Hi,
I've been getting an error message while trying to prepare my project in DVDA 4.5d (Build 107):
"Warning: An error occurred while writing a file.
The reason for the error could not be determined."
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my duedate was supposed to be today and after 16 hours of trying things, I'm running out of ideas.
Relevant Background info:
I have been making a series of lecture DVDs and am currently on my 17th class DVD. I have been capturing and editing DV video through firewire using Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0 and using DVD Arichitect 4.5 that came with it to author DVDs and preparing them to a harddrive folder (rendering to DVDA spec MPEG-2 & AC3 to avoid recompression). As the classes can be quite long (3+ hrs), I've been making oversized DVD files with DVDA and recoding them down to DVD-5 size with Nero Recode and using Nero Express to burn. This process has worked fine for the last 16 DVDs I've made.
However, when going through my usual process on Class 17, when I was preparing the DVD files with DVD architect, it stopped before it finished processing and I got the error mentioned above.
I've unsuccessfully tried the following things (I keep getting the same error message):
*Remaking the entire menu from scratch.
*Re-rendering the entire video in Vegas Movie Studio and remaking the menu from scratch.
*Taking the files to another computer that has the same version/builds of Vegas/Architect (successfully used 2nd computer for many of the previous classes. It is Vista 32-bit) and attempting to prepare in DVDA.
*Moving files to different hard drive on 2nd computer and attempting to prepare in DVDA.
*Tried going back and preparing class 16 again with DVDA to see if it would produce same error but 16 worked fine and 17 still doesn't work.
Thoughts:
*DVD capacity reports at 215% for DVD-5. Although I've successfully made larger ones with architect (4:34:03 was the longest), they had two seperate videos instead of one long one (this one is 3:28:53).
*I just started capturing DV live onto computer (instead of playing tape back later) at class 16. Class 16 worked fine but was a shorter continuous video clip than 17.
*Going to try splitting the video into two shorter videos at the break in the lecture and see if this works. If not, maybe I'll try putting each half on a different DVD.
Is this a bug with DVDA? or is there anything else I can do? or is there a fix to download?
Thanks for taking the time,
Ryan
