grandpabruce Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 In addition to what Daithi said, after you click on the DirectX tab, click on the Date tab. The newest updates will be shown at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpabruce Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What kinds of details are you looking for? There are 30+ programs in the suite. You gave no information on what program you were using. Do you think folks are mind readers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyqueue Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes, those are the three options I tried last night. OK, I went to my video card's website and updated the drivers. I was able to burn to an .iso file. Then I right-clicked the .iso file and chose Burn Using Creator. Everything seemed to be going smoothly except when the program reaches 69% burned -- then it freezes. In Task Manager it's listed as Not Responding. It's done this twice now. No, I don't know what software rendering is. So now the .iso isn't a problem but the actual burning is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbyqueue Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, I think I was watching the clip. I clicked on it, and it played 20 seconds... I didn't realize you had to click again. The .iso file plays the entire show, so we're good there. Where would I find my version of DirectX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbyqueue Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes I have. My error wasn't "freezing" or anything. It wasn't stuck at 0%. It simply attempted to burn and almost immediately gave me the error. My video card is NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply attempted to burn and almost immediately gave me the error. My video card is NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. That's a pretty old card by today's standards. Have you updated the drivers for it, and have you tried software render and burning to an image (.iso) file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 OK, I downloaded VLC and used it to play the .iso file that I burned. It played, and I could click on the menus and all that, but when it played the episodes, it only played the first 20 seconds that were recorded, and then looped it continuously. Don't know what that means, but there it is. No error messages, just hanging. I'm running nothing else but Firefox. I was watching CPU usage and it didn't seem to jump or anything before it hung. I'm using Maxell discs. It seems silly to have to buy discs online in order to successfully burn with this program; don't know if it's worth all that. WinXP Pro, 2GHz processor, 2GB RAM. I think it's choosing 12x for a burn speed -- it doesn't give me an option. When I right-click the .iso file and click Burn with Creator, it opens Creator and I can click Burn -- then it starts. When I went to choose "Software," yes, something had already defaulted to that. Although the Maxell DVDs are bottom of the barrel quality, get some Verbatims. The program does not care what DVD make you use, its your burner that will have problems with certain makes as well as your DVD player. Your problem is still in creating the iso file. Do you mean that when you select a video from the menu, the clip plays only for 20 seconds? If yes then there is something wrong with your project or the actual video clips you are using. Are you also running the latest version of DirectX 9c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
