Movie Studio 13 and DxTory incompability?

I have posted this in the movie studio forums however I only receive one response every 12 hours. I'm desperate for an answer. Android is full of smart people. Hopefully someone can lead me somewhere positive.

" I just bought Movie Studio 13 hoping I would be able to edit videos I record from DxTory, a DirectX video game recorder. However, upon trying to edit my first video, I am hit in the face with Movie Studio crashing every time I add media to the timeline. Upon more research, I have found the problem to be an incompatibility between the codec that DxTory uses, and what Movie Studio supports. Now, I know for a fact that some people who use DxTory also use Movie Studio 12 as their editing software, and if it was supported in the last generation of Movie Studio, it SHOULD be supported in movie Studio 13, otherwise it's a step back.*

So, as this is a codec problem, I went out and tried different codec's as well as different codec's DxTory comes with. All of them are horrible, the quality is horrible, and the frame rate is well below 10 FPS, meaning they are off my list. I have installed so far Xvid (Which doesn't record DirectX video, instead, it minimizes the game that I am playing)
Lagarith losless video codec (1, frame rate drops below 20, and Movie Studio 13 will crash upon moving to timeline.*
DxTory Video Codec (the one that should work out of the box, however Movie Studio Crashes).

I have a fairly powerful system that can handle edits. I currently have a:
AMD 6 Core processor clocked at 3.5 GHz.
8 GB RAM.
Nvidia GTX 650 GPU

Is there anything that I can do to get Movie Studio to function the way it should? Your help is appreciated."
 
Try Handbrake, it's free and should be able to transcode the game videos you made into a codec that the Sony video editing software can use, probably MP4. H264.

handbrake.fr

I use this myself for transcoding .FLV Flash videos into something I can edit with iMovie on the Mac.

Thanks, someone else has suggested that to me also.

I've come across this before, a friend was making movies from Second Life using the Fraps screen video capture software, and the codecs it used weren't supported by Sony Vegas. So the Second Life clips had to be transcoded into something that Vegas could handle.

I've almost given up on Movie Studio unless I can find some way to take the XTOR file from DxTory and transcoded it into MPEG4. Do you know of something that can do that?

My other option would be to sell Movie Studio and buy Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I already got the trial and it has worked fine.
