOT suggest fiddling with the registry unless you know what you are doing, and these keys may have NOTHING in common with another user's issues.
But...

Meanwhile, you may try to delete the media caches and then try again on v18.

To delete media caches, please do the following steps.

1. Open Windows Registry Editor

2. Browse to the below path on the left side of Registry Editor.

[Computer\HKEY_CURRNT_USER\Software\CyberLink\MediaCache5]

3. Right click on the registry key “MediaCache5” and choose the option “Delete” to delete media caches.

and...

1. Open Windows Registry Editor

2. In the Registry Editor, browse the registry keys on the left side.

[Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CyberLink\DSP_EffectLogger]

3. Right click on the “DSP_EffectLogger” and choose “Delete” in the right click menu to delete the registry key.

4. Launch PowerDirector to check if the issue has been resolved.

Of course, it still does not work in Colordirector but support is looking at that.

Thanks Barry! The first key is probably the one that cleared up your problem, because it clears the media cache and PD probably had conflicting information there regarding the HuffYUV clips, especially if some were generated before you applied the hotfix.

It looks like the second key simply logs which Digital Signal Processing FX have been active, and maybe clearing those will ensure that PD is starting clean with the hotfix.

I backed up the registry and removed both keys on my system. I was able to work with HuffYUV clips before, and there was no change once the keys were gone. There's also no change in getting PD to work with MagicYUV clips, so I'll have to wait and see if support or RD will fix that.
