Creating a DvD

[skelator88]

Hello everyone I hope someone can help.

 

Here is what I'm trying to do. I work for my local GameStop store and when I had version 7 I created DvDs for the store with the latest video game trailers to show to customers. I have upgraded to version 8 and now I can't get it to work. I usually go to a couple of websites and download the trailers in WMV format. I then open up the DvD creator and click on add a movie file. First problem is that if I hold down CTRL and choose several movies it won't add them all at once I have to choose them 1 at a time, but that can wait. After picking the movies 1 at a time I can preview the disk and it looks fine, but when I try to burn the DvD I get an error message about encoding 80040227. I've updated to the latest software version, firmware and even reinstalled my DvD burner. No luck. I can create slideshow DvD's on this PC just fine. After the encoding error if I attempt to create another DvD project with the videos videowave 8 crashes the roxio application, and sometimes when I'm adding the videos 1 at a time videowave 8 crashes the application at random times. What else can I check.

 

thanks in advance.

You could try burning to an image file (ISO) first, then to a DVD with Disc Copier. This usually works better than burning directly to a disc.
