SS Scott Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 what are your source files and what are their sizes? right click on the files in the media portion of the palette and select properties. sounds like the application is trying to do the transcode and it is not working...

Sizu Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes I did try creating an image file as well, and I get the same error. Two files: Video: file type Video and Audio (MPEG-2:AC3) file size 4.3 GB bit rate 4965.2 kbps Audio: file type Audio (AC3) file size 21.5 MB bit rate 5135.9 kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Scott Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 where did this video come from? what is in your menus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizu Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 The video is a recording from a VCR tape which is now on a DVD. I wanted to use the video and create nice menus to go along with it. The title menu contains a custom background picture with the audio file playing in the back. The chapter menu is a motion menu which displays the videos from each chapter. I tested out a small file with no motion menus and no background music, and it was successful. Then I tested with the small clip, but with motion menus and background music, and it gave me the same error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Scott Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 so how did you get the video off of the DVD? did you demux it and feed the program m2v files or did you rename a VOB or is this DVD-VR from a set top DVD recorder? try the whole thing without motion thumbs on the chapter menu.

Sizu Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I used NeroVision. It lets me take any video files out of a DVD-R and then export it as a .mpg file. I'll try to burn it without the motion menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizu Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 It works just fine without the motion menu. So basically, there is no way to burn my project with motion menus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizu Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I just did another test. I used the motion menu, but I set the highlight button setting (forgot what it was called) to None instead of Button subpicture layer (I think that's what it's called). I am able to burn, but there is no way to tell which chapter is highlighted in the chapter menu. EDIT: I just turned on the button subpicture layer, and the project works. I'm not sure, but the problem may be the transcoding. With these recent tests, the setting was on high quality CBR. When the problem came up in the beginning, the setting was on low quality VBR. EDIT 2: Yep. It's definitely a problem with the VBR setting. I set it to CBR, and everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomInIowa Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 did you try burning it to a image file instead of a disc? If it can't create the image file, then it probably doesn't have anything to do with the disc burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internal software error: \build\DVDit_apprel63\Code\DVDit_App\DVDCreator\SWVideoCodec\libraries\M2VFrameEncoder.cpp, line 165 -2
Illegal mode and size for DVD.
What does that mean? The remaining space left in my project is nearly 600 MB.
