Cyberlink Powerproducer

[bella]

Hi Guys,

I tried to use Powerproducer today to edit my dvr-ms recorded tv shows, this on my 2nd pc, not loaded with MCE. When I want to import a file it tells me that I have to download a Microsoft patch that will anble me to play dvr-ms files on other computers then MCE machines. Does anyone knows the link to this download?

Hi Bella,

The best bet would be for you to visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Make sure you click on the Custom update, and you'll likely see a lot of updates that may need to be installed.

Regds,

Colin

I have the same problem and have searched high and low for a version that works - all to no avail, i dont think at this stage Powerproducer or powerdirector will do what you want. Use TMPGenc or Crunchie (available under downloads on this site)

Hi,

A friend of mine uses Power Producer v3 for this chore and says it is excellent.

To my knowledge, you can only convert DVR-MS files on XP based machines (which version of XP makes no difference). Just so you know.

Also PP seems to be a bit dodgy at times, although I use it on a MCE machine, some tv eps I try to convert it tells me I need that same patch you mentioned above, while most just convert without issue.

STRANGE

I found the following remedy for this:

Convert my dvr-ms files into mpg with Autodvrconvert, then import into Powerproducer.

Last night I tried to convert the X-men I had recorded from tv.
I then produced an mpeg1 in highest quality setting.
The result:

Video was lagging behind the sound, which was very annoying.
Video proportions weren't right either.

I solved the sound problem by importing the x-men file into VideoRedo and set the synchro slider back for almost a second.

I really do wonder why PowerProducer converts the majority of files fine but others it tells me I need a patch that I actually dont need because im running xp MCE.
