I have some high definition mpeg-2 transport stream (.ts) videos created from my Hauppauge HVR 1600 tuner. The clips are over an hour long, and play back just fine outside of PowerDirector, however in PowerDirector (both version 7 and , I only get the first 1/3 or so of the video. The portion that imports plays fine, but for some reason PowerDirector thinks the video length is much shorter than what it it actually is and therefore only plays the first 1/3 and if I add it to the timeline, same thing, it only adds the first 1/3 of the video to the timeline. If I play it outside of PowerDirector it plays back the entire length just fine.
Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to fix it? Is it a bug in PowerDirector or a problem with the clips?

Hi Darren,

Might be to do with file size ???

Maybe, but it doesn't seem to be very consistent.

One file is about 5 gigs (45 minutes) and PowerDirector only recognizes the first 12 minutes or so. The second is nearly 8 gigs (about 70 minutes) and PowerDirector only sees it as a 30 minute clip. If there was some sort of file size limit, wouldn't I expect to see the same time for both.

I have imported AVCHD videos of much larger sizes (20+ gigs) and it handles those just fine.

Hi Darren,
I've sent you a PM with some instructions.

CyberLink would like to have the files to test and check. Please can you assist?

Just some updates:
I've uploaded one of the files I was having trouble with. Be interested to see what they have to say.

I tried another file earlier today. This one was even stranger. I drag and drop the clip (30 minute clip) to PD and it displays it 20 times in the library. Each one tells me the clip is 180 hours long. Again, the same video plays back just fine outside of PD.
