"error While Writing Format"

[Chuck O]

At the end of a DVD burning project I got the error description "Project Build to Device()Authorscript call failed. Error while writing format".

I don't know what that means or what to do at this point and would appreciate any suggestions.

 

I'm using Windows XP with latest directX drivers, Athlon dual processor, 3mb memory. Updated firmware on Plextor 716A DVD burner.

 

The video was captured and imported from a Canon HF-20 Hi-def camcorder and archived on the computer in AVCHD format. photos were JPG files on computor. I had previously burned a couple of short 4 to 5 minute hi-def DVD's which played back fine on my Blu-ray player but this was my first big project...about 30 minutes total production time. The encoding was extremely slow...started the burning process at 8pm and 12 hours later it was still only 75% completed but I thought that maybe it was because this was alot of hi-def video but when I looked again about 30 minutes later it said project complete but with the error message.

There are no Roxio techs here. We are all users except for one or two people who show up infrequently. You'll know then because of their names. You can call Roxio, live chat or start a trouble ticket.

 

Did you follow the process outlined in the link?

I don`t know if tis will help, but I had a format writing error with Creator 2010 MYDVD as well.

 

It turned out it was the on-board menus Roxio provided.When I replaced the menus with jpeg photos from my computer,the process ran off and completed without a hitch.
