hi everyone, hope someone can help ...

I am using a toshiba satellite laptop with 3gb of ram and windows vista. I am trying to create a slideshow using Videowave and would like to make it AVCHD. When the program gets to the disk burning stage an error occurs stating error writing format. Everything works fine if I choose DVD.

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you,

Rod K

Not much information on how you are trying to do it. Perhaps a step-by-step description?

How long in time is the slideshow project? Also list your system specs, especially video adapter  or card. RAM is normally not a big problem

Ok,

what I've done is created a 10 minute slideshow using jpeg images and 3d themed transitions. I tried to burn directly to dvd using the AVCHD option. I also tried saving the slideshow and creating an mp4 and reopening to my dvd. The exact error is:

Project_BuildToDevice()Authorscript Call Failed -error while writing Format
The other option I tried is to save an Image file but got the same error. It seems it's not a disk error.

Try it without the 3D transitions. Also switch the render mode in Tool/Options software or hardware

Unfortunately that error has been around for a long time. Read this  (link)  ;   it seems to work for some posters with the same problem.

A question please.  Does your DVD player support the playing of AVCHD discs?   Not all blu-ray players do.
