Most of the advance feature programs such as Pinnacle Studio 9 & Studio 9 plus has it. It is under the special effect category. In case you have no idea how it is done, the Pinnacle program comes with a Video Demo and a tutorial, try it out. This is only applicable if you have a legal copy, not sure whether it works if it is other copy.

This is considered advance editing, so forget about Ulead, Powerdvd author, or even Sonic, maybe Vegas has it , not sure...

as far as I know, if your legal software installed the patch it should run smoothly. If it doesn't you can make a quick report to the pinnacle team. They are more than willing to help via forum or email.

If you not have alot of special effects, it would be less likely to crash or hang.
Cut down the transitions or insert special effects or too much audio. It would be fine. The best way to avoid it all and yet enjoy the fullest pinnacle, you may have to upgrade your pc specs with great RAM.

Cheers.

The Malaysian version of Pinnacle studio 9 plus comes with 2 disc.
One for PAL and the other is for NTSC. One price for 2.
I have the same problem like joylab does. I am getting ready to buy the studio 9 plus. Price about RM579.00

American pinnacle studio 9 plus is defaulted to NTSC ( greyout) unable to change it. If you used the older version of the pinnacle. I suggest you keep it as most of the old ones you can change the different format of capture i.e. NTSC or PAL with just a click. I think the older version are 9.0 without any updates. The newer updates greyout the option of capturing it in different formats.


As for splitting. IT can be done automatically. You have to reset the value of the program to capture the video every 10mb or whatever minuets/MB that you want it to be. It save you the hassel of actually doing it manually. Most software default it to every 10 sec or every new scene. Depending what software you used.

Import your file to a different software like Pinnacle has an effect to flip it vertically, horizontally and of course upside down/flip. just apply the effect onto your clip and you have a full "Right -side up" effect

But I suggest you to look into your software that might have a registry problem. Update all the drivers necessary for your software video card and your program software. YOu might have to end up, uninstall and reinstall your software program first and then download the new updates.

joylay -- they give you 2 disc both has different formats. That is why the price is RM 579 for 2 types of format upon the items sold.
It is pre-packed by Pinnacle.

does studio 9 plus come with mpeg2 activation? i really need that. hope it's not purchased separately


Yup Studio 9 Plus comes with an activation code for MPEG2
You have to sign onto Pinnacle website and then punch in your codes , it would generate your own pin code for the MPEG2 & many other fun stuff. It is a "security" by pinnacle.

Windows Movie Maker has never been able to import DAT file.
you may have to convert your file into AVI/MPEG first before splitting it.
You have to do so, in order to split.

http://www.tmpgenc.net/ - free convertor.
Watch out, you have to know that the conversion is only for video, and therefore, you have to convert the audio as well. Read up before you convert.
