MSPro7 SP2 MPEG fix.....

[Dr Mordrid]

MSPro7 users

Many who have installed the MSPro7 SP2 patch have had problems with MPEG's that visually "pulse), bitrate overruns, Video Capture and DirectX audio filter causing Video Editor to halt on loading.

Ulead has given me permission to post a BETA fix for the SP2 issues. They're also asking for some help in tracking down the Vidco Capture and Video Editor/DirectX issues.

Here's the BETA patches link;

http://digitalvideo.8m.net/msp72betafix/msp7_patch2_beta.exe

The following is the info Ulead gave me re: what this BETA fix does;

1. Update 5 files in Program FilesCommon FilesUlead SystemsMPEG.

This is for the MPEG-2 problem you mentioned. We can regenerate the same problem only in bit rate below 2000kb. It's caused by VBR Accurate Bit Rate Control, so we update following files to fix it;

MPGVOUT.dll
mpgvout.001
mpgvout.002
mpgvout.003
mpgvout.004

2. Update 1 file in MSP7 install path, it'll disable VE (Video Editor) to mount DirectX audio filter. We do this temporally to test if the DX audio filter initialization really causes the start up fail;

dxaudmgr.dll

3. Add a new key in Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Ulead Systems/Ulead MediaStudio Pro/7.0/msp.ini.

This is for Video Capture related problems. It'll make Video Capture to write a log file looks like 11_8_41_15.log in C: root.

If someone having Video Capture problem who can give us the log file, it would help us a lot because we can not regenerate the same Video Capture problem.

We made an installer for doing these 3 things and it can be un-installed.

Send the 11_8_41_15.log files and other info you generate re: Video Capture and Video Editor/DirectX audio filters to;

msp72betapatch@digitalvideo.8m.net

and I'll forward them to the appropriate place.

PS:

IF you're not having problems with DirectX audio filters loading then you can copy the original 7.2 version of dxaudmgr.dll to a safe place then restore it after installing the patch.

This will allow the Dx audio filters to load normally.

I have exchanged mpgvout.004 with the one in PS1 and now installed the beta PS2.

Uninstalling PS2 beta, it appears, that will restore the mpgvout.004 in PS2, since the file size is identical.

I installed the beta patch. Video capture still will not work. I can't control the camera from the screen. When I manually start the camera, I get a single still and it shows I'm capturing about 1 frame per second. When I look at the log file, it's empty. I'm not too adept with this and am pretty much a novice.

What device control driver are you using? What camera?

Dr. Mordrid,

My device control driver was set to none. Works fine after selecting one. Thanks much.
