I am trying to use VS9 having used VS7. I have downloaded a TV program and saved it as an mpg files. This I have done in VS7, and went through all the steps to burn a DVD as I did in 7.
All is well until I ask it to burn and the first step is to convert the file(s) and I get an error message that says there is a problem in the convertion. Error # 4101. That is the end of the project.
Please, what am I doing that is incorrect and how do I proceed?
I rather like and am impressed with VS9 and would like to continue to use it rather than VS7.
Thank you so very much for any help you may offer.
Regards,
Guy Henderson

You need to give us more information -- properties of the file, how it was captured, project properties, computer specifications, operating system to name a few.
First of all, though, we need to know what "all the steps to burn a DVD" were in your case. A common reason for faults in the burning process is following the wrong procedure. The recommended procedure is outlined in the top sticky post on this Board. To summarise, you should NOT be going straight from the project in the timeline to the burn module (Share > Create Disc > DVD) which it sounds as though you are doing. INSTEAD, you should use the preferred method which is to first produce a DVD-compatible mpeg-2 file (Share > Create Video File > DVD). Once you have this file, close your current project, and then click Share > Create Disc > DVD. This will open the burning module. Insert your DVD-compatible file(s). Make sure you click on 'Do not convert compliant mpeg-2 files' in the little cog-wheel icon in the bottom left of the burning module screen. Add your menu, chapters etc, and burn either the DVD itself or produce a disc image or Video_TS folder if you intend to burn more copies later.
If you are not using this method, then the wide experience here is that you are asking for trouble.
