I'm even more impressed with CyberLink for the follow-up!

Glad you're up and running, Ted. And I'm so glad to hear they've addressed the issue.

That's actually a pretty detailed response, Ted. I'm impressed.

It doesn't make your job any easier of course. But at least you know CyberLink cares enough to respond.

Glad you found a solution, Hammer. Though I'm sorry we couldn't help you find out why it happened in the first place.

It could also be related to the specs of the PIP file. Is it an MOV and from exactly the same source of the MOVs on your main video track?

We may need to dig into the specs of the file. Premiere Elements is a lot fussier with MOVs than with MP4s.

Thanks, Ted. Sorry I can't offer more for you. It sounds like a real annoyance.

Sorry I can't offer any help here, Ted. It might be worth posting this one to the PowerDirector forum at Cyberlink.

Hi, Ted. Our PowerDirector forum is right inside the CyberLink Corner sub-forum. That said, I've never experienced what you're describing so I can't duplicate it -- but it sure seems like a strange notification. I didn't know PowerDirector even had a copyright scanner, let alone why it would trigger...

Interesting! Thanks for reporting back, Ted.

Glad you were able to capture with PowerDirector.

I'm not aware additional profiles for saving video, but I'll continue to investigate.

Take care.

Good news, Ted! I think I may be onto something! Go to the Pot Player's menu by clicking the down arrow in the upper left. Navigate to Open, then Open Webcam/Other Device. This should make your video playback visible in the monitor. Then you can go back to the menu and select Video/Video Recording a...

I have to be honest with you, Ted. My success with Pot Player has been sporadic. I honestly don't know why it works and why it doesn't. My most successful capture program is CyberLink's PowerDirector, which always works all the time and provides excellent results. Even an older (cheaper) version of ...

I'm not still using it but I have many old miniDV tapes and I sometimes want to capture from them. Do you have an IEEE-1394 FireWire connection on your computer? If so, WinDV will work. It's no longer being developed, but older versions are still available. (Make sure you click on the download link ...

If you've got the original project files and video, you can output from Premiere Elements as 1920x1080 MP4s. You'll have to use a third-party program to create BluRay discs.

But you won't' be able to produce HD video from your DVD files since DVDs are standard definition.

Jeez, Sherrin! What a mess! I'm so sorry you're laid up for 7 weeks -- but glad to hear there is no serious permanent spinal damage. For what it's worth, I"m working on a new batch of tutorials. But I hope you find something a bit more binge-worthy. Take care of yourself. I'm sure healing after...

Those are good ideas, Cheryl. And Photoshop Elements has features for doing many of those things.
