I am using MyDVD 9 to try and burn a DVD on Vista RTM (i.e. this is not beta 2, or a release candidate). Everything seems to go fine, and encoding starts (I see the preview window with the frames moving) until it gets to about 54% of the encoding done. Then the progress bar just sits there and nothing happens. Encoding doesn't progress, there are no errors, nothing.

Am I right to assume this couldn't be a video driver issue since encoding does seem to partially work? Or could this be a video driver issue anyway? I wonder if turning off the glass interface would help?

You're not likely to get help on this here as Vista, though the RTM, is not released yet and Roxio has stated that when it's rolled out, it will be supported.  
I still think it should work though but it won't hurt to turn off the interface.

Paul is correct.  If you have Vista on your hard drive.  It is beta.

Yes, I understand that Vista isn't officially supported yet. But I was just wondering if anyone had seen this issue before. What would cause this type of problem on XP, or is this something no one has ever encountered before?

I tried turning off the glass/aero interface in Vista and it didn't help. I also optimized the 3d features of the nVIDIA driver for performance rather than quality. This seemed to speed up the encoding but it still stops at 54%.

Can we rule out the video driver since it actually seems to start the encoding? What other types of things could cause this kind of issue?

By the way, what would happen if I changed the video driver settings to run in 16bit? Will it reduce the quality of the image being encoded?

Could there be something wrong in the original file?  Where did it come from?
