3rd clip readable s a fix photo only

Nounours18200 · Post by **Nounours18200** » Sun May 20, 2007 7:13 pm

I face a strange problem for the first time since I have been using UVS (many years...)

I have burned a DVD made of 4 clips, and when I select the 3rd one from the DVD menu on my DVD player, I only see a fix image (like a photo) during a few seconds, and after the player reads the 4th one.

I initially thought I made a mistake by inserting a fix image instead of the video clip, so I opened back the VSP project, and it does include the mpg file of the 3rd clip.

Any idea ?

Thanks

UVS10+ with SP1/ XP-SP2

Hi

What version of VS are u using?

When you go Share Create Disc, do you Add Video?
or
are the videos already added???

VS version is 10+ with SP1 (running under XP-SP2).

I have re-opened the UVS project (.VSP) I initially created for burning the DVD, in order to check that the 3rd clip is really a clip and not only an image (and it is a clip).

So I have no idea...

I solved the pb by using Magix to create the DVD, but I have not find the reason of the pb.

Tks

Nounours: I am slightly confused. You say your DVD is composed of 4 clips and you talk about them as though they were separate when you added them to the burning module.

But then you talk about only one .vsp file.

If indeed it was four separate clips included in one single project, then it sounds to me like you have ignored some of our fundamental advice here and burned your single project file instead of first preparing a DVD-compatible mpeg-2 of your single project.

That way, you would have been able to play back the new mpeg-2 and seen what happened to your third video, before you actually burned it to DVD.

It also illustrates the type of problem that can often arise when people jump that step...

no, all the clips had been converted into mpeg2:

I first went to "share"/"burn DVD", then I added the 4 clips (all mpeg2) and after the DVD was burned, I left VS10+ and save the "no name" project as a VSP file, let say "movie.vsp" (just before VS closed itself).

Then, when I watched the DVD on a TV, I saw the pb on the 3rd clip.
So I went back to UVS, I have re-opened "movie.vsp", went to "share"/"burn DVD" and I found my 4 initial clips and I checked that the 3rd one was effectively an mpeg2 file...

that is the story: I apologize if I missed a point, but I do not see why the 3rd clip has a pb... Most of the time, I have no pb with UVS...

Strange

From the burner module:-

Right click each clip in turn, select Media Clip Properties

What are they, are they all the same?????????

You could continue to burn but Create a DVD Folder
You can now play this on your pc checking the video and menu structure.

Strange

yes I think so...

What are they, are they all the same?????????

yes they are, because they all come from the same DV tape...

but I do not mind, because it is the only pb I get with UVS for years: globally the soft is very reliable... Maybe I made a mistake, but I do not see what it could be...

Thanks

I don't think Trevor means the original clips. He asked you to click on the clips that are in the Burner Module, the rendered clips. Are you sure they are all the same, property-wise?

Hi
Yep Jeff that¡¦s what i meant.

Ok Nounours18200 another question I thought of.

When you select the Mpegs in the Burner module, you see a blue bar below the preview screen. (the trim bar)

Does the blue trim bar exist in full for each video clip.????

If you have inadvertently pressed the Mark in/out to the right, your video may trim to one frame.
