VidoeWave9 crash on dvr-ms conversion to mpg

[maestro]

Hi,

 

I'm creating a new production with VideoWave9.

I'm adding a file that I recorded with my PC in a dvr-ms format.

This file needs to be converted to a mpg format.

The window opens I select the file, then select the name of the converted file and click save.

It then crashes.

 

Error signature:

AppName: videowave9.exe

AppVer: 9.0.2.16

ModName: mpeg2muxer.dll

ModVer: 9.0.1.83

Offset: 000200c5

 

This use to work, the only change I can think of was an upgrade to windows media player.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I am still unfortunate and have analog cable.

 

Your pointer made me try this.

I have the same episode recorded three times.

I was able to convert the first one... and the second one caused me to request help from the community.

I just tried the third one with no problem.

 

So there is something in the second episode causing the message. I will transfer it to DVD as is.

And write it off as a glitch.

 

Thanks Paul.

I don't know how I helped but thanks.

Wonder what that glitch was?????

How's this for a laugh.

 

I renamed the dvr-ms file to a mpg.

And then imported it no problem!

Didn't think that would work as I assumed it was a proprietary mpeg file. Nice going.

I am having similar trouble. Anytime I try to transcode it crashes. I do have IE7 and WMP11 installed, I will remover those tonight and try again.

 

My machine locks up and requires a reboot. Is your doing the same?

[maestro]

Umh... to quick to conclude.

 

I had imported it and it was okay.

Now I tried to listen and edit, I have no sound.

 

So back to square one.

Media Player 11 causes all kinds of problem with more than just EMC9. Just read the net - IE 7 and WMP11. Remove both.

Thanks Gary.

 

I haven't yet installed IE 7 nor do I plan to. But I removed Windows Media Player 11.

Rebooted and tried to do as I originally set out to do (Post 1).

 

Now I get a crash but with a message.

 

Unable to open file for transcoding. You may not have permission to copy this file.

 

Once more any suggestions would be appreciated.

That message seems like a broadcast flag message. I've gotten that when trying to work on certain files when recorded from digital cable.
