I am using EMC 10, then opening the "MyDVD" componant. Once in there, I add 4-30 minute tv shows in Tivo format. It will encode these to 100% just fine. However, it never burns anything to DVD. The "burn to disk" option is selected when I click the burn icon. I verified there is enough space on the DVD-R, as the quality is set for "fit to disk" and it changed it to LP automatically to fit them on there. It will burn 1 video fine, only when adding multiple videos do I have this problem (even if that one video is 2 hours). So length of video is the same, just 1 clip compared to 4. I tried converting the video format from Tivo to MPEG format, then adding the MPEG movies, and having the same issue. Anyone have any ideas why it would encode everything fine then never burn and the "MyDVD" componant just closes out completely? I tried saving as an image file as well, it creates the image, but how do I burn that to a disk playable in DVD player? Hope someone can help, thanks.

I strongly suggest to continue using the image file process as I think the extra bit of time is worth it.
To burn an ISO to disc, open up either Video Copy and Convert or the 'Burn Disc Image to Disc' function in the Home screen under 'Copy'. ISO's work very well in all the players I've used.

Hey, I tried burning to image, and it did create a 4 GB ISO file on my PC. From there, I tried the "burn image to disk" which it did, but unable to play on standard DVD player.

There has to be a way to burn 4, 30 minute, video clips using the MYDVD componant. I am going to test with Nero as well later today to see if a Roxio issue, or PC issue. Any other suggestions I can try?

Does this application work better in Windows Vista?

Does that DVD you created play through your DVD burner on your PC? If yes, then there is nothing wrong with the burn and the problem may be the DVD media you are using or DVD player does not "like" the media you are using.

No, when I try to play in the DVD player of the PC, gives an error message.

What is the error message?

Have you tried to create a virtual drive on your PC (using Disc Image loader), load the iso file onto the virtual drive and play it there? That would show if there is something wrong with the file or if there is a burn problem

I will give that a shot and see what happens. I know there is something wrong, I've yet to get this program to burn any DVD, other then a DVD with a single video clip of any length. Anytime there is more then one video clip added, regardless of length, it crashes after encoding it, never even beginning the actual burn process. Think a clean install would help? Is there a process for this, or just uninstall, then reinstall?

I also cannot create a usable DVD from MyDVD that has more than 1 movie. I don't get an error message. It simply doesn't load in my DVD players and my PC's. I haven't tried to figure out why or a workaround (save for having only 1 movie).

I use EMC10 on Vista. I did burn an ISO image first to no avail. I would try installing on my XP box but my EMC9 handles 2 movies fine there so I don't want to lose the capability. I'd love to try installing Vista SP1 (service pack 1) but it seems to have its own problems. Oh well.
More to come if I figure out a workaround.

Did you burn to an image file instead of burning directly to a DVD? If not, give it a shot. Then burn to a DVD, using Video Copy and Convert.
