Videowave 9 Hangs when endering

[Eric Shine]

I'm trying to split a 30 min video into parts so I can upload to YouTube. The video is on an external hard drive and is an mpeg. I added it to Videowave by clicking Add Photo/Video.

 

I split the video into 7 parts. I tried to Output As/Render the video into a smaller format, Sony PSP AVC/AAC 320x240 Fast. The total duration is 30 min, 16 sec, 26 frames. It hangs at 99% complete. It reads Completed is 30 min, 16 sec, 25 frames - 99%.

 

I have tried this with several of the formats in the drop down box. Some go to 99% and then hang. Others barely even start before they hang. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to load the second CD that came with my EMC9?

 

The first pc I tried this on was my older pc with an FX5200 in it. I then loaded EMC9 on my new pc with an 8800 640 Mb card...same problem. Drivers are up to date. Does anyone know what is up? Is there another program I can use to do what I want to do? Please advise. Thanks, Eric.

Try Buzz lite while we try to figure out your problem. Don't buy the $20 version, you already have the codecs.

 

Since you want to split the original video into 7 parts; you seem to want to do that but I'm not sure about what you are doing. Open Video Wave and select Add photo/video. Navigate to the video and right click. Use the option to select scenes to split the video where you want to; either automatically or manually.

You will see scenes in the right windows. Select one (or more) and drag it down or add it to video wave. Now output that one scene as a file. The format choice is whatever the on-line sharing program will take. Repeat as necessary.

 

Make sure that you have selected software encoding by going to the top menu in Video Wave and selecting tool/options/ put a dot in the software circle.

 

After you have done one, go back to the original file and you'll notice a little down arrow near the bottom of the thumbnail (not the horizontal one), Click on that and the scenes will be displayed; just continue to select until you have done them all.

 

This does not trouble shoot your problem but it does give you a work around. Your original problem may come from disc space, bad video file, or hundreds of other type issues.

 

If you can't do any of the above, the original video file may be the problem. Please come back and let us know how you do.

 

That second disc is all the bells and whistles - more video transitions, photo project templates, My DVD menus, etc. There should be no opertaing programs on it. Is is not required to be loaded so that the program works.
