VideoStudio crash when trying to burn or create video file

Hi everybody!

I'm new in this stuff, so excuse me if I miss some importante info or if I do not explain myself properly.

The question is simple: everything is fine till I try to create a video file (PAL SVCD and PAL MPEG2 HD with version 10+) or create an image (I haven't tried to burn straight to DVD by now), the program crashes. The first time I had a blue screen about a bad call pooler. The following, it just froze and I had to shut it down. The third time it failed the program did not crash, but no video file was created. The last time I had a look on it it was at 52% rendering. Five minutes later, the program seemed to be OK, it did not freeze or crash, but no video file was created. Somehow it stopped.

I have a Pentium IV 3.0, 1024 Mb RAM, motherboard Intel D915GAV, onboard graphic card (Intel Extreme Graphic Accelerator 900; 128 Mb), realtek HD onboard sound card , 160 Mb HD (about 20 Gb free) and Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

I use the VS7 that came together with the camcoder, but it also happens with versions 9 and 10+ (I have just tried twice with 10+ right before posting and both times it froze between 5 and 15% rendering).

Should I afford a video card to use this programs? Does it have something to do with my problem?

Thanks a lot.

Raúl.-

No, your video card is more than adequate.

Thanks.

You need to post the properties of your source videos/files.

Right-Click on them, select "Properties" and post their "Properties" back to this thread.

By "Properties" all I have is seize and date of creation...

If you meant video/audio codecs, the videos were captured from the camcoder using the VS7 in SVCD.

Please tell me if I misunderstood.

Thank you.

I am a little confused. What kind of camera are you capturing from? You say VS7 SE came with the camera, so that suggests to me that you don't have a HD camera -- yet earlier, you said one of your capture formats was mpeg-2 HD. In any case, VS7 is not able to deal with HD, in case your camera is in fact a HD one -- so it would be strange if it came bundled with VS7 SE.

You also say you tried capturing in PAL SVCD format. That also sounds strange, particularly if you are wanting to burn to DVD. SVCD is of much lesser quality than DVD (though still not bad). But it has a frame format which is quite different to the size of a DVD frame.

If your camera is in fact a mini DV one, you should be capturing (via Firewire) to DV format, do your editing in DV format, and -- if you are trying to produce an ISO image for a DVD (?), then you should then go to Share > Create Video File > PAL DVD. Depending on the version of VS7 SE you have, it may not even be able to burn a DVD, so you would need to burn your ISO on another program like Nero Burning ROM.

To tell us the full properties of your files, right click on one of your captured files in the VS7 timeline, and select Properties. Copy them all down and post them back here.

I have a mini-DV Panasonic NV-GS17. Using VS7 I tried to create a file in SVCD format. Yesterday I tried with the VS 10+ and with it I tried both SVCD and HD Mpeg2, just to see if it worked any of these ways. When I capture from the camcoder, I use the format SVCD just because I tried in every format, and then reproduced it in my home DVD player (Pioneer DV-585a-S) and it seemed to me that that format was the best in quality. (I'm not sure but I think that in DV format it did not read the file.)

Then, after adding titles and so, I also try to create the same format.

Ok, I will try it. Just to know, I tried to create a image just to see if it worked, since it did not work when trying to create a video file

To tell us the full properties of your files, right click on one of your captured files in the VS7 timeline, and select Properties. Copy them all down and post them back here.

Ok, now I get it

Thank you very much.

What I meant by properties was right-clicking on the thumbnail of the video on the "TimeLine" (VS is open and the video is on the timeline). That should be the video you have captured and trying to convert.

I posted it in my previous post.

Did you review the standard video creation process located as the 1st post on the videostudio forum page?
I would read the information from that which may clear up some video jargon for you since you said you were new to the field. There is alot to learn depending on how far you want to go into it.

Ok, I'll have a look on it. Thank you very much.

You are also referencing the term "HD" which I notice your soundcard is a high defintion soundcard. That's not the same as HD video.

I just tried that format to see if it worked. Used HD just because it was another MPEG format, an as I say in my previous post, it the aone that works in my home DVD player.

Thank you very much.
