Ran into a problem I've never had before with DVDA about 2AM this morning. It was an SD project with DV source files (it was late and this was a comp project) so I thought I'd let DVDA convert the .avis for me. After working on the project for awhile, my in-menu thumbnails disappeared and instead the words 'render failure' appeared. I went ahead and finished the DVD and did a build and burn and all the video was black on the DVD - it did have audio though. So I converted all the .avis in vegas to mpeg2/.ac3 and replaced everything in DVDA and it worked fine.

I don't usually let DVDA do the encoding but I also don't remember this happening before in older versions.
