This is a BUG. No previous version has every functioned this way. The frame you mark out on should be the last frame of the clip.

Note to Jeff7: Have you contacted Ulead? I did and got an actual reply. Not the boilerplate, read FAQs and reinstall VS9. The reply did not exactly address the problem so I have replied with a clarification. Believe it or not, this is my biggest complaint with VS9. Ulead email thread follows.

Tommy Chan,

My only concern is the content of the clip.
In VS9, if I mark out while viewing frame 10 of a clip, the last frame of
the resulting clip ends up being frame 11.
In VS6 through VS8, the last frame of the clip would have been frame 10.
Why has this logic changed?

Thanks, Perry
Jeff7

I have contacted Ulead about this and a few other issues, with no response.


I did also contact them some months ago, with a product suggestion, concerning Videostudio 8, I suggested that they add 2-pass encoding. Their response was only that I consider buying DVD Workshop, the $400 software package they sell. Now it's nice that they have in fact added it to VS9, but that response - "Well just buy our $400 software package." - just didn't quite go to well with me.
I mean, the freeware codec, XviD, has very good 2-pass encoding. I'd hope that something costing $100 would feature that at least. Just stinks that more set-top players can't play MPEG4, yet.
