Sir: I am using Roxio Creator 2010 Pro Version 1.2.193; 5.0.0.0 Build: 121B93A, R04; 500B22A, RO4. I have taken a video of a football game consisting of 117 movie clips. I have converted the HD output from a Canon VIXIA HF S10 (*.mts files) to Microsoft Windows Media Video HD using "copy and convert video" (WMV HD 1080). This worked fine and converted the clips into *.wmv files. I then attempted to burn these 117 movie clips on to a DVD using myDVD. The total space required for the movie clips was only abou 2.7 Gbytes, much less than the 4.7 Gbytes available. When I attempted to do this, and I repeated three times after rebooting, I got the following error message "8004520c ERROR WHILE ENCODING MOVIE 1". I then ran two experiments. First I attempted to run again, starting with the same beginning file by itself. This ran fine. Then I attempted to run again but only encoding 10 clips (movies) but also starting with the same beginning clip. This again also worked fine. Is this a bug or is there an upper limit to the number of Video Clips (Movies) that I can burn onto a DVD using myDVD? I have used this same process to burn DVDs for our coaches just last week and everything worked fine. The only difference was the number of movies. What does this specific eror message tell you? I have had a similar problem with myDVD in the past but using a different encoding scheme, but getting the same error message.

Are you making a data disc or a movie disc? A movie disc will only put about 1 hour of best quality video on a disc; any more, it will be compressed. If the total size of the movies are less than about 2 hours, you may be running into a disc standard that allows no more than 99 chapters on a disc. Again that is not Roxio; it is a standard.

From Wiiipedia:

Other requirements
Interlacing is only supported for MPEG-2 video, due to MPEG-1 constraints. 16:9 aspect ratio anamorphic video is only supported at 720 × 576/480, and all resolutions support 4:3 aspect ratio video. The maximum chapters allowed per title is 99 and the maximum titles allowed per DVD is 99.
DVD-Video discs have a raw bitrate of 11.08 Mbit/s, with a 1.0 Mbit/s overhead, leaving a payload bitrate of 10.08 Mbit/s. Of this, up to 3.36 Mbit/s can be used for subtitles and a maximum of 9.80 Mbit/s can be split amongst audio and video. In the case of multiple angles the data is stored interleaved, and so there's a bitrate penalty leading to a max bitrate of 8 Mbit/s per angle to compensate for additional seek time. This limit is not cumulative, so each additional angle can still have up to 8 Mbit/s of bitrate available.

Steve: Thank you very much for this valuable information. I am making a movie disc. In the process of burning myDVD asks you if you would like to burn as a single movie or multiple moves. I am burning as a single movie so I only have 1 Chapter. myDVD is connecting the chapters into one. I will run two experiments. The first with about 90 clips and the secon with 100. I only have about 30 minutes of video Max for all 117 clips combined. Are there release notes for Creator 2010 Pro that spell out what the error messages are and what do they mean? Someone at Roxio or some subcontractor who wrote this code knows what will invoke the specific error message and can tell us in 10 seconds what is causing it.

Steve: I ran a test with 90 clips and that does not work either.

Launch Videowave, add your video clips and Output to DVD mpeg2, best quality. This should tell you if there is a problem with the video clips. Why did you convert to wmv HD video?

Walt: Good suggestion. I will try it. I convert to WMV HD so I can upload to youtube as well which will now accept 1280 x 720 and recommends it

Hello,
Just a comment (misery loves company); I am doing almost exactly the same thing with a similar camera (Canon Vixia HF200) using Creator 2010 ver 1.2.193; 5.0.0.0 build 121B93a, R03; 500B22A, R03. I am having similar frustrations. I have had some sporadic sucess but not repeatable success. I am breaking my clips into 4 movies by quarter or 2 movies by half & trying to create image (*.iso) files for copying. On average it seems to take me about 4-5 days of tinkering to get a complete burn! Once it works I am golden but the same method never seems to work twice. I have 1 game without menus & 1 with; I was able to burn directly to a disc for another game but it didn't work the second time ( not to mention this method is not practical for making copies). I also tried to create a folder set unsuccessfully. After repeated failures with 1 game I removed the first quarter (movie1) & 2,3 & 4 worked fine. I then made an image of movie 1 on a seperate disc & gave both discs to the coach! My games as recorded are running around 2.2Gb. My PC is not as gutsy as yours but still exceeds minimum reqs nicely (dual core @ 2GHz w/3Gb ram & 512mb video card). I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit sp2. I am constantly killing MYDVD & Videowave12. I have had the software for a few weeks & going back & forth w/ cust support without much luck.

I wish you would speak English unless Roxio is only meant for experts. I have used Creator 2009 many times, with many problems. I bought 2010 hoping it was better. I have a movie finished with 98 segments, a total of 33 minutes long. I have tried about 10 times, and get only this error message: "error encoding movie". I have tried every suggestion you seem to have, although there is NO option to burn it as a data disc anywhere in the whole program. I am about to take it back to Costco and just use tha older version. My computer is new , custom built with 1 T memory.

A TERABYTE of memory???????????????

I don't think even a Cray has that amount

junecareyart; What possible use would you have for a Data Disc???

Why don't you start a new Topic instead of trying to dig up the dead (Sep 2009) and detail what your desired output result is along with what you are doing to get there.

We should be able to build from that.
