MyDVD Hangs at 4% on Burn Project

[Robbie99]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to burn a project from VideoWave using MyDVD. It gets to the 'Burn Project' step but stalls at 4% (Overall progress and Current task: Encoding Movie both at 4%). I've left it for hours (thinking the % complete might have a problem) but it doesn't complete.

The CPU usage is close to 0 so it seems that the program isn't doing anything - it just hangs.

There are no error messages.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Rob

Can you reply with some details of your system - CPU speed, graphics card and RAM?

 

Also, if you ran the graphics test under Tools, Options in MyDVD?

This has worked for some people; uncheck the normalize audio button in project settings in MyDVD. Why?????

I tried running graphics test as you suggested (hardware and software). In both cases, it shows a black rectangle moving in and out with some other stats being shown. It doesn't report any errors and seems to terminate cleanly. How do I know if the test was successful or not?

 

It's a fairly recent computer, put together by a local retailer. System profile:

 

AMD A64 3800+

ASUS SOCKET 939 NFORCE4 SLI MB

Kingston 1GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT 256MB

Seagate Barracuda 7200 250GB hard drive

LG GSA H10A DVD+-RW Dual Layer

Hauppauge 150 WinTV PVR

Windows XP MCE

 

For unrelated reasons, I recently reinstalled XP MCE with all latest drivers. dxdiag shows DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) - believe this to be up to date (I mention this since I saw reference to it on another post).

Note that I purchased and installed EMC 9.0 after this reinstall - I've never owned EMC before and have not been successful at burning a DVD from EMC (this is my first attempt). The video was an MCE TV capture edited via VideoWave (removed commercials from a TV program).

nVidia just released new drivers the other day and the latest DirectX update was Jul 10 2007. Both have to be done manually. Microsoft update does NOT update DirectX. I don't have that link on this computer, but easy to find at Microsoft's download center.
