Proliferation of .event files

Post by Ricardo Badani »

I just bought and installed the VideoStudio X3 (which came with several extras, namely: VideoStudio Express 2010, DV-to-DVD Wizard, DVD Factory Pro 2010, DVD Movie Factory 7 SE and Painting Creator) and, ever since, all my Folders are bombarded by a plethora of .event files (seemingly all of 0 length) which are a nuisance, especially because they even appear in Folders supposedly untouched by VideoStudio (including the Mirror Folder in which I am building my Website, where this files are truly unwanted). How can I avoid these .event files to appear? Oh... something else: How do you make VideoStudio appear in a normal Window? (I ask this because it appears full screen on my first monitor and I would like to see it in the second, which is larger, without having to change the monitor assignment).
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide...

In response to your first question - the answer seems to be no you cannot prevent the creation of event files - please read this topic :-

And in response to your second question - no you cannot make VideoStudio run in a 'normal' window - the way the programme is written does not allow you to do so.

According to Brian's link, the event files are created by Digital Studio, which is part of the Video Express package. If you are going to use X3 for you editing you do not need Digital Studio/Video Express. Uninstalling it may stop the creation of the event files.
