That error code usually appears when you use an AVI file with some specific CODEC like XviD or 3ivX, which might not be compatible with, or is known to cause problems with, Ulead products.
In the first place, you should not be inserting non-DVD compliant files into the burning engine. Read our Recommended Procedures in the top sticky post on this Board. The files should first, during the editing stage, be rendered into a DVD-compliant mpeg-2 (Share > Create Video File > DVD). Then you close your project, and with an empty timeline, go to Share > Create Disc > DVD, insert your mpeg-2(s), create the menu and burn the disc.
And with some of those other highly compressed and potentially problematic formats I mentioned above, you may need to first use some other converting tool like TMPGEnc or SUPER to convert the AVI to DVD-compliant MPEG2.

I contiually receive a 'Failed to Encode Video' message while trying to create a DVD video file from a VSP project in V10+. The project contains mostly images with pan and zoom and cross fade. There is one video sequence originally created as a UIS. I created a video from this sequence with the final video parameters and replaced the UIS version. Still get 'Failed to Encode Video'.
The failure occurs around 60% of the way through. The settings for the project and the video to be created are
DVD- 100% quality, constant bit rate 8,000, Dolby 5.1 (448 kbps), 29.97 FPS, 720x480, 16x9. perform non-square rendering.
I have plenty of disk space available and have basically shut down all processes except essentials and VS. I'm running XP on a dual Xenon 3 Ghz processors with 2Gb of RAM.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm rendering this project as a video, because the create DVD process crashes regularly using VSP files. I'm finding V10 to be a lot buggier than V9. I regularly get dl errors of various sorts when shutting down VS and find that I have to reboot frequently to clear up memory leaks.
