Un par de cosas que añadir... Tanto la CPU como la tarjeta gráfica parecen tener unos 10 años. No digo que esa sea la raíz del problema, pero probablemente no ayude. Los VST suelen requerir mucho procesamiento y Music Maker nunca ha sido realmente

RE: Making Blu-rays

@donjen33 Hi. Thanks for the clarification. If the Blu-ray burner was on another older machine is it compatible with a newer operating system? Is there a new driver for it? You may need to go to the manufacturers website to find out. Personally mine

@MCK Hi Mark. It definitely sounds like it has poor ventilation although you should never really put a laptop directly on your lap. They can get hot enough to cause light burns when the vents get restricted. We use something similar at home to a tea

RE: VHS capture quality is very poor

@AAProds Hi Al. In the UK isopropyl alcohol is never sold as 100% proof as unless the container is glass, (as used to be sold to the film industry) some container material can leach into the fluid over time. When I had to work with isopropyl alcohol

RE: SUPPORTED MEDIA
