Editing
Symptom
Corrective Action
Videos cannot be edited.
Only video (motion pictures or still pictures) stored on the computer can be edited or copied to
media. Copy video stored on other media to your computer before use.
Results of editing do not match the
frames I selected.
With some types of motion pictures, frames may not match the frames selected during editing.
Motion pictures output in MPEG2 format
cannot be handled with DVD-Video
production software.
When 5.1 channel motion picture is exported to MPEG2 format using [Save with the same as
the original image], the aspect ratio is 16:9 and the sound is 5.1 channel. It may not be possible
to use this content in software that does not specifically support this format. In this case, try
performing a conversion by selecting [Save with 2 channels].
