Problems when rendering video

[Rob717]

Hi Rob717

Thanks for the detailed reply.
I am aware of the problems with both Direct X and QuickTime, the latter reared its head some time ago with the installation of VS10, at that time QT V7 had to be reverted to V6
Tried with and without Smart Proxy
Smart Render on and off.
Successfully rendered to H.264, but playback fails in clip mode.
Rendered to Mpeg2, playback ok.

You mention that clip playback uses the default media player.
I cannot play the M2TS files using my media players which would suggest a missing codec.
But as VS is supposed to support H.264, it renders without problem, then why the clip playback problem.
Are you saying I have to purchase another codec just to make VS work correctly?

As I say I do not own a HD camera so don’t really need to fix this, nor do i have any HD camera software that i can install.
I feel as though I am hi-jacking the post when its vhalen that asked for help.

For VideoStudio to work in playback mode you have to have a default player that will allow you to play the video clip on your system, the only time VideoStudio plays the clip back is when you select Project. For example, when you play an MOV file in clip mode in VideoStudio it is not VideoStudio playing it back it is actually QuickTime, MPEG2 it would be whatever you have set to the default player.

Locate one of the M2TS files on the computer system and right click and select properties, you should then see the what is the default program that you have set for opening M2TS files. Most likely it under "Opens With" it show unknown application, meaning there is no default program and that is why it will not play back in Clip mode.

To resolve the issue you would need to install a program that is able to play back your M2TS clips and then set it to the default player. VLC Player is a free one that you can use but does have some know issues playing back M2TS files and there is also Corel WinDVD that would allow you to play back M2TS files but you would have to buy it.

I hope this helps

Hi Rob717

Thanks again, looks like I need to buy a HD camcorder with the appropriate software that will contain the h264 codec. Or update Nero to the latest package.

I did mention in an earlier post that I can play the M2TS files when using Video Studio X2. So why not X3, although there is a problem in creating MTS files.

Over the weekend I tried a number of players all had problems, I think it may be an interlacing problem, if frame based they would probably play. I need to do a little more googling on that.

Not to worry, thanks for the input…………

The M2TS files should still play in VideoStudio X3 but only in Project mode and not clip.

In regards to the interlacing issue can you describe in a little more detail as to what is happening? I am guessing you are seeing lines during sudden camera moves?

Hi everybody,

I tried to make a lot of experiences to render FULL HD project without success...
Now, like my final action, I try to render a new project (FULL HD) without transitions and others stuffs. Only my M2TS movies (total of project: 40min).
The render process (disabled smart render) stops on 25% and crashs Videostudio.

Someone can help me?
I can put some M2TS files o megaupload to someone make a test.

I already try to use this software on WinXP and Win7 without success (with all updated)...
I already try to use on Core2Duo and Core i7 without success too.
I already try to install Downloaded Version and DVD Version without sucess too (with service pack installed).

My final try is change my this software... BUT I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!
I use Videostudio a lot of years and I don't want to change it now...

Thanks
Ronaldo

What is the model of camcorder you are using?

I have found out that there is an issue with Intel i7 Processors and rendering or editing videos that use H.264, from what I could find out is that it has to do with either the hyper threading or the CPU being over clocked.

Try rendering the file as a BD MPEG2 format instead of H.264, unless the source file uses H.264 then you might be out of luck at the moment until they fix the bug.

Hi Rob717,

Thanks for your answer...

My Fulll HD camcorder is a Panasonic model HDC-TM300K that uses H.264 codec to create movie files.
I think that I need to wait some fix to this bug then... Someone on Corel development team there is answer to this question?

Unfortunally I'll buy another software and make my Full HD projects.
BUT when Corel release some fix to this bug (H.264 codec) I'll return to my favorite Videostudio. (VERY SAD THIS...)

I remember reading on here that disabling hyper threading fixed a problem someone was having. Maybe a Search will uncover that thread.

I already try to disable hyper-threading without success...
There're some bug with my m2ts video files and Videostudio.

It is very sad because this software are great...
BUT after that I bought my Panasonic camcorder everything got worse.

Is there prevision to release service pack with this fix?
I can send my m2ts files to development team work with this.

Thanks

Hi everybody,

I make my last attempt to render my FULL HD movies and works with restritions and conditions...
(all my attempts is only with m2ts files and without transitions and others stuffs - ONLY VIDEO FILES)

My project (example) has 1 hour with video files (m2ts).
If I try to render it, Videostudio crashs on 60%.
If I split my project in 3 parts, Videostudio works great...

Why it is happening with me?
Is there something related with memory?
Why split project and render on parts works and all project (some project) crashs?

Thanks
Ronaldo
