Capturing from a dvd
When I try to capture from a dvd in Video Studio 10, I click on import and it stops the import at about 62% and hangs up the program. My dvd won't eject and the computer has to be restarted to do so. Anyone with a suggestion?

Heinz your posts totally crack me up, as an expat Aussie I always look forward to reading them.
Steve, allow me to translate: No-one on the board could possibly give you any sort of answer or solution to the problem. We don't know where the DVD came from, what it's format or media type is and we know nothing of your computer system. What brand type is the DVD reader is it compatible with the media how much hard drive space, is it defragged, the list goes on and on.
Read the top sticky note on the forum and it will give you a guide to what info we need.

problem copying dvd track
Thanks.. I have a clone computer with an AMD Athlon 64 - 3200+ processor, 1 GB ram. Running Widows XP Pro - sp2 and using a Sony 16x DVD-RW.. Probably a currupt file on the dvd since I have had no other problems inputing to the program from a dvd. The only thing is the dvd plays on any player.

hi Steve, there is a huge difference between playing a DVD and extracting a file. DVD players and software have features built in to them that can compensate to some degree for dodgy sections of the disc if they are present. The corrupt or damaged part may just play straight through or you may see a momentary flicker that is barely noticable to the viewer.
Extracting the files off the DVD is a different story. One way to check is to get the Nero CD/DVD Speed utility to run a diagnostic of the disc. If the Nero suite did not come with your burner then go to

and download a copy ofthat utility. test the disc and see if there is any noticable problem.

I too have had this problem, exactly as you describe.
The problem is not with your PC, nor is it with your DVD drive. It is to do with the disc itself. I believe some indexes on the DVD disk are skewed, such that it will play fine in DVD players and on your PC, but prevents you from importing it into authoring programs. It may be a form of copy protection.
Get hold of a small tool called fixVTS from here:
www.videohelp.com/~fixvts/
Copy your DVD to your hard drive, start fixVTS, drag and drop a .VOB file onto it and click 'Full DVD'. Two or three minutes later the job is done. You should now be able to import the DVD into VS.
This fixed the problem for me - previously troublesome DVDs now import every time.
Hope this helps!
