I was an avid Powerdesk user, and i really like Dopus so far, I use Ulead for editing my tv shows (pc-tivo stuff) and with explorer, i would drag and drop the file into the ulead time line, Dopus wont let me do that, Even though in Ulead it says "drag and drop file here box" I can right click on a mpg file and choose open with ulead, and that works, but it doest allow me to drop the file into the middle of a timeline.
Dopus 8.0.11
I see draging and dropping works for other types of files. Whats the secret?
Thanks
This is quite strange since I can drop files from Opus to all my applications (e.g. mIRC, Photoshop, DevStudio, TextPad, etc.).
I asked Jon on IRC if Opus does anything unusual and it doesn't sound like it. Opus uses the usual CF_HDROP mechanism, except for files inside archives (Zip etc.) and FTP sites which cause Opus to use IStream instead.
It's possible that Ulead is expecting a particular drop format that Explorer provides but Opus doesn't. (When a file is dropped it can be offered in several formats simultaneously.) But this would mean that Ulead wouldn't allow drops from a lot of programs as the CF_HDROP method is the most common.
Or perhaps it's something slightly more stange... That's all I can think of, though.
Hi !
I tried it I think.
I dowloaded Ulead Video Studio 8 trial version to my Win98 SE system.
After a few restarts it worked for a while.
My system is great otherwise and Ulead claims it supports Win98.
It's a 133MB download and it did both Dopus drag and drop and Microsoft drag and drop while it worked.
It keeps erroring as:
VSTUDIO caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0197:bff9db61.

..... and keeps going with more of the same errors.
I use an old version of an Australian program called M1 - Edit.
It's quite expensive now and my version is all but obsolete.
I wish you luck !

Grrrrr ... Chew Chew .... Grrrrrr....
I'm Running XP SP2, and i also installed Ulead and Dopus on my laptop (to test this), and get the same results (also XP SP2), I get a small black circle with a line throught it (universal NO) when i drag it to the timeline, I know Ulead only accepts mpg and rejects all other formats, so i guess they are doing something special or looking for something special. Thanks for your help. 
updating to ulead 10 seemed to resolve issue. it was weird, as it worked on one machine but not the other.
thx
