Hi,
I have 5 high definition video (1920x1080, 24fps,audio 24 bits, 5.1) in my videostudio (10+) project for a total of about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I'm not able to burn a DVD because I got this message : CONVERT STEP GOT SOME PROBLEMS. What's happen ?
What can I do to correct the problem?
Thank you very much.

Two possibilities.
1. You may have a computer with bad RAM.
You can check to see if there are any issues with your ram by downloading and running the free Memtest software:
http://www.memtest86.com/
2. You may be forcing the Ulead encoder to compress a file that has not been properly encoded.
What type of file are you trying to convert?
When I work with DV .avi files, for example, I note the following PROPERTIES:
* NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
* Microsoft AVI files
* 24 Bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
* Field Order A
* DV Video Encoder -- type 1
* DV Audio -- NTSC, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
How do the properties of your source file compare?

Luc,
You almost certainly got the "Convert Step Had Problems" because you tried to operate Video Studio intuitively, instead of following the procedure that is detailed in the High Definition Tutorial. Steve (sjj1805) provided the link, above.
Specifically, I suspect that you placed high definition video files in the EDIT timeline and then pressed the SHARE/CREATE DISK button, which forced Video Studio to downconvert your high def video to DVD compliant video, with default property directives (almost always wrong).
Your action should be to follow the procedure that is detailed in the HD Tutorial. Most importantly, instead of SHARE/Create Disc, press SHARE/CREATE VIDEO FILE/CUSTOM/OPTIONS and set up the downconversion properties as detailed in the HD Tutorial. Then, burn the DVD from the video file.
If this doesn't help, the next thing to look at would be the properties of the source files: In addition to the audio properties, 24 frames per second has to be converted to 25fps (PAL) or 30fps(NTSC).

1. Your properties: 1920x1080, 24fps,audio 24 bits, 5.1
2. These are not standard HDV properties. How did you obtain these files?
You see, HDV 1080i files have the following properties:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 1440 x 1080, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(MPEG-2), 16:9
Video data rate: 25000 kbps
Audio data rate: 384 kbps
MPEG audio layer 2, 48 KHz, Stereo
3. No offense intended toward Mr. Hunter because he has worked hard on his tutorial, but I suspect his HDV tutorial may not represent the optimal method for down-converting HDV and I plan to do some extensive testing in the weeks ahead to see if I can confirm my suspicions.

Bonjour,
Now, I understand where those WMV files come. To do a short story, it's a friend who came at home to make a DVD with these video files. Yesterday, he explained me that it had downloaded these files from Internet site of Microsoft : www.wmvhd.com. I don't think that it's possible to create a DVD from VS10+ with this type of file. So, I continu to make test.
Regards,
Luc
