Data Fork, -39 Hell!

[datafork -39]

I am getting an error burning some video files.

as disc is about to finish burning i get the following error:

 

The File "VTS_01_4.VOB" could not be accessed (Data fork, -39).

 

 

Details:

 

I am burning a video to a dvd, as i have done about 6 of these sessions

before with no problem I assuming this has got to be a recent problem that has just emerged.

 

I have read some posts similar to this one and i have noticed there has been no answers to this problem.

It would be great if someone out there could get back to me as it'd be great for this software to do what its supposed to.

 

thanks,

Is your source video a VIDEO_TS folder or is Toast referring to the one it creates invisibly during the encoding stage? What settings are you using in Toast and what is the source video format? Have you tried choosing Save as Disc Image to see if that error still appears?

DG,

 

Thanks for asking.

 

My source video is actually EyeTv files which are encoded in the burning process.

Approx: Size of file is 7 GB to a 4.7 GB DVD+R. (i am currently doing a 3GB video to see if the file size matters)

 

I am making a DVD with a Menu in toast and my settings are set to automatic.

The only thing I changed was "eject disc" when done and unchecked verify.

 

I have not tried "Save as Disc Image".

 

I clearly don't know what to do.....any other suggestions?

Whenever I've had trouble with EyeTV files I go back to EyeTV and export the video as a MPEG elementary stream. Then I drag the .m2v file that was exported to Toast (it automatically adds the matching audio file). Give that a try.

 

By the way, when you are adding EyeTV files are you using the Toast export from within EyeTV or are you using the EyeTV import via the Toast Media Browser?

Such frustration, I don't see why this is happening, as i said before i have not had any trouble with this until now.

weird.

 

I am going straight from EyeTv recordings to toast.

 

I am still waiting on the most recent disc am testing, but

I shall try what you suggested if this doesn't work, will the quality of the video change if I do what you are suggesting?

 

thanks again,

 

Luis

The export does not change the video or audio in any way. It just removes the EyeTV wrapper and demuxes the video and audio into separate files (streams). Demuxing is a necessary step in any case so you're just giving Toast a helping hand.

my test failed!

 

 

Next, I am now testing your suggestion.

We shall know what happens soon.

 

thanks again.

tried it your way and it worked!

 

strange that i'll have to do this everytime, but i suppose at least it worked

even if it takes a few more steps.

 

thanks DG! this was very helpful!
