I had the exact same problem, (using 1.0c, I might add). I posted here on this forum about a week ago. I didn't receive any help, I'm afraid. However, I eventually tracked it down to one MPEG file that DVD-A for some reason didn't like. It would create the VOB files, and do all the preparation, and then just before it was ready to start burning, I'd get this message. Also, it would delete the entire directory where the VOB and IFO files had been created (not just the contents, but the directory itself as well).

I re-created the MPEG file, and the error message went away. I still to this moment do not know what was wrong with the MPEG file (it played fine in my computer's DVD player).

Thus, my advice is to re-create the MPEG file (if you can isolate it to one file). I suspect that DVD-A is not handling some anomaly that must not happen too frequently -- but does happen (since you seem to have the same problem I had).

I'm getting the same error message all of a sudden. It happens in the DVD prep just as it reaches the second to last "object" preparation. I've been using the product for about a year now and this error has never happened nor has anyone posted a question with message like this. I'm going to guess that some new MS patch is contributing to this problem.

I played with this for about two hours tonight. This error is indeed caused by some perceived error by DVDA and an mpeg file. In my case I rendered the entire project as an AVI, because it wasn't long. Then I made the mpeg stream from the new AVI file and it built the DVD correctly.

I got the same message again and again exactly before the end. Of course I know theres something wrong with the file that it was rendered "succesfully" by Vegas 4 -by the way- but it simply just driving me crazy. And why are my files called objects? To make sure its more difficult to track them? Why DVDA is not saving whats to be saved if an error occurs? Why start all over again? Why only the temp folder keeps the files for longer and whats good in calling them m2v or whatever when they are actually mpeg files so if i rename them i can play them in a normal player? Why all this uncompatibilism? And why isn't DVDA supporting subpictures, to get more money with an upgrade? Well I'm kinda learning little by little, Adobe's Encore, although more complicated I will dump DVDA unless a real update from Sony (I also must complain about the preview's quality) Thanks

I wrote to SoFo about this error and gave them the diagnostics. Best as I can tell it has something to do with DVDA's interpretation of some piece of video in your mpeg stream. It doesn't like it. You can try re-redering the video stream again, but it might not help. I don't know long your project is, but I redered my entire project into DV AVI, brought the new AVI file into VV and then rendered a new audio and video stream from that. DVDA was happy. Bottom line, you aren't doing anything wrong. It's a programming quirk that popped up after VV went to version D. I don't know what triggers it.

This week I also met the same problem for the first time. However my solution was different to those posted. I had changed the source files in a DVDA project (Re-rendered them) and this confused DVDA. The mpeg files were the same length and name but with a minor correction in the video and new time/date. Finally I got the "An error occured..." message. Fortunately the DVDA project was simple and I found that re-making the DVD design from new solved the problem. This was fortunate because it took me 10 minutes to do this - re-rendering the mpegs would have been 1 hr plus. Hope this helps.

SOLUCION?????????

I think you could have deleted the events and re-added them to the DVD project and achieved the same result. That's almost as much work as making the entire project though. I did try this and for my version of the error it did not solve it. Even more curious, I used all of the same video in another project of different length and I did not get the error.

Thanks.

I have the same problem and not like solving it, somebody knows?
