VideoWave Encoding problem

[Edh]

I have the same problem. If I don't edit a video file it will render ok and burn to DVD fine. If I edit, the hard drive grinds more with each change and if then I attempt to burn, the program freezes during transcoding. Same problem if I attempt to output to MPEG 2 or any other available format. No anti virus is operating, Intel dual core processor, 1.5GB ram, Nvidia 6200SE, over 200GB of HD available and defraged. I have to end the halted process with Windows task manager.

 

All other programs operate on this HP Media Center 920 computer very well! Creater 8 did the same problem. Look like another waste of time and money to have purchased version 9. I wonder if Roxio tests anything.

It sounds like it could be a problem with your video card. Have you got the latest drivers? If you had the same problems with EMC 8, why did you purchase EMC 9?

Sounds like you have the computer to do the job and I'm sure you updated the video card drivers and DirectX 9c. You are using the right program; VideoWave. If you open VideoWave, go to the top menu and select tools, options and then run the test, where is the dot after the test - near hardware or software?

 

What type of editing are you doing? Cutting out sections, adding music, adding transitions or effects, using overlays? What happens when you tried to output that file to a mpg2 file for DVD best quality? What error message appears or does it just stop? Note the time and see if you have something starting about that time in your project. A lot of times there is bad transition timing or try to use a music cut that is DRM protected like piece of music from an on-line store.

 

Have you tried to create a short slide show and output that -no on-line music and just the minimal transitions.. If that works, then I would suspect EMC 9 is not happy with something that is being added to the project

 

The fact that both V8 and V9 give the same problem, I wonder if you have a conflict with another program on your computer? What anti-virus do you use? Do you have any other video processing program? How about some non-standard programs like Window Blinds. I'm sure you have checked your computer for malware with more than one program so that wouldn't be an issue.
