Greetings, Many moons ago I ripped one of my late fathers DVDs, created by a 3rd party, to a Lagarith AVI with MP3 Audio for "cleaning up" at a later date. That later date has arrived and I've started looking at one of the files today in MS2025 and

RE: Settings - CPU or GPU - Video Delux Premium 2026

@SHANE-KOHUT Certainly for export, use the 3080 for MP4-type source files. My 3060 is probably 5 times faster than the CPU export. For other source file types such as AVI, I find using the iGPU in my Intel CPU sometimes yields faster exports. Then

RE: Unable to import MKV files into Video deluxe 2026 Plus, Windows 10

All, I worked out the issue with that latest file (I should have checked before posting it): it is really an AVI with the HUFFYUV codec. Why it was made an MKV I don't know (not my doing), nor do I know why Magix opened it when it was an MP4 (I do

RE: The output formats are messed up in Movie Studio 2024

@clement5 Magix has an aspect ratio setting for the input video, which is probably not handled properly. It is mainly needed for AVI imports. In versions up to MEP2021, Magix must have been programmed to assume these AVI files were supposed to be

Hello @AAProds, You didn't strike me as a smart aleck at all. You just wanted to point out that this option already existed. I used to create takes (*.TK2) from my DV tapes using scene detection (Shift+Z). To place one of these takes on the

RE: Incorrect frame rate on AVI output, incorrect display of frame

@clement5 I don't understand why you're comparing clips. Wouldn't you work on a clip, export it, edit in in another program, then re-import it? Why are you comparing the original exported clip with one that has been re-edited, in potentially another

RE: "Missing" audio in VPX16

RE: Incorrect frame rate on AVI output, incorrect display of frame

@clement5 The reason for the comparison is that the YUV default output results in wrong output, and only the uncompressed AVI or other formats are correct. Then why use it? There are plenty of other lossless compressed formats you can use. This

RE: Recording time doesn't work in MEP2021 Plus

@MovieEditorr My understanding is the "Recording Date and Time" is only for DV-AVI, where the actual date+time is inserted into the tape as it is being recorded (a characteristic of the DV format). At any point in the recording, you can use that

RE: The output formats are messed up in Movie Studio 2024

The solution in VD is very simple, use the aspect ratio parameter only as the display ratio and not as an indicator of how many pixels. Then the resolution or pixel count determines what is exported. In the case of AVI, the aspect ratio would be

RE: The output formats are messed up in Movie Studio 2024

@clement5 Setting 4:3 should just compress the output horizontally while keeping the vertical at 480 to have a realistic picture. Never! should a program automatically squash a too-wide video into the selected frame size. You can use your TV remote
