There are times when too many codecs on a person's computer can cause conflicts and I would think Plextor would inform it's users.
At least you've got Ulead working better now- cool.

As far as chapters- you can create customized chapter points with Dvd Lab but if you need to edit out some stuff 1st try Womble mpeg2vcr. 30 day free trial so it won't cost you nothing to fix this one video. I've never done any cutting in Dvd Lab even though it supposed to support this. No timeline- you are right- no chapter points= no timeline.

Divx encodes can be useful for those situations requiring lots of compression, however, most stand-alone dvd players can't play 'em. Computers, handhelds, etc. with the proper codecs/players can handle them ok. So there are limitations with the divx format that can play into your decision to use it.

Howdy fellas,
pfh thanks for the update on threads for the Canopus device. I'll search around for the forums. Too bad Al is having problems. pfh I have had problems with too many codecs and the only cure I could find is to reload Win XP. Pain but worked. You are correct that GoCap won't work without DVD Creator. Not sure about new release. Ulead videostudio 8 does not need DVD Creator it has all encoders internal and all are selectable through videostudio. I am slowly getting used to videostudio 8 and it seems to work ok. My ADVC - 100 is working just fine and dandy. It is a good device. I purchased it on ebay a year ago. I use Canopus EDIUS and Canopus Procoder to edit and encode. Expensive software let me tell you. It works everytime and is flawless. I returned the Plextor unit and I am going to purchase another one shortly. Plextor Dirk is certainly a great man to do business with. Plextor is very lucky to have a guy like that.

Regards,
David

Hey dworth? What's happening?
Yeah, the Canopus devices are good ones. If you get a ConvertX to work, you can have the best of both worlds. I'm gonna purchase an ATI theater card (550 chip) and play with it - see what it can do. Sounds like Alcoa got his problems sorted out and is doing well. I also plan on installing Ulead VS 8 from Plextor and get rid of Intervideo junk like alcoa did in order to try the Mainconcept encoder. I also agree with you regarding Plextor Dirk, too bad Plextor can't release new updates sooner though.

My life has been really busy lately so I haven't done very many new capture/transfers. I found a deal on TY's 4x @ Meritline.com- $28.00 for a stack of 100. Not bad eventhough they are only 4x, I don't burn faster than 4x anyways.

I chat at you later..................cheers................Paul
