Video studio 7 SE

Just got it with a camera and it hangs a lot with me while working with MP4 files. Is there something I need to watch out for?

Yeah -- a simple thing. VS7 doesn't work with mpeg-4 video. VS8 and VS9 will work with this format, but only with an added plug-in which costs around US$30.

If the VideoStudio 7 SE is bundled with the camera, there is a possibility that it has special plug-in to support MP4 files.

I';ve got a similar problem. (olympus camera supplied with VS7SE)

MP4 files can work with VS7SE as imported clips. They cannot be output but can be imported (and this is all you would need the MP4 plug-in in VS9 for as well).

When rendering/previewing video projects in VS7SE, an error typically occurs in ulaacenc.dll. On odd, very rare occasions on various machines, I have gotten VS7SE to work with one or two short projects but cannot find an obvious cause or fix for the problem. I have a theory that it may be down to imported MP4 video length/size or maybe project size but could not say for certain.

The interesting thing is that I downloaded the VS9 Trial edition and this doesn;t work properly either. This crashes with an error in ulaspdec.dll

The best advice that I've gotten from Ulead is to purchase the full upgrade but given past performance, I'm reluctant. Any suggestions?
