VideoStudio 2019 AVC/H.264 Profiles

[Granpaw Broon]

I find I am unable to change the Dolby Digital type setting of AVC/H.264 as it is greyed out. e.g. 2/0(L,R) but not 3/2(L,C,R,SL,SR). As you can see it is okay in VS2018 - is this a bug or have they changed something that needs to be set elsewhere? Thanks David

sorry David

Windows 10 and VS 2019
Corel have removed Digital Dolby Surround Sound support, only stereo is available.

Windows 7 and VS 2019, no Digital Dolby support, full stop.

Trevor, I'm a bit confused as the help file within VS2019 Ultimate gives details about how to setup 3/2(L,C,R,SL,SR) surround sound as does the User's manual and I see nothing to say it has been dropped. I believe that the restrictions of DD 5.1 are no longer in place after the patient has been relaxed. Corel, after years of including it have decided to drop it in version 2019 when it will be less costly. I've been pestered by Corel for months to upgrade and now I do I find it is not an upgrade at all as one of the main features that I use has been removed.

I also am having an issue with 5.1 audio in VS 2019 ultimate. I cannot create a project profile with the project settings that support 5.1 audio. I am running Windows 10 pro 64 bit version 2009. I may have found a back door approach. I start a new project. Then I import a video clip that I know has 5.1 audio. VS then asks if I want to adopt the imported video clips properties. Answer yes and 5.1 audio is enabled. You can't save the adopted project profile to the profile editor. It does save with the project that you create.

That's useful to know since it is a senseless and mysterious thing Corel has done in dropping this audio format.

You might also want to change your Profile to reflect the fact that you are now using Win 10 and not Win 7 as your Profile says... I note you say you have Win 10 version 2009. Has a new version come out already? I have version 2004 and was unaware there had been a further upgrade...
