Video studio 10 Mpeg 4 video editing Broken???

Ok I'm trying to edit my camera movie files from a Kodak v530. I bought this product solely for this purpose. I guess I should have tried the demo.

Regardless I can load my files into the timeline. If I try to playback and one file in clip mode it works fine. If I try to playback them in project mode the movie plays at like 1 frame persecond if that with no audio or just glitches of audio. If I try to make a movie out of this, the movie has the same results as when I try to play the file in project mode. If I take one clip and try to make a DVD movie file out of it, it will yield the same screwed up result.

In essence it's broken. I have used these files in nero and nero can render these no problem. What gives???

Is there a workaround or a patch planned soon?

Thanks

Please view

and scroll down to the item relating to MPEG 4 formats.

It doesn't work converting them to Mpeg 2. If I try to convert them to anything the program just moves along at about 1 fps or slower and only renders the first 30 seconds of a five minute clip with no audio. THere is definitely a bug here.

Nope not a bug, just one of the drawbacks of using a highly compressed format. Try converting the video beforehand with something like

What format does your Kodak camera record to?

I think this is one of those formats that MD discovered a workaround to get them to work.

Thanks for a temporary work around. But Ulead better fix this problem. If I had found this other program I would have never bought ulead video studio 10 plus.

If your Kodak is recording to MOV format then read this:

Thanks sjj1805!! I think you are the man. That file I'm pretty sure did the fix.
I can now render my movie. I'll be burning one in a bit.

Thanks a ton!!

I am also pretty sure it is not a 'bug' as properly defined, though clearly it causes considerable problems for some people. An acquaintance yesterday raised an almost identical problem with me, though the .MOV files came from an Olympus camera and not a Kodak. And the truth was, I had no problems with the two files he provided and using VS10+. I could open the files, play them at full speed, join them together with a transition, and render them to both a final mpeg-4 file and also to a DVD-compliant mpeg-2, both of which worked perfectly and played at the correct speed. Interestingly, though taken here in Australia, both files were in NTSC format. But again I had no trouble converting them to PAL format, and again they played perfectly.

A bug, to my mind, is only a bug, if it is replicable on a wide variety of computers. And in my case, I simply could not replicate the problem. Mind you, I have no idea why mine works and my friend's doesn't. But I will draw his attention to this fix in the hope it will work as well for Olympus files as it seems to do for Kodak.
