I've had this very frustrating issue with DVDA 7 Build 54 where I'm trying to make a compilation disc of many BD compatible files on to one SLBD, I'll drag the .avc file from my other drive to the menu and DVDA "opens media" and parses it fine for the first couple of files I drag over onto the menu and the thumbnails show but when I'm at ~7+ files (number varies from ~7-10 from where this issue starts) on one menu everything will be fine until that one file has the "opening media" percent freeze at anywhere from 40%-100% the bottom left. The program then becomes unresponsive and can only be stopped with task manager. I have left the PC there for hours to see if it's some kind of processing it's doing to no avail (task manager says 0% CPU usage) but if I go to the file's directory and delete the "[filenamehere].sfvx" file (and others) that DVDA creates and restart DVDA and try to add it again, I may get a different percentage it freezes on. Some times it doesn't parse it at all, doesn't create another .sfvx file and has "render failed" in the thumbnail with a red circle with a X in it in each corner.
The DVDA project file then seems to become corrupted after the first instance of this issue as I can not add almost any other files as they all cause the "opening media" percentage to freeze at some point when dragging it in. After this first happens on one project file I can sometimes not open the project file on DVDA and it freezes when "opening media files" and becomes unresponsive every time. If I delete all the temporary files (example "[filenamehere].sfvx") from the media directory and attempt to reopen the project file it parses all of the files again and creates the temporary files (.sfvx) when first opening and very rarely opens correctly with 90% of the time freezing on "opening media".
Troubleshooting steps taken:
- new projects
- moving all project files to C:\ and other drives
- splitting these files to 2 menus instead of all of them on one page
- deleting all generated temporary files in the media directory (helps to sometimes have the program reparse media files and maybe load in but it will never allow another file to be added)
- enabling/disabling "media goes offline on loss of focus" in Options > Preferences > General
- moving all project media to another drive (SSD, SSHD or a USB SATA3 HDD drive), and replacing the media files with themselves via the search and replace feature (for missing files)
- changing the filenames of the media files and replacing the media files with those renamed files via the search and replace feature (for missing files)
- instead of dragging files to enter them I have tried right-clicking "MENU-1 (PAGE 1)" > Insert > Media > AVC media files
- uninstalling program, restarting and reinstalling program
Odd occurrences:
- I made a theme with a JPG background from my desktop and when I apply that theme, the thumbnail names in the open project change to that theme's filenames
- I have 2 instances of the (seemingly) same default theme "Movie 1" (the thumbnails looks like 35mm film)
