converting video

girly · Post by **girly** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:35 am

I am trying to author a video using following format (which I always use without problems)

MPEG
Lower field first
24 bits, 720 x 576 fps
16:9

I get an error message 'convert has some problems' when trying to make disc - but I don't know what problems.

Any ideas please

Have you tried another mpeg file to see?

This error message has perhaps one of the most troublesome to solve because the error message doesn't explain why it fell over.

I recently had this error and discovered that it was due to overlapping buttons in a DVD menu. This same error can indicate problems with the source files or incorrect settings or a fault with the computer itself.

To solve this type of error is a long drawn out process of elimination.
If you have followed the recommended procedure as per
This post
(One of the most important items is to create an MPEG2 File BEFORE you enter the Share | Create Disc Module) then you need to start making changes to your DVD Menu structure, one item at a time.

To cut down on the amount of time taken, temporarily turn OFF any motion effects such as motion background and motion thumbnails. This will enable the menu making process to work quicker. Burn to a Hard Drive Folder to avoid wasting any blank discs.

Follow a methodical approach and firstly try a different menu template - to eliminate the one being used as a problem. Then try different (or no) background sound for the menu.

Hopefully you will be able to find the cause of this niggling error.
Also ensure that you have checked the Ulead Website for and installed any update patches.

Thanks for the tips. I have done everything mentioned even taking off the menus and effects etc and just left basic video but still got same error. However I managed to burn it with another software package (Sonic) withoout trouble.

By the way do we not get emails any more when there is a response, I have to keep logging in to see if there's been a reply.

This forum has been broken for quite some time. Although admin says they are going to fix it, they have yet to do so.
