MyDVD/DVD Music Assistant Interoperability Problems?

[sbendis]

Greetings, all!

 

I noticed that using the DVD Music Assistant app's saved files with MyDVD causes problems with the project. Can anyone else out there try out these steps and determine if this is just me or a real problem with the app?

 

1. Start the Roxio "Home" app.

2. From the Audio menu, choose Quick Music DVD.

3. Use the DVD Music Assistant to import a couple of CDs into the project.

4. Step through the assistant until step 3, choose to save instead of burn.

5. Close the DVD Music Assistant.

6. Navigate to your saved project, and double-click it. This should open MyDVD to continue editing the project.

 

I noticed that the project size graph only shows the correct size of the project when the file is first opened. After that, edits to the project trigger the graph to show zero. Initially I didn't care about this, as I wasn't close to filling the project's disc so I would just periodically save and reload the project for a reading of the project size. After accidentally going over the maximum size for the disc, I found that I was not able to remove items from the project; or rather they would appear to be deleted but would still be there upon a refresh or reload.

 

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? TIA,

Instead of using the DVD Assistant try going directly to Music Disc Creator and creating the disc that way and see what happens.I tried what you asked and I got 0:00 after starting to change the project.I don't have time to check with MDC right now but will later if I still need to.

 

Absolutely. I was just wondering if this was repeatable on someone else's system other than my own. If so, I'm hoping that someone from Roxio catches the post so they can retest that section of the app because it doesn't appear to work as intended. I don't think that you have to push a disc to it's capacity to see the problems removing items from the project; I bet you'd be able to see that project items aren't removable even with just a few discs in the project.

 

Thanks for your reply!
