When using My DVD 9 (Build 900B88I ENU) trying to burn a DVD it validates OK then encodes movie1 of 2 ok, then fails when it starts to encode movie 2 of 2 with error:

80004005 Error while Encoding Movie
An unrecoverable device error occurred. Error while Aborting

I have read the other threads about this problem - and as far as I see it should now work. Can you suggest anything else I can try?

Cheers

Have you tried burning to an image file instead of direct to disc? See if you can do that without an error then you can burn your ISO to disc with Disc Copier or Creator Classic.

I've a feeling here Paul this could be the graphics - the 'Shuttle' series are very small compact boxes (with micro-format boards and a lack of expansion slots) and as far as I can tell, the graphics are onboard with 64 MB shared memory, so hardware render will not be an option.

Yeah, that error sounds like it is related to the video card to me as well so I would suggest that the previous poster's idea is on track.

Matrox Millinemum P650
Key features
• 64 MB of DDR graphics memory
• AGP 8x Interface, compatible with all 8x, 4x, 2x, 1x* systems
• DualHead up to 1920 x 1440 per display
• Dual-DVI up to 1920 x 1200 per display**
Reading through the support pages, looks like the driver has been updated to DirectX 9 'compatible'. However, it appears this chipset would not work on hardware render plus you only have 64MB of graphic's memory. I'm fairly sure that 128MB is minimum recommended.

From system requirements from Roxio's page:

1024x768, 16-bit color graphics card; 24-bit or 32-bit true color recommended
DirectX 9 or higher compatible sound card and graphics card

Regarding EMC tasks, 64MB or even 32MB should be perfectly enough (unless there is something specific about EMC I don't know- I guess that it uses hardware for some transitions and maybe some basic colorspace conversions (?)).

Anyway, Troglodytes writes about using software rendering.

Actually it does use the graphics hardware in rendering - that's why it specifies a graphics card - onboard graphics in general just don't cut it - sorry

[font=Tahoma] Well, I've meticulously gone through all your expert opinions, and used it but that still does not resolve my problem.
Can somebody please crack this issue!?

Please re-post and let us know your system specs, similar to what has been done by others

OK - your problem isn't the graphics card, however, have you gone to ATI and got the latest drivers from there? Also, did you update DirectX to the latest (9.0c from MS)?

The DirectX is NOT a normal MS update - it has to be downloaded and installed manually from MS and is not available on Windows Update and the video drivers from either MS or Dell are almost certain to be some time behind the maker's ones

Also, are you running Internet Explorer 7 and/or Media Player 11?

oh yes I have downloaded and ran the latest ATI drivers. i'll follow up on the DirectX update but i think i did.

I am running IE7 and MP11.

[gi7omy]

IE7 and WMP11 have both been causing problems - try removing them and see if that helps
