Codec problem in Mediastudio 6

Hi there,

I am trying to letterbox my short, but Mediastudio wouldn't allow me. When I try to create the file, the following comes up:

This Video codec can not compress the video with the specific frame size (I am using a German version, so this is a translation)

I want to change the size of the letterboxes manually, so 16:9 settings wouldn't do it for me.

The same problem occurs when changing the picture size from 720x576 to 320X240 for the internet.

I got the correct settings:
PAL (25 B/s)
Field A
Microsoft AVI Dateien
24 Bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
DV Video Encoder -- type 1
Interleave-Audio alle 1 Bilder
DV Audio - PAL, 48 kHz; 16 Bit; Stereo

I also got the Mediastudio-update for Pro 6.

I hope somebody can help me

Best regards

Jürgen

Sounds (and looks) like you're trying to use a non-standard frame size with a DV codec. The solution? Use an MPEG4 codec such as WMV, Xvid or DivX. This will also be ideal for web based video (DV AVI won't cut the mustard). Use a VBR of 600kbits/sec.

Hi Marc,

I installed DivX521, but still I can only cut when I activate 'original size' (distorted picture)...
Also the resizing to 320X240 doesn't work .

Thanks
Jürgen

I restarted my pc this morning, and it did the trick.
