I am trying to use Scenarist but I´m having problems :

If for example I try to import a .mpa file for sound everything is OK. but when I try to import a .m2v or even a .mpg file of video then it reject it .

The only clue I can give you because I am very new in this stuff is that in the rear left window, under General I have 2 WARNING messages:

1. Warning ! Quadrant or Sigma Design MPEG decoder is not presentor the driver is not installed.

2. Warning ! Hardware decoding of video may not work.

I have allready download the Sigma Design MPEG but I am sure that I am missing something...
I have also try to find simmilar problems in your forum but I found nothing so I decided to make this post trying to get help....

Thank you all in advance !!:confused: :cool: :)

The warning you are seeing is just notifying you, there is no hardware to provide realtime playback. This means the preview functions will not work for this or Maestro. Some time ago there were cinemaster 2000 drivers available which would emulate this functionality, however I do not know where you would get them from now! This would not be what is stopping you from importing your M2V file. What message are you getting in the information window when trying to import.

I have the program deleted from the hard disc.
It is too complicated for me, and it was borrowed from a friend just to try.

Anyway thank you for your support....

Too bad you deleted it, I could have explained you how to add your subtitles in a few minutes! That warning means nothing unless you actually have an expensive MPEG hardware decoder card.

Neither Scenarist nor Maestro accept .mpg files, only elementary streams: .m2v video and .wav or .ac3 audio (.mpa for PAL projects only).
