Comments on November 2017 update to VPX, improvements or problems

Having just updated, my first test was to see whether the titling problem I have been having has been resolved. The answer is No! There still seem to be some peculiarities in the titling which don't happen in VPX7. One of those in my case is that I cannot put different colours of text in the same line or even text box. Any attempt to highlight a section of text to change the colour, results in all the text in the box changing. It was detailed in another thread.

If I find any other improvements or problems, I'll post them here.

Yes I know.
What I meant was mixing to wmv gives me a good copy to play on computer and burning that to DVD avoids all the errors or it does in my case.
It gives me a better quality result to give to the client if they want.

I do the same but to mp4, but still get the same error messages as my previous post.

@DugsBugs

Thanks for the clarification - it was not clear to me exactly why you were exporting to WMV.

Is there any reason why you chose WMV over MP4?

WMV is a Microsoft derivation of mp4, however it is restricted to being playable on Windows machines and some players that support the wmv format.

@johnebaker
I do both at times
MP4 seems to create a bigger file size and there is not that much difference in quality.
If my client is using Apple, then I give them MP4.
WMV seems to be more stable when converting to DVD for some reason so I have stuck with that format.

Thanks Doug - makes sense in view of the burn issue.

Cheers

So far, I don't seem to be having the same issues with the 195 update but at least I have a backup plan if I do.
