Conversion step failed

Hello,

I use VS9. I try to generate a film with JPEG picture.
I add my picture (200).
I set a modele
When I want to generate film (ISO, IFO./BUP file for DVD) I get automatically the following message (translation from french) : Conversion step has failed! (4101).

I try to regenerate the project and DVD maker x time, without success.

Could you help me ?.?.?.

For the benefit of others, 'modele' is the French for 'template'...

Arnouf -- I think you are jumping a step. After putting all your photos together, you should first go to Share > Create Video File > DVD to create a DVD-compatible mpeg-2 of your slideshow of photos. I personally always use PAL settings including 8000 kbps bitrate, Dolby audio 256 kbps, and most importantly Frame Based. Some other people use Lower Field First with success. You will need to experiment.

But you should take this step first, and before you go to Share > Create Disc > DVD, which is what I suspect you are doing.

Bonne chance!

I use the Share/Create Video File/DVD...This generates the error.
I success to generate a mpeg file...If I open the VS studio, add this mpeg and try to create the DVD I obtain (gain) the same error !

I made my suggestion because Error 4101, as far as I am aware, only appears when you are trying to burn a DVD and had not previously produced a fully DVD-compatible mpeg-2 file. In other words. it seems that the mpeg-2 file you say you are attempting to produce is not fully DVD-compatible. Can you please tell us what the project properties are please or tell us exactly which modele you used.

Also, with VS9, that error message was received by some people after they applied the update patch to VS9. They had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall and not apply the patch to remedy the problem.

Ok, I'll try to uninstall and reinstall without to apply patches...It's very strange, If Ulead creates patches which can't run correctly !!!!
