Currently testing DVD Architect 2.0. The GUI and the ability to review via a broadcast monitor make it a step up from other authoring software I have used in the past. What a pleasure!!!
The biggest glitch I have encountered is the following:
The media (video) that I am importing into DVDA are all elementary stream MPEG-2 files via the Cinema Craft encoder. When a video item is dropped into DVDA it displays (and plays) the clip “squashed” to around a third of its native height. It looks as if it’s playing 235 aspect ratio rather than regular 4:3 which is what the clips are encoded at.
If I close DVDA saving my project and then delete the *.SFVX files that appear in the windows folder that the MPEG-2 files reside in and then re-open DVDA it works fine. If I close and reopen the app. with out again deleting the SVFX files which DVDA seems to re-create each time it opens it then reverts back to playing these video assets "squashed"
What are these SVFX files and why the work around to get these very “standard” MPEG-2 clips into DVDA? Am I missing something simple here?
All thoughts most appreciated.
Cheers,
