VS10 Creating DVD Problem, very scetchy / slow frame rate.

5LEEPER · Post by **5LEEPER** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 1:32 am

Hey guys, i have using Ulead VS for a long time now, only just found this forum.

anyway, i loved VS9, so i downloaded the VS10 Trial version, its great... BUT

Once everything is done, the editing of my videos etc, and all plays fine, and smooth as it should. I then click "share" > "create disk"... and once there and once the menu screen is done, i click the preview window to see how it all looks, and from there the entire video appears to go slow, and appears to be a very slow frame rate, however the music is still fine.

I thought this may have simply been my computer not being able to handle the preview window etc (Pentium 4, 2.4Ghz, 1gig RAM), But even when burnt onto DVD, and played on my TV, its the same, the video is very jiggety and appears to have a slow framerate.

However none of this happens when i produce the DVD video through Ulead VS9... Is this happenin because i am using the trial version of VS10? and if so... i remember for the first few days of VS10 it was fine, only now does it do it.

Have i somehow accidently changed the video quality settings at all? if so, then why does it play fine in the editing window?

Cheers for any help....

Ryan

The trial version should behave the same as the full version with the exception of Dolby. Dolby isn't provided on Trial versions.
I take it that you are authoring a DVD with your edited material on the editor timeline. If so please go to the share Tab and select Create Video file. Dependant upon the source material and the Region you are from select either the PAL or the NTSC DVD format.

Once you have completed creating this video file, clear the timeline by starting a new project. Now go to the share tab and select create disc.
This time import the newly created video file and continue to author the DVD.

ok, i will give that a go... cheers.

But even still, it is much easier an quicker for me to simply create disk from the project timeline. So I would still like to fix the problem i have with creating the DVD through the timeline, as this way would be much prefered...any ideas? i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the trial.. but most

I cant understand why VS9 can do it, and VS10 could also untill recently.

Cheers

ALSO: If i save the video file this way, then import it later... will i still retain the same quality as i would going striaght to DVD? (PAL DVD- 4:3, and PAL DVD- 4:3 Dolby digital 5.1, [which to my understandings wont work in this version anyway...])

That issue is subject of a big debate amongst the forum membership with some in favour and others against.

Please view this link:
Authoring a DVD and in particular the link at the top of that article just above the quote by Ken Berry.

Thankyou for your help.

saving the file, then later importing it appears to work fine.

Just one last question though, when the file is saved it has both a .mpg file and a .upd file, what is the purpose of the .upd file? does it do anything? the mpg file seems to work fine by its self..

cheers

The MPG file is the Video.
The UPD file is a VideoStudio project file. It is sort of like a text file with instructions telling VideoStudio what cuts to make, transitions to insert etc.
