Hi this might be a silly question, but my sister is going to Rwanda for a year and is only taking a netbook, she was wanting to play the complete project of her daughters wedding with menus, either from her hard drive or carry it on a memory stick to show others.

There only seeems to be an option to create DVD's in Architect!

Anyone help please - she leaves on Tuesday???

Cheers Roy

If you use DVDA's Prepare function to create a folder containing all the files that would normally be burnt to a DVD, most PC-based, such as VLC or Nero players will play it with menus.

Cheers - never thought of that - just started to burn to disk - it was a few minutes into the render, cancelled to burn to folder - 45 mins later its still 'cancelling'.

If i do a forced reboot - will it damage my files and the work i've done?

No. You'll just have to re-start the rendering process.

Used task master to stop the process ..... and tried to render to disk - its gets 3 secs in and states there is an error - file is an unsupported format!!

This the same whether i render to disk or folder - it had been about 5 minutes in the render when I cancelled it previously.

I'm uninstalling and re-installing - see if that works - any suggestions otherwise? I was using the Build 150 for Architect Studio 5

Any suggestions if that doesn't work?

Thumb drives are normally formatted as an FAT partition, not NTFS. This could be your problem.

I've never tried it, but you may be able to format the thumb drive in NTFS.

If you stopped in mid-prepare, DELETE the partially prepared folder and start again.

The file system of a thumb drive is not an issue for storing and playing a conventionally prepared DVD.
No single VOB file exceeds 1GB.
