iam using cyberlink powerdirector 5 for my amv.. and well... everytime i put a video clip on my timeline.. powerdirector puts up a window that says this:
warning!
your project contains one or more video clips whose tv format (ntsc or pal) is different from your preference setting. powerdirector will convert the clip, but the resulting video quality may be degraded. it is highly recommended that you use only video clips with the same tv format in a project!
NOW heres my question:
1)no matter what preference i choose (i tried both pal and ntsc for the same video) on powerdirector, it still shows that message.. its as if my source video file has both formats in it which i am guessing is not possible
can i use virtualdub to convert the source file to one particular format? cause ive read the guide to using virtualdub but no mentions there
any suggestions?
2)ive used virtualdub to actually compress a clip from my video source.. but when i put that file on my timeline..its not smooth anymore!! it doesnt run smooth when i play it
suggestions?
thanks again
