I have the same problem with DVDA 7. I rendered a Mainconcept AVC in VP 14 (201) then imported it into DVDA and at about 30 min or so it gives the same message. I tried to make a Bluray without menus with the same rendered file and the same error occurred. I am now going to re render the project again in VP and see if I can get DVDA to make a Bluray. When I render in DVDA I use the prepare option that is when I receive the error message.
I made blurays from the same project after VP rendered in Sony AVC and Mainconcept MPEG2 file formats and DVDA had no problem making a prepare folder. I also made a MPEG 2 DVD and burned that to a DVD.
Interesting parallel Michael-Carlo. DVDA accepts the MPEG-2 files and appears to write the ISO, however as it switches to preparation the error code appears.
Previously with the similar file inputs the DVDA blu-ray write worked fine. Why then this problem?
The support section of Magix didn't appear to list DVDA as a product but I persevered and took out a 'support ticket' anyway In three days I haven't had a response, Does anyone know if this is usual?
For your info and anyone else looking in who might have had this issue, here is what i sent to the ticket app. DVD Architect (currrent version) is running under Windows 10 on an i7 machine with a Buffalo BDXL blu-ray writer. I have re-installed/updated .NET. The video files were produced in Premiere Pro 2015.3 via the 264 Blu-ray preset.
denis, I also put a support ticket in yesterday to Magix.
Just for the heck of it I took that same project that was rendered in VP as a MC MPEG 2 Blu-ray render, brought it into DVDA and it rendered fine to a iso file. This was done after the MC AVC failed to render. The problem appears to be the MC AVC Blu-ray template.
The response to my support ticket, sadly five days too late to be implemented, was as follows:
This error may appear when the sum of the bitrates of all streams (video angles, audio, and subtitles) in a title that belong to same clip (*.m2ts) exceeds the maximum overall bit rate value. If this error appears, please try the steps below:
1. Go into the File menu in DVD Architect and select Optimize Disc.
2. Click on the File in the Optimize Disc window, that could be causing the error. It may be a multi angle file, a compliant file, or a file encoded with a variable bit rate.
3. You can view the bit rate of the individual video and audio streams by clicking on the separate video and audio buttons listed at the top right side of the Optimize Disc window.
4. If “Recompress” is set to “No” for a compliant file, changing the recompress setting to “Yes” may resolve this.
Setting the “Use Default Bit Rate” setting to “No” and adjusting the “Bit Rate” field just below that, may also resolve this.
A way to calculate the right bit rate for your project may be a trial and error method, where you start with the bit rate calculated for a single angle and then reduce the bit rate until the prepare process completes without error. This seems to currently be the best way to test the limit of bit rates. In practice, it may be challenging to encode video for multi-angle while maintaining acceptable encoding quality. This fact is especially true when the number of angles and streams is increased.
