If Power Director for some reason has some type of unique encoding error for a particular format it sets a flag of 1 in windows registry for that particular profile. This greys out the fast rendering settings when that profile is selected. Reset the windows registry key back to 0 should fix the problem.
Eg if you are trying to produce a video in MPEG 4 - 1920x1080 and the fast rendering section is greyed out but other size pixel outputs work it is most likely the registry.
Edit windows registry at your own risk! With regedit migrate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCyberlinkCES_FunctionLoggerData
See if any values are set to 1 with PD not loaded. All those values should essentially be zero.
I found that the following key was set with data value of 1, I changed it to 0 and it fixed the problem immediately.
MSDK_MPEG4[H264,AAC]_1920x1080p
