I noticed that Steve took the time to get involved with Power Director, so I decided if it was good enough for him, it is definitely worth looking into again. I had an older version so I bought the upgrade to 15 ultra.
One of the things I have to do over and over again on these VHS tapes is to make both audio channels the same. Basically mono out of both tracks.
When these tapes were originally done, there were two channels being recorded. One was just ambient audience sounds, and the other track was the billiard game track at the table.
This turned out to be an issue for some of the customers of the company selling the converted DVDs, because they had their individual systems set up either incorrectly to hear the video, or they didn't have stereo to begin with.
Since individual channels wasn't needed for this kind of tape, the company asked that I make both audio channels the same and all inclusive. This was a pretty simple thing to do in Premiere Elements by copying the audio track and applying the swap channel audio effect on one of the audio tracks. When it was transcoded it was all in one.
I'm having trouble finding the ability to do this with the new version of Power Director. Does anyone happen to know if this is possible with the Cyberlink program, and if so, how to do it?
thanks much!

I think I may have stumbled across something ...

I guess Power Director comes with "Wave Editor" I saw that when I right clicked the audio track and selected edit audio, this option of Wave Editor came up.
I downloaded this swap channel DLL and then I opened Wave Editor and added the plug it .. I think this is going to work!! Geez, if it does, I surprised myself.
