myDVD hangs on burn project

[griffin51]

I am pulling my hair out over myDVD non-burning! I installed a new video card, updated all drivers, DirextX 9, and have followed all suggestions I can find to no avail.

I can create the project and it looks and previews just fine.

But when I click on burn it opens the Burn Project and nothing ealse happens from then on. I have gone to bed and it is unchanged when I wake up.

The Burn Project dialog box shows:

 

Overall progress (0%)

 

Current task: Encoding Moie 1 of 3 (0%)

 

and that is where it sticks. The status bars show nothing and the 0% never changes.

I have a P4 2.4mHZ 512 mb ram with 512 mb on the graphics card.

 

I save the DVD's to my hard drive, they play correctly from there, and I can burn them using Disc Copier to blank DVD's.

 

I've kind of figured out a way around the above.

From a couple of hints I found out that Disc Copier in the suite can convert the vob files to other formats.

Choosing mpg for first attempt encoding and burned the compiled mpg without a hitch,

Though if you don't select each chapter in the drop down from the movie it only converts the first chapter, but IT BURNED!

I've selected all chapters of vob files and it seems to be converted each vob into a separate mpg file, so my next step is to see if they combined when I import them into myDVD.

 

Hope this week long ordeal with this solution may help someone else.

The only thing I have found that works to correct the 0%, is to remove and reinstall the video drivers, even if you have the most current installed.

- uninstall the drivers

- reboot

- install the drivers

- reboot

- now open MyDVD or Videowave and it wil re evaluate your video adapter

 

Note: your A/V and Spyware software should also be disabled suring the uninstall and install routines.

 

Thanks Larry. But...

I'm assuming you meant my graphics card driver, which I had already tried. To no avail. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything I can think of with no changes.

The only thing that has helped is the changing which program I encode with within the suite, see above addendum

That's what he meant. I have to ask tho if you obtained the drivers from the card maker's website (nVidia, ATI or whatever). The reason is that quite often 'big name' machines don't have the latest drivers available - better getting them direct.

 

Also, did you install DirectX 9.0c (Dec release) from MS?

 

When you uninstall the existing drivers btw, you should force the computer to that horrible 16 colour state - if it's not that then the drivers are still present and running
