Jeff,

I did try this. However I seem to only get 12 secs of a 1 hour clip in SV. Also when I replayed in clipper, the clip seem to jump scenes. Perhaps there is a timestamp issue with the file???? However MS Media Player replays the new MPG fine so I am puzzled.

Cheers,

Ed

Hi Steve,

This is good advice.

I have just found one of the many differences tween SV Pro and Movie Studio Plat. With the former I can take Dynamic RAM up to my max RAM(8GB) while SV MSP restricts you to 1GB and is 32bit only. However when I did the Shift-B on the selected region which I guess is doing a prerender it still takes a few minutes to do this, and my CPU and RAM usage is not increasing much…. about 40% each. I would have thought that once I had allocated 5GB SV Pro it would have just immediately previewed out of this with very little time delay. For your information, once prerendered, the preview runs like a charm.

I have trials of both SV Pro 64bit and SV MSP 32bit.

Really appreciate your help…. I do like the feel of SV though… I could grow into it.

Cheers,

Ed

Enrique,

Thanks for this. I tried renaming the extension to .mpg. Looked OK and indeed MS Media Player can play it when it could not before. However when I drag the file onto the timeline I only get 12 secs when the file is about .99GB and about 1 hour long. I have also tried converting the file to avi/MP4 and I get a Timstamp error… Perhaps this is the cause.

Also I tried importing the file a DVD from the file, but the OK button would not activate.

I think I may have to go back to the guy who filmed it and get it off his camera directly. Originally he transferred the files from his camera to a DVD and then gave me the DVD.
