Hi Vidoman

I like to appolized for trying for someone here to help out. I do have the MSP8, whish I being using it for the longest time since they first came out version 4 SE. Then I finally bought bundle with version 6. Dont take me wrong I almost rather use MSP8 than the competitor but what piss me the most is that Corel is so iressponsible for the fan and customer by not supporting the program for Vista etc.
But anyway that's the way I feel about Corel.
I would like to know then if anyone could help me is that how could I produce a video on HD format and make it fit in SD DVD. Or rather if anyone could tell me and explained what is AVCHD I think that is what I keep reading from the forum. it is such format that MSP8 output that would able to burned the HDvideo to be read ie Sony SP3?

Pleae talk to me.
Luis
Ps anything that you could tell me or sudgest please do so . I won't hold it agaiinst anyone here I promise.

I'm not qualified to answer as I don't use any HD format and don't know much about them. However, MSP is still a very useful software, no matter what is said about it. However, you do have an excellent "gotcha" and that is your free offer of VideoStudio (which does work under Vista). This will allow you to capture HD and convert to lossless SD for editing in MSP8.

Be assured that I'll be continuing to work in SD and MSP8 for many years to come. For me, the conditions are not united to warrant conversion to HD, above all because there are so many different variations in format. When DV came along, all the cam makers were more or less on the same wavelength; with HD, they each have a different implementation. Until they get their act together, I'm steering clear of it.

so that we can then view your system specifications.

If you are running XP then you are laughing. MediaStudio Pro will be good for several years yet to come. If you are running Vista then you can only get MediaStudio to work by implementing work rounds

Many of the problems relating to a wide range of software as diverse as spreadsheets to Video Editing systems, From Web Creation tools to word processing all originate from Microsoft introducing a new operating system Vista. Whilst Vista may have its good points it also rendered a huge amount of wide ranging software useless. The Software Companies affected then had to make business decisions - were the affected products worth further investment in development costs to meet the new conditions imposed by the Vista Operating System. Even Microsoft themselves have dropped some of their own software that does not work with Vista. MediaStudio is one such casualty and will not be developed further.

Almost at the same time as Vista arrived so did High Definition Video causing in the Video Editing world a "double whammy" - software companies not only had to contend with Vista, they also had to contend with the new emerging video formats. High Definition came along in various flavours including AVCHD, Blue Ray and (simply named) HD.
A war broke out between the new formats - the first casualty is HD.
There now exists a new war - Blue Ray -v- AVCHD.

Like Devil I am in no rush to go out and buy HD equipment, my existing SD equipment is perfectly adequate for my needs. Fortunately I was able to locate XP drivers for my newest computers that came pre-installed with Vista. Therefore I mainly use XP which is far more reliable for the software that I already own, built up over several years. There are some good points in Vista but the bad points far outweigh the good. I am in the envious position of being able to use both systems.

I dont think there will be a war between AVCHD and Blue-Ray, as Blue-Ray is a distribution format, and AVCHD is an acquisition format. It's like saying there is a war between DV and DVD. Record/edit in one, and master/distribute to the other. Interestingly, the h.264 codec used in AVCHD is the same codec as specified for the Blue-Ray standard (well one of them).

I also think that HD has pretty much settled down to a range of standards now. HDV has become the new DV, and is supported by Sony, Canon, JVC and others (not panasonic!) Panasonic do their own thing with DVCpro HD.
Then as you go up the scale you get various flavours of HD, although the only thing really changing is the bitrate and compression.
