1364638 2014-01-08 06:16:00 Go to Corel, Sony or Cyberlink websites and download the 30 day trials and have a play would be my suggestion.. paulw (1826)
1364639 2014-01-08 07:08:00 Only reason MM cant load the file is your hdd may have been formatted in FAT32? It has to be NTFS. Since, it looks like MM does support Mpg files Speedy Gonzales (78)
1364640 2014-01-08 19:56:00 Thanks for the suggestions so far guys I’ll work through them. :thumbs:

I have had a setback in that my machine being XP SP2 with 2Gig RAM and a 2.4 Gig Celeron CPU appears to be way under specs for most of the Editors on offer. :horrified

Programmes these days just get more and more resource hungry.

Plod: Yes the Filename is an oddball and certainly not allocated by me. I’ll change it and see if it makes a difference but I was under the impression that Filenames could be up to 250 characters, if memory serves me correctly.

Speedy: HDD definitely NTFS.

Thanks again for the input so far. :thumbs:

Yup that's definitely under-specced, any Celeron is rubbish for video editiong. If you're doing this often you'd want some flavour of Core i5 at least.

To some degree, that would be due to the sloppy coding considering you can do limited video editing on an iPhone with the right app :)

1364644 2014-01-10 02:40:00 Well I don’t know how many variations of this file I have now, :D some with sound, some apparently without, so I thought I would stick one on a flash drive and plug it into a TV and see what happens .

Oh no I won’t!

My flash drive is reported as full no matter what variation of masterpiece I try, when in fact there is plenty of room .

I suspect I am being caught by the 4 gig limit of file size on a FAT32 formatted flash drive??

Anyway, what is the correct protocol to edit and then replay a 1hr 40min movie on a TV?

Point being, can a TV read, via USB input, NTFS formatted data storage devices? (External drive?)

:thanks

Yes it can .

1364646 2014-01-10 03:04:00 Yes it can.

Thank you, I'll move onto a USB external HDD and see what happens. :thumbs:

1364647 2014-01-10 03:16:00 My girlfriend has a selection of movies on her laptop. We just take the HDMI cable out of the back of the DVD player and plug it in to the laptop and then choose the HDMI output under settings on the TV and we are good to go so I would imagine that USB would work in a similar way.
