Hi there
I have created a DVD using DVD workshop and Video Studio 10 which contains multiple menus and video in the format AVI and MPEG2
It runs fine on a DVD and mostly fine on a computer. The problem I am having is when I want to navigate a bit of footage using the sliding navigation bar, a common feature on most PC DVD players, the whole thing crashes. If I let the video run through its fine, if I fast forward its fine, If I want to jump to a certain time frame or skip through the video usign the slide bar.....it crashes
This has happened in windoes Media Player and Sonic DVD player and some other computer DVD players
Any Ideas?
Thanks
James

It sounds like a bad/corrupt video file. Where did the AVI & MPEG files come from? Did you edit the MPEG?
AVI is not a single format. It is a "container" or "wrapper" format. It can contain anything from DV to DivX.
The more compressed the video format, the more likely you are to have problems. The lightly compressed VD format (13Gb per hour) almost never causes trouble. MPEG-2 can sometimes cause trouble. DivX and Xvid cause lots of trouble.
I've never played around with DivX or Xvid, but I have sometimes had trouble with MPEGs. In my case, the files were getting corrupted during editing. (I had no trouble with the original unedited MPEG-2s.) I solved that by buying a special-purpose MPEG editor.
I assume these are the source formats. If you made a video-DVD with Workshop, it should contain VOB files (which are MPEG-2).I have created a DVD using DVD workshop and Video Studio 10 which contains multiple menus and video in the format AVI and MPEG2

Ahh that could be it then
The final DVD consisted of 9 different clips which were sourced originally from DV, MPEG2, VOB's.
I used video studio 10 to capture the original footage of various file types, made some edits and cuts, then exported them as DV 4.3 (which was the extension .avi) or MPEG2
Some of the original footage wasn¡¦t great quality and some was from DVD. All of the edits crash windows media player though. Could you give me some advice on how I can avoid this problem using DVD workshop 2 and video studio 10 for future projects?
Thanks
