I can no longer use Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5 Suite Deluxe to ouptut to a DVD which plays on a stand-alone DVD player - one connected to a TV.
I have 5 .avi files created by downloading from a Panasonic DV camera (using the Panasonic software - although I doubt it makes any difference what software was used - they can be played by Windows Media Player and Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5 Suite Deluxe).
I open Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5 Suite Deluxe and input the 5 files.
I select output to DVD.
I get this error message
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in DVDMF.exe [3500]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has Just-In-Time debugging enabled. In Visual Studio, Just-In-Time debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time.
Check the documentation index for 'Just-In-Time debugging, errors' for more information.
This is pure gobbledygook - it means absolutely nothing to me.
I have tried another way.
Convert all .avi files to mpeg.
Using Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5 Suite Deluxe:
Input the 5 mpeg files
Select output to DVD
This works, BUT (a big BUT) - while it plays using Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5 Suite Deluxe (or Windows Media Player)
I CAN'T PLAY IT ON A STAND-ALONE DVD PLAYER
Please forgive the shouting, but it is so annoying. Previously, I have created 5 DVDs which I can play quite OK in the DVD player attached to the TV, but I cannot get this one to work.
In the past, I also created one DVD which only plays on the PC. How this occurred or why this now happens is beyond me.
Can someone - please, please - give me step by step instructions on how to take 5 .avi files and create from them a DVD which I can play on my DVD player.
I will be so happy if this happens

Create a "normal" DVD - A BASIC QUERY
The program came with the DVD writer.
Doesn't this mean the same as bundled with hardware?
I think I have checked updates from time to time. In any case, it used to work before, and I doubt that I have made any updates since it last worked.
What I would like to know is:
1. WTH does the message mean?
What is Just-in-Time?
What is Visual Studio?
What has this to do with anything?
2. How can I do what I used to do before?
One assumes that if one does the same thing, one gets the same result. However, this software (like all that I know - at least nowadays) is so complex that I can't be sure that I did the same thing as before.
3. Consequent to 2. (i.e. can I be sure?)
Can someone supply step-by-step instructions on how to write a set of .avi files to a DVD which plays in a stand-alone player?
Is there some setting (e.g. in Advanced Settings) which I need to make?
Some extra information.
The .avi files will not fit on my C: drive. They are actually on an external hard drive connected via USB2
When I start the process, I see a message re space needed on the hard drive. I can't recall but it may be more than is available on the C: Drive (7.95 GB free at the moment). I also don't know whether the progam is looking for this space on the C: drive or in the F: drive (the external drive)

Visual Studio is a suite of Software from Microsoft.
It includes programming languages such as Visual Basic, C++, Visual FoxPro and many others.
In fact if you're clever enough you can write your own version of
Microsoft Windows.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/
I haven't hear of this "Just-In-Time" but the clue is your reference to Visual Studio. It appears you have another piece of software on your computer conflicting with MovieFactory.
Obviously you will need to free up space on your C drive, how you go about that task depends upon what you already have on the drive that you can get rid of.

Could you try something:
Plug in your DV Camcorder, Open up the MF program.
Goto Capture and capture from within MF.
Make sure to select DV-Type 1 (avi/dv).
If you can't get MF to capture DV and it's trying to capture Mpeg then
goto "Change Capture Plugin" and select the "Ulead DSW Direct Show" Plugin.
See if the files captured within MF work.
You may not have captured standard DV from your camcorder.
It does make a difference.

Yes, I have downloaded Visual Studio from Microsoft - I was going to try using Visual Web Developer. The names are slightly different, so I didn't connect the two.
Two questions
1. Would removing Visual Web Developer make any difference ?
2. Is the lack of space on the C: drive the cause of the problem?
I can remove anything since my external drive is larger than the C: drive
(250 GB vs 40 GB). My largest user of space is My Pictures - loads of still digital pictures. It is shared with a laptop, so I do have the problem that removing it makes it unusable from the laptop and when I restore it, the laptop user (my wife) has to set all folders to "Make Available Offline". I know this, but it can annoy her. (She is not so computer literate)
To Madrunner,
I can try using Ulead Movie Factory to download the .avi files from the camera, but a couple of points:
1. I have always used the Panasonic software without problems
2. All downloads play OK with Windows Media Player and Ulead DVD Player (and the Panacsonic software for that matter)
In light of this, I believe they are .avi files
Still, I can do it. IGBTY

AFAICT, your system is running out of temp file space when working with your AVI files. Even though these reside on an external drive (also a bit iffy) MF needs the temp space for the processing of these files and your C:\ drive doesn't have enough of it. Don't forget, 1 hour of DV AVI is 13 GB, the same space is required again for the temp files plus some space for the system to just breathe and for the swap file.
I'm afraid, you have reached the end of the flag pole with that system of yours.

Good to get a reply from Australia
What you said seems to confirm my suspicions. My strategy now seems to be this:
1. Find how much space the .avi files take on the F: (external) drive
2. Double it and perhaps add a bit more.
3. Move to the F: drive folders of size sufficient to free up the space determined in 2.
4. Copy the .avi files from F: to C:
5. Run Ulead Create DVD.
6. Move back all files from 3.
7. Cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Theres a couple of hard drive space gobblers that can very easily be moved over to the F drive with absolutely no pain.
1. Open Internet Explorer.
Tools | Internet Options | Temporary Internet Files
Click the settings button and then move the folder to somewhere convenient on the F drive.
Windows will log you off, move the files. You can then log back on again.
2. Move your Pagefile (Swapfile)
there is a guide here
This one can really free up some space.
3. Another hard drive space gobbler is "System Restore"
Either turn it off completely or use the slider to reduce the amount of hard drive space set aside for it.
You can also gain more space by running the disk cleanup wizard.
Double click you desktop "My Computer" icon to bring up windows explorer. Right click the C drive and select properties.
On the "General Tab" there is a disk cleanup button.
You can also go to the Control panel and select Add/remove Programs.
Look down the list and you may be surprised to see lts of old programs that may have been installed over a several months that you don't actually use.

I agree with everything Steve said, except this one. Since you only got the one internal HDD this is not going to help you in any way. Do not move your swap file to an external drive, ever!sjj1805 wrote:Theres a couple of hard drive space gobblers that can very easily be moved over to the F drive with absolutely no pain.
