Emc 10 Encoding And Burning Problems

[mmattia]

Anyone have any ideas on the best fix...

 

I have used Roxio EMC through a few upgrades. Currently using EMC 10 on a Dell. When a video/picture compilation gets past 3 or 4 minutes long, I was unable to burn a disc from VideoWave. I started using different workarounds to try burn a 24 minute video/picture show. Each of my attempts started to work and ending up failing: I was able to first burn an ISO file, then burn to disc, but that stopped working. I read a bunch of posts and tried all the fixes I could find (disabling start-up, disconnecting from internet, opening MyDVD directly then importing the videowave file, cutting the show up into smaller portions and burning each to an ISO, then converting each to MPeg 2, putting the 5 Mpeg 2 files back into VideoWave and burning an ISO again.) As the last couple of days have gone on, I keep getting a stumbling block along the way. First dropped pictures from the ISO burn, now after burning the mpegs together, I am able to preview the ISO file of what looks and sounds like a good show, but when I play it on my DVD player I have numerous audio blips at the beginning and end of segment music transitions within the show.

 

Should I try re-install EMC 10 (using the directions posted) or does that pose too many problems, also?

Sounds like you have some hardware problems and some software misconceptions.

 

Did someone really say to make an ISO file and then extract the individual movies and then convert them again? Or am I reading that wrong !

 

Make your project in Video Wave. Once it is done, output the project to a file -- mpg2 for DVD, best quality. Watch the encoding. If there is a problem with the project, encoding will stop. Note the time and go back and fix whatever is going on at that time. The output icon is the film reel icon above the Video Wave preview window.

 

If the project(s) encode(s), simply add those mpg files to the menu in My DVD and burn to the ISO file.

 

Download and install VLC. It is a player program that will play those ISO files on your computer before you burn them to a disc. If VLC plays them correctly and you copy them to a disc, and they don't play well then there is another problem.

 

Make sure when you are working with the files that you are not running anything else like the internet, anti-Mal ware or anti-virus. Get rid of the junk on your computer (CCleaner is an excellent free program). Auslogic defragmenter is free and very fast.

 

Use high quality discs no Maxell and no store brands. Blow out your DVD player with compressed gas that you buy in a pressured can. Be carefully with your eyes, you never know what is inside that player.

Also.... have you tried switching from Hardware render to Software Render?
