![]() Indeed, when you choose Customise in Share > Create Video File, and set it for VCD, the Encoder Driver is shown as Ulead MPEG.Now - though IIRC this is what was always shown. At the very least, just about every PC user with XP will have either WMP 9 or 10 on their computers whereas the same cannot be guaranteed for Quicktime. But still, it is a problem and one which Ulead needs to sort out. Mind you, we may be talking about a relatively small group of people who fit into either of these categories AND who are still using the VCD format. Using Quicktime is a work-around and not a solution, particularly to those people who either do not have it on their computers or those who do not want it. I will investigate further when I have time, and post back here if I find any results. But the question is: what? As I say, Gspot tells me I only have two mpeg-1 codecs on my main computer - the Microsoft quartz.dll one installed with Windows and the one installed by my analogue capture card (Winfast DV2000 - you don't happen to have one of those installed, do you?). So in fact VS10+ does seem to install something which interferes with VCD/mpeg-1 creation even when using VS9 on the same computer. ![]() Very interestingly, apart from playing in both my main computer and laptop, it also plays perfectly well in the third old clunker. I then made a separate VCD/mpeg-1 file on my laptop (which does not have VS10) using VS9. I next made the VCD/mpeg-1 test file on my main computer, but this time using VS9. Transferring it to my third computer (with no video editing software), however, WMP reported it did not have the correct codec to play the file. The file played just as well in WMP 10, PowerDVD 7 and VS9 on that computer, including full audio. I transferred the file to my laptop, which as I say, only has VS9 on it. It plays well, including audio, on my main computer's Windows Media Player 10, as well as in Cyberlink's PowerDVD 7 (and of course the preview window of VS10+). Using VS10+ on my main computer, I converted a 10 minute DV/AVI file with audio (consisting of the original audio, plus voiceover plus added music) to VCD/mpg-1, as you did. All three also all show the same Microsoft mpeg-1 codec. All three computers, however, run XP Pro, and have Windows Media Player 10. As luck would have it, I also have an old clunker third computer, which is too slow for any video editing so has no version of Video Studio on it. ![]() I have VS10+ on my main computer (as well as VS9), and on another computer (my Dell laptop) I have only VS9. STOP PRESS: Before posting this, I thought I would do an experiment and try to replicate your problem. You might want to do a Google search for either Sherlock or GSpot, which are freeware tools which will show you all the video and audio codecs on your computer(s) and their makers. (I also have another mpeg-1 codec installed by my analogue capture card.) So I am at a loss to explain your problem since - in theory at least - both VS9 and 10 use exactly the same codec, and it is not a Ulead/InterVideo codec in the first place. That is installed natively by Microsoft as part of the Windows XP DirectShow Runtime set up. As far as I am aware, Video Studio does not install an mpeg-1 codec at all. We had an almost identical query here just a few days ago.
