Emc-10 Crashes When Burning Dvd -- Shoving Unspecified Error [0x80004005]

[siggej]

I bought and installed Roxio Easy Media Creator-10 on my very new Dell Studio-17 with everything MAXIMUM – just so no one think the PC is outdated in any form.

Hello all Wizards, Experts and Gurus

 

I purchased REM-10 to be able to put together a lot of flv- & wmv-films and make DVD-films of them. It worked grate in the start made about 20-30 long dvd-s.

Then suddenly out of nowhere REMC-10 gave me “the finger” and showed the sign >Unspecified Error [0x80004005]<. After that it was impossible to burn any dvd-s.

I searched for viruses and all other pc-terrorist-prgrms with all imaginable prgrms and experts -- but my pc was (and is) clean as Cosmos.

Then I discovered that if I FIRST checked the alternative >Save disc image file< and afterwards burned a DVD-copy of that image-file, it worked just fine. And so it did about 20-30 dvd-s.

Then gues what happened?! Right…. REMC-10 gave me “the finger” and shoved the sign >Unspecified Error [0x80004005]< --- AGAIN!!!

After that it is impossible to burn Video-Dvd-s.

I have also reinstalled the whole prgrm – didn’t make any difference….

 

No help what so ever from Roxio – I feel ripped off.

Do you all Wizards, Experts and Gurus out there have any working solutions?

 

Or shall I buy Nero instead?

Ifr you search the board you will find that particular error is mainly graphics related.

 

Try updating your drivers (don't use the ones on the Dell site) but go to Intel instead, (or ATI if you have the high end version) and also get the latest DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft

 

With the Intel graphics it's almost certain that they aren't powerful enough for rendering, so, in Videowave, go to tools, options and change that to software rendering

Have you defragged your hard drive lately? Cleaned out the proxy files?

How long are the videos (in time) that you are trying to burn to DVD?

Thanks for Your reply MyGuggi

 

>Have you defragged your hard drive lately? < It is a 500GB-disc and new and almost empty.

>Cleaned out the proxy files?< What is “proxy files”? I am only a pc-user -- what’s hiding under the hood is a mystery to me…. ;-)

> How long are the videos (in time) that you are trying to burn to DVD?< Everything from 5 to 60 minutes.

As already said -- I have made quite a lot of dvd-moves without any prblms -- until suddenly....

 

2 Questions:

Where on my HD do these “proxy files” hide?

and

How do I erase them?
