Cannot Complete Encoding Of Dvd

[mrjcjones]

On my Dell Dimension 8400, P4 3.0GHz 1Gb RAM, I can fully encode a DVD burn to disc. However, on my notebook, Dell Inspiron 51M, Celeron M 1.3GHz 512Kb RAM, the encoding gets as far as encoding the Menu then stops. The video project is the same in both cases. The Roxio software is the same.

 

Can anyone suggest a solution for this, please?

The laptop does not meet the minimum specs for video work. You can try updating the video chips, adding more memory, and anything else you can think of to make that laptop more video friendly but I doubt if you would be able to do much with it.

On most Celerons, I wouldn't want to try to encode anything. They just don't have the firepower. Some of the units I see now seem to be a little better suited to it but if I was doing any video work, a Celeron wouldn't be in my top 50 choices.
