Produce Movie Disc: Other formats
Since the editing steps are almost the same we will just take a short look into the VCD, SVCD, DVD+/-VR and DivX creation. Let us start with (S)VCD.
(S)VCD creation:
The only limitation that we have noticed is that no transition effects for photo slideshows are available. The rest is identical to the DVD creation.
Editable DVD (DVD+/-VR):
This function enables us to create an editable DVD. This means that, in case that the disc is burned on a DVD+/-RW, the content of resulting DVD can be edited later with another application of the PowerProducer software. The disc's written in DVD+VR format can be played on a video player and discs in DVD-RW can be played on DVD video players compatible to the RW format.
For DVD+VR, there are no limitations compared to the creation of normal DVDs. One (positive) difference we have noticed is when it comes to set the chapters for the +/-VR disc. No chapter menu pages are created when we set the chapters with PowerProducer.
When it comes to DVD-VR, then we must add that we missed the option to edit the menus.
DivX-CD:
DivX, one of the most popular compression formats is a must have for each video editing software.
DivX creation with PowerProducer 3 is a straightforward process. The only negative thing is the fact that the included DivX pro bundle is only a 6-month trial version.
Also, there are a few limitations compared to the DVD creation. The following limitations were found and it doesn't matter if the version 5.2.1 or the newer version 6 of DivX is installed.
- No chapters
- No menu editing
Apart from these limitations, everything worked well.
Well, the testing of PowerProducers ability to handle other formats than DVD is done; let us now continue with testing of the other features.
Produce Movie Disc - Part 4
The previous versions were terrible for sync error between the video and audio. Let's hope this is better!
I have the same problem as Tommy (in Producer 2 Gold)
All steps no problem, then final step burning after 50%
creating folders etc etc. it ejects DVD and gives
unspecified error (nothing burned).
Removed software and registry keys then reinstalled and
i don't have the problem for 3 DVD's and then it returns.
Very strange.
system: Amd X2 4200+, 2 GB, 8800GTS, 2 x 250GB
Put a support request bto Cyberlink and am waiting a response.
I love the product for producing quality DVD files from VCR but I dont use the smart facility. What I do is use the HQ VCR capture function and let it run. At the end I save it all the DVD folder and once it is all saved I run it through DVD shrink that not only shrinks it to the 4.7 size I need for burning but it also allows me to re author the disc and I can get rid of the stupid title image. Once re authored and shrunk I burn it to nti or nero and I have a great vcr to dvd conversion. I know it sounds messy but I only use the best bit of the software which is being able to encode analogue video to DVD directly with no double conversion loss you get with other capture software out there. So for the bit of it I use 5 stars...Hope that helps ...Simon
