I have a bunch of .avi videos which i want to burn onto a DVD. The first time i burned something i added a shot intro movie and one video clip with a default menu to test it out, that worked fine    . For that i used Fit to disk. I tried making another non test disk and i created a menu with audio and sub menus and the works and i added 5 videos still on the Fit to disk setting, which it barely fit. When i go to burn it stayed at 0% for about 2 hours and i thought something was wrong with the disk so i stopped it and used another disk (same type that was used for the project that worked). I restart the burning and decide to leave it alone. I left it to burn for 11 hours overnight and when i woke up it was still at 0% and when i took the disk out and put it back in there was nothing on it. How come its not burning this new dvd when it burned the old one fine?
Thanks

Your test had absolutely nothing in common with your project, that much is clear.

You are giving us absolutely nothing to work with other than it don’t work???

If you have RW media, use that and try a test with a tiny portion of your project.

All i have is DVD+Rs, i don't currently have RW. Sorry, I'm new to the program so i don't really know what else to explain. I am using different .avi files than i used before could it be a codec issue?

If you're talking about the progress sitting at 0% in MyDVD, then it's during the encoding and is video card/chip related. It hasn't even reached the disc burning stage.

To fix that, update your video drivers to the most current from the maker of your card/chip. DO NOT use Windows Updates to update them.

If you already have the most current version, uninstall them, reboot to generic Windows drivers, then re-install them.

I tried uninstalling the drivers and installed the newest nVidia Drivers. It still sitting at 0% during Encoding.

After you uninstalled them, did you reboot so you were using the generic windows drivers before you tried installing the new nvidia ones?

did you have any anti-virus and spyware/malware software disabled while uninstalling/installing?

[mike13579]

I uninstalled and than rebooted, i installed the new ones and than rebooted again. I have a free version of McAfee which was on.

Did MyDVD display a message about testing your video card when you opened it afterwards?

If not, the drivers didn't get uninstalled/installed cleanly.

You could try the uninstall/reboot/install again, only this time turn McAfee off first.

[mike13579]

I did what you said and turned McAfee off. It is still staying at 0% during Encoding.

Just to be sure, what Roxio program and version are you using?  You posted in Creator 2009 which is not the same as Easy Media Creator 9.  Also is it the full version or was it something you got with your computer or bought from somewhere like e-bay?

What are you trying to burn to the disc?  How are you doing it?  Did you read this?.  If you are not following the directions, where do you differ?

Please read each reply thoroughly and answer all questions.  

Did you install the program with McAfee running?
