Cyberlink Power DVD

[dazuk1972]

I seem to always have a big problem with Cyberlink Power DVD. Everytime I run a DVD through it the software freezes my PC. Sometimes it does it when I move a scene backwards or forwards to capture a shot for a photo and sometimes when I start playing it freezes my PC. I've re-installed the software a few times. Does anybody else have this problem or does anybody know a solution to stop the freezing. It's driving me mad at times. I only use the software to capture and just for that it gives me square wheels to cycle on.

Many thanks.

you'd fare better with virtualdubmod for frame capture

You didn't mention what ver ur using, I use ver 5 for a very long time without issues (unless the DVD file structure is hoaked)

For capture do as LT mentioned, best bet !!

Learning somthing new every day. I always used PGCedit for still frames from a movie.

I'm not sure what version it is. I think it's version 6. The disc doesn't say the version and I opened the software and checked under Information. There's no sign of the version number. As I was saying, I'm sure I have number 6.

Windows Movie Maker 2 also freezes my PC a lot but not as much as PowerDVD.

Many thanks.

I just may have to give that a try too and see if I like it better then pgcedit.

I didnt know you could capture still shots from that.

How do you do that?

I pause the frame I want then file, save image

I just may give that a try I think there is more control with pgcedit then that way though. But I will give that a try.
