DVDA error: The selected path is not valid

DVD Architect is giving this error message "The selected path is not valid. It contains files or folders other than VIDEO_TS or AUDIO_TS" when trying to Make DVD.

1. The Make DVD - Select folder "Prepare folder" is set to a default hard drive. I do not see where to change this setting.(?)

2. After clicking "Browse.." and selecting a larger hard drive, free storage space in selected folder reads 66,746.1 Megabytes. Clicking Next produces the above error message.

You have to tell DVDA to prepare to an empty FOLDER - not a root directory. The ONLY things in that folder will be Video_TS and Audio_TS. When you choose to prepare, the directory is listed with an option to change that directory. Same thing if you choose to only burn.

Weirdness... Thanks, I finally got it to work! I created a new empty directory and it worked. I could swear I've been burning movies using this directory before which included a few rendered mpgs, but it would always give a different message asking me if wanted to create a new "My DVD" directory and delete the existing... Oh, but I deleted "My DVD" first!

Live and learn :)
