Convert MP4 to PowerDirector Supported Video Formats

The point here, sometimes still you will find it a painful experience to import MP4 files to PowerDirector (PD 15 Ultra/Ultimate/Ultimate Suite/Director Suite included) for editing. And there are frequently asked questions quoted below:

"Cannot import .mp4 into CyberLink PowerDirector 15 Ultra. I specifically checked the import formats of this software before I bought it, but now I cannot import them and the program cites an "unsupported format" error. Very frustrated and confused."

"I got a bunch of video recordings in .MP4 format that from my GoPro Hero 3 and Sony PMW-EX3. Whereas, when I wanna edit those MP4 footage in PowerDirector before sharing with my friends, I met problems: PD handled with the MP4 files so slowly and some files even couldn't be recognized. I couldn't edit my videos smoothly."
