Problem making Blue-ray ISO in VP15

Former user wrote on 9/9/2017, 7:09 AM

I cannot make any ISO Blue-ray images in VP15. I checked in VP14 in case it was say a windows change, but VP14 is still AOK for this. I normally go to tools and select make image, not burn, which I do later.

It appears to be a new issue in VP15, VP14 is ok.

You are currently logged on to this computer without system administrator privileges. Some features of this program may not be available to you.

For both VP14 and VP15 I always get this message first even though I am logged on as Admin. It doesn't make any difference to making an image in VP14, just a little annoying. Its probably not related to the main issue and error messages I've listed below.

These are the error messages I get when attempting to create the image in VP15 ...

Filename:
Status: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.

An error occured preparing the image
Status: Found two different objects associated with the same URI, '/126a339a_72a4_48ef_a343_ad8f1b36f5f8/Callback'.

Perhaps someone might check if they have a similar issue, just select a small region, thanks

I tried disabling the so4 ... dll but it made no difference, got another error message, goes away very fast, I think it says BDMUXSERVER not available.

Can you not render BD files/fileset in Vegas; pass through to DVDA and produce .iso from within DVDA.

Former user wrote on 9/9/2017, 12:17 PM

I havent tried it, I had already thought of that as a fallback, I have always made BD discs by creating .iso files first, using chapter markers to skip through without a menu. For DVD'S I occasionally go the longer route through DVDA and create a menu. For my workflow, I don't need a menu for BD discs, a few chapters suffice, so I miss this feature. Thanks for the suggestion, it's the only workaround until they fix it.

I can't use VP14 because the .veg isn't backwards compatible. The price of operating at the bleeding edge of tech😫

I hadn't realised that an .iso could be rendered straight out of VP. Thanks for the heads up. Must read the manual. I always work with a menu, preview and test in DVDA before making a .iso which is then burnt with ImgBurn. Tend to use VP13 & Edius 8WG

"I hadn't realised that an .iso could be rendered straight out of VP. "

diverG, thats for Blue-ray images only, would suit me if it was also possible for DVD'S directly.

As it is when making DVD's I still prefer to elect to create the .iso image writer option in vp and then burn the image using say nero or windows, Nero burns the discs faster, selects a higher write speed than vp, the writer needs to be up to it though. They may not last as long but I always select to verify.

Just used VP14 to produce a test BD.iso. Confirm there is no such option with DVD. Just a straight burn to DVD.

Have you opened the Vegas icon and checked run as administrator. This removed the error message regarding admin rights.

Former user wrote on 9/9/2017, 5:28 PM

diverG, you're a genius! I never knew that, thanks. Its the Vegas program icon, right click, select more, run as admin. same for other programs. So although I had my user account as admin, the programs in Win 10 don't run as admin unless selected? weird.

I believe Vegasaur has such a feature, ISO file from timeline for DVD.

Former user wrote on 9/9/2017, 5:47 PM

That would be nice. I understand that Vegasaur isnt sorted, purchasing wise etc since Magix took over. I'd get it for just that.

Not sure what you mean. Vegasaur is a separate extension to Vegas Pro, has nothing to do with Magix.

I'm not surprised your confused Oldsmoke, because i'm relatively new to Vegas I mixed up Vegasaur with John Rofranos utils. and this post. I'm getting too old for all this😀

Do you know if it's compatible with VP15?

Former user wrote on 9/13/2017, 3:29 AM

I got this back and did as requested, it made no difference.

I emailed them that it changed nothing, they closed the ticket.

"Hello

Thank you for your message.

Lets have you install the application to the hidden administrator profile for troubleshooting purposes.

Windows comes with a hidden administrator account which must first be enabled. To do so:
1. Type "Command Prompt" into Windows search or Cortana
2. right-click on the Command Prompt result that appears and choose "Run as administrator"
3. After the command prompt opens, type: net user administrator /active:yes
4. Double check to make sure the command is entered correctly and hit Enter on your keyboard.
5. After running this command, the prompt will respond with: command completed successfully
6. Switch to the administrator account by clicking control+alt+delete, then click switch user, and choose Administrator.
7. Install and activate your VEGAS application onto this profile."

I really wonder what the value is in even opening a support ticket at all.

diverG wrote on 9/13/2017, 4:20 AM

The instructions are quite clear. However; on my machine right-click on Command Prompt does not offer option to 'run as administrator'. Try going down to Widows System->Command Prompt. Now right-click ->more. Select 'Run as administrator. This opens the DOS window.

You are not too old, just stressed.

80 next birthday.

Former user wrote on 9/13/2017, 6:27 AM

Stressed for sure. Anyway, the broken Blue-ray iso creation issue is dead as far as Magix support is concerned. Sorry that I even bothered, certainly first and last time.

OldSmoke wrote on 9/14/2017, 4:24 PM

Actually I have the same issue. Not that I use that feature at all but it does produce the exact same error; and yes it works in VP14. Let me know if more information is needed.

OldSmoke wrote on 9/14/2017, 4:37 PM

Here is a little bit more. If you have VP14, rename the folder C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 15.0\bdmux to something like bdmux-vp15. Copy the same folder from VP14 over to VP15. The "you are not logged in as administrator" message will still appear unless you specifically run VP15 as administrator but the BD render will complete without error.

diverG wrote on 9/15/2017, 7:39 AM

Thanks, nice one. Begs the question why the beta testers did not find this bug.

Thanks for the feedback, your Comments were helpful in resolving this. We are able to repro this in-house and have a fix that will be in a future update.

In the meantime, OldSmoke's work around is the recommended route for current VP14 users:

"If you have VP14, rename the folder C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 15.0\bdmux to something like bdmux-vp15. Copy the same folder from VP14 over to VP15. The "you are not logged in as administrator" message will still appear unless you specifically run VP15 as administrator but the BD render will complete without error."

I am glad to help. One bug down, xxx to go? Anyways, I think that should be made a sticky?

Is there any update on the Defocus and Starburst FXs that will crash VP when an AMD card is used for timeline acceleration?

"and have a fix ... future update " excellent Dee.

Oldsmoke, outstanding. I just tried it and it works aok, thanks.
