I'm getting fatal errors during the PREPARATION phase of DVDA (DVDA 2a, to be specific), using DVD-A-format mpg and .ac3 files rendered by Vegas5.0b. This is a new one on me... I've successfully done quite a few projects in Vegas4 in the past. The only variable I can think of, is that I recently updated to release 5.0b of Vegas. (Not every rendered project fails... but 2 out of 3 have, over the past 2 days.)
While Preparing the DVD files, DVDA produces this not-helpful message during the preparation of the last object:
-------------
Warning: An error occurred while writing a file.
The reason for the error could not be determined.
-----------
I downloaded a demo version of a competitor's DVD package, and it blows up, too, when trying to handle the files that cause DVD-A to blow up.
This happened on my last TWO projects (each is over an hour long, but the MPG plus AC3 files don't come even close to exceeding the 4+ gigabytes max).
I completely re-rendered the first -project in Vegas, TWICE (a long, long waste of time), and the second render failed again in DVDA but the third render finally worked OK in DVDA.
A project I (thought I had) finished yesterday failed today in DVDA, the same way -- "Prepares" for a few minutes, then blows up.
All 3 of my disks are NTFS format, and each has over 50Gigs of available space.
I'm currently re-rendering my latest project in Vegas, but this SURE IS frustrating!
If I later determine the problem is caused by something other than Vegas, I'll re-post, but right now the 5.0a-5.0b upgrade, followed by file failures, makes me very suspicious.
