MoviePlus V6 Problems
I am having a lot of bother with MTS files, I have loads of them from videos I shot on my SONY video camera 1n the1990s.
Every time I load them into MoviePlus I am told that they are locked and I need to contact someone at Serif to unlock them before they can be accepted for editing into the program. And we all know how useless that is.
Can any wise person help me out in this please?

Unfortunately you are stuffed due to Serif's lack of respect for its MVP users. The only answer is to convert your mts files into a format that your MVPX6 can handle which will depend on what codecs you do have unlocked.
Do you have any earlier versions of MVP? MVPX3 doesn't require codec unlocking but I cannot recall if it handled mts files.

Is this only old MTS files ? I have just tried with an MTS shot that I took just now with my Sony camcorder, and it's fine !

My wife used the same SONY Handycam to film a talk just recently and MovieplusX6 won't accept any of the files.
At present I am trying out the trial version of Corel VisualStudio Pro X8.
It accepts all MTS files with no bother but it costs £79 for the full version. I have to decide whether I can afford it.
It has all the bells and whistles though, if I have any pretensions towards Youtube I may have to buy it.

Are you using the same computer that you have had MPX6 installed on when it worked OK or not ? I can even edit 4k on MPX6 on mine but obviously cant export it at that high a resolution, however I can get away with rendering a lot higher than 1080p
Johnk Just a thought you could download "Video Proc Vlogger" for nothing that will edit just about anything, and it doesn't have any water marks. I often use it to get me out of problems.
I think I have found a complete solution to my problem. From a video expert on line I discovered a free open-source program that accepts MTS files with no problems.
It can be downloaded from: https://www.shotcut.org/. and it does everything that programs which you need to pay for.
I hope this can be helpful to other SONY Handycam owners with similar problems.
