Hi John, Hmm, mysterious pricing indeed. I wonder what Germans know about Canada that Canadians don't? Looking at your route's elevation profile, I see what you mean about the steepness. But if you will drive around towing the Millennium Dome and

Hi Terry I can replicate this in all versions of MEP from MX to 2016, however MEPP does not give this message it just exports. MediaInfo does not show any difference in the image data except for a slightly smaller file size for MEPP. Perhaps this

RE: [Closed] Importing a Google Earth Pro created video

Hi m4v and MP4 are container file formats, not video file formats, they can contain a wiede range of internal codecs and it is this internal video codec that is causing the issue. As MEP is saying you need Quicktime, then the video contents of the
