Comedy of errors part #2

Still worse, DVDA is flaging ALL the video project files appearing under a sub menu. Each sub menu video has a yellow warning flag, yet the source file from which the sub menu is made has a green check mark.

That's sounds like more stupid programming blunders. If the source file is compliant and is accepted by DVDA how does the SAME file under a sub menu pages become none compliant?

Well guess what. To fix another problem the video not returning to the sub menu page as it should I trimmed off one second from each video shown on a sub menu. I'm guessing that somehow renders the file as invalid or DVDA is dumb enough to think so.

This is beyond ridiculous. Am I the first to actually push DVDA making a fairly complex porject exposing all these stupid errors? Hard to accept that. Sure seems SoFo either did next to no testing or only simplistic testing leaving real testing to their custoemrs to find these boneheaded programming blunders.

Hey, put me on the payroll! <wink>

This is a forum not a place for crying grow up billyboy. None of these programs are intended to produce hollywood movies. I would not blame Vegas if they banned you from the boards. If I had the money I would buy this back from you and give you a Pinnacle product that may or may not work that has been out over a year. We all appreciate constructive critic's and accurate problem descriptions but we do not appreciate whining. From reading your posts I would bet you are not old enough to drive a car and when you do drive I hope you do not express the same spoiled angry attitude if you do you are going to be in trouble.

If you don't like my posts make use of the ignore user feature. I have every right to be critical of a very sloppy application. I'm fair. As anyone knows I've posted hundreds of answers in the Vegas forum and provided tutorials many have said they fine useful. Vegas is a wonderful application. I've said so countless times.

DVDA isn't. Yet. I hope some day it will be.

However to have dumped this clearly not ready application on loyal Vegas users is sure to cause some anger. I wasted a LOT of time already fooling around with this application and the more I use it the more bugs I fine. If the truth rubs some SoFo apologists like you the wrong way that's your problem. I'm fair and objective. Try it some time.

I agree with Bear, If you don't like it - don't use it, use Ulead that you praised.

About your issue - Menus are Always rendered as they have the buttons, text and audio added to the video. This was already discussed in this forum - maybe you should read previous issues before complaining.

Also, I sugest you try a small burn of FEW videos and see the result after the burn, you might be suprised.

The manual says you MUST resolve all WARNINGS. How can I burn a DVD that DVDA claims is loaded with errors, which is why it throws warning messages.

Have you done so? Then explain how.

The manual says - Warning messages will still produce valid DVD, Error messages must be resolved.
The Yellow indications are Warnings - so you can ignore them - dvda will render/recompress etc. and will create a valid dvd.
Just press the FINISH button.
