I am trying to burn a DVD using Roxio MyDVD9 on my Latitude D630 and keep receiving the following error:  80004005 Error while encoding movie.

I went to the Roxio website and a posting in one of the forums indicated that I needed an updated video driver.

So I went to www.nvidia.com to obtain an updated driver and was informed "Dell requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site."  Apparently this video driver has been customized for power and laptop events.

So I went to Dell downloaded the most recent video driver, installed and still have no luck (http://support.dell....6&fileid=234921)

I then uninstalled the video driver altogether and installed the video driver from a clean reboot running the default VGA driver.  Still no luck.

Just to make sure I went to Roxio to check for application updates and also ran Windows  update to make sure my machine was current with all patches.  I still receive the same error.

The application never gets to the video rendering stage, so I am fairly certain it is not my DVD burner.  Attempting to create a ISO file results in the same error, also indicating it is not a burner issue, but a driver issue.

My systems specs are the following:
XP Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11 GenuineIntel ~2194 Mhz
Total Physical Memory 4,096.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 2.85 GB
Video driver: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M version 156.83

Any ideas or suggestions?  I really would like to get the kids holiday videos burned to CD and sent to family but am stuck.

Thanks!

In VideoWave and MyDVD under tools options is the video rendering set for hardware or software? Try the software setting.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just changed from hardware rendering to software and receive the same error.  I also tried uninstalling MyDVD9 and re-installing and still no luck.  All I recieve is the same 800040005 error.

Unfortunately, the same error is returned.  On my old laptop, what would happen is the video files would render in a small window displaying the vidoe being rendered and an overall progress.  The application now just shows the following:

Perhaps there is something wrong in your production.  Did you do your editing in VideoWave?  If so, load the project and then select to output the video  to a mpg2 file.  If it hangs, it is because there is something in your project that the program doesn't like - music, transition timing, too short a segment, etc.  Note the time and look at what is going on at that time.

If it encodes, close VideoWave and open MyDVD, add that mpg2 file (with or without menus) and try again burning to an ISO file.  Oh, BTW turn off the normalize audio check box.

I have somewhat of the same problem. I've gone to your second step in My DVD 9 since I was able to create an MPEG 2 file -  its got a .dat on the end if that is the right file - when I try to import or add it - I either get something that says an "invalid project", or the file you are trying to use cannot be edited and will not be added - I never had a problem before burning an iso file or burning directly from my completed project which took longer, but worked. Doesn't make sense to me since it worked before...

You are adding the wrong file. If you output to a mpeg2 file then the extension has to be mpg. The dat file is part of the projects file set; the other project file part has the extension dmsm. The project files simply contain the instruction of your video project such as editing, transition as well as the list of source file. You can add the project file in myDVD but then you have to select the dmsm file not the dat file.

I figured out a way around the Roxio issue temporarily. I found the MPG file (not the data file), and was able to burn it in Nero Vision Express. I would prefer to be able to create an ISO file from my project which would take less time to burn but at least this works. I had a feeling that the data file would not work for that purpose.

Have you tried the mpg file in Roxio to create the iso file?

I will try again tonight and let you know...

I've been too busy at work to get at it last night. I just messed it with now in Roxio. I was assuming I'd go to My DVD Express like I did before to burn the ISO File. I'm able to find the Mpg file I want to convert in My Videos, but when I load it after clicking on New Movie as suggested in the help menu for DVD Express, I get a window that says "The file you are trying to use cannot be edited, and will not be added". Very frustrating - don't know why I can't just do it - I don't want to do any further editing - just burn an ISO image or burn to DVD. I am a novice, so bear with me - maybe its something simple I'm overlooking or have missed, but I haven't found it.

I thought I was just on to something in My DVD (not My DVD Express) when I was able to open what I wanted to burn and change the Menu style, etc to get it ready - but same old story when I clicked on burn to disc and then checked burn to disc and ISO - 80004005, #$^@, looks like I'll have to rely on VideoWave to create and Nero Vision Express to burn, and forget about the ISO for now...

When burning to iso make sure that "burn to disc" is unchecked. Also forget about using myDVD Express it causes all sorts of problems and has limitations.

Why is it that apparently this is such a common issue with EMC9, yet there is no real fix?  I have been burning DVDs for the past year and a half with absolutely no problem at all; then all ofa sudden I getthe same error message and cannot burn DVDs any more.  It doesn't help trying to make an ISO file (doesn't work either), or any of the other suggestions that I have read.  I went out and bought a new graphics card, which was the suggestion of tech support (NVIDIA 6200)...  updated to the latest drivers, still no help.

Why if it worked all that time, and I didn't make ANY setting changes at all, does it no longer work?  Is there not any "patch" or product update that can fix this issue?

If not, does anyone have another program that they would suggest to create DVDs, that wouldn't suffer from the same issues?

I am just looking for a reliable way to make my DVDs.

Thanks for any insight.

The bolded text above, says it all.  You need to try to figure what you did to cause it not to work anymore.  There is no Roxio patch for something that you said worked.

It could be software that you added, a Windows update, or most anything.  It's hard to say.  It could even be your burner going belly up, bad media, or too fast burn speed.
