Videostudio 10 stops

Post by eddyve »

I have a sony dvd camcorder which makes movies in vob. I have struggled a lot to find software to edit this format and I was happy to find that Ulead was doing this. Unfortunately, until now I was never able to make a new (mpeg) movie after editing. I had installed first on my (old) Vista laptop and when rendering VS10 stopped at some point. I uninstalled and re-installed on my desktop running XP, same result. I have a new laptop with a 2.5 ghz dual core2 cpu and 2gb ram and I was hoping again. My first part went fine since I was able to edit and convert my vob to a mpeg and keeping my 16:9 image setting, which I couldn't do with Nero 8.
I wasn't that lucky with my 2nd movie of 520 mb of length. Whatever I try VS10 stops running after 22 or 23% and closes. What am I doing wrong and who can help me? I have paid for this version 10 and until now I have never been able to make one good movie!
BTW I am running Vista home premium.

I noticed you solved you're previous problem whatever that may have been. So I'm going to at this time ask if you did install the Vista Patch for VS10? http://www.ulead.com/tech/vs/vs_ftp_10.htm

For running VS10 on an XP machine you should not install that patch, and then for Vista machines you need to..

VS10 was the only version that allowed for direct insertion to the time line of VOB file format, Insert VideoFile. Even though it is done with other versions, the command is different, Insert DVD/DVD-VR. Which method are you using?

If VS is stopping at about the same place while trying to, a). Create a VideoFile, b). Burn a disc.; (I'm unsure on what), I would suspect possible corruption in the MPEG file. Have you tried using any other MPEG files, and does it do the same thing?

It may be choking on a transition or filter that you have applied. Try locating that position in the video file, and see. If you have a transition try changing it, or removing it.

If this is occurring while trying to create a new video file, do you have SmartRender enabled? If so, the program should only be rendering the changed portions, and not the whole file, if you're Project Properties match that of your source video file. If not, VS will render the whole file.

In the burn module (share>Create disc) Project Settings, do you have checked "Do not Convert MPEG..." checked?

.VOB is not really a separate video format, but a specially processed mpeg-2 file to be used only on video DVDs.

When people have trouble importing directly from a DVD, we usually suggest two things:

1) Try copying the DVD to your computer hard disk and importing from there; or if that does not work
2) If the DVD contents have been copied to your hard disk, then simply change the extension of the files which end in .vob to .mpg Then try opening that in Video Studio. That usually works -- though you may have to open more than one in order to get all the video you are after. That is because, under DVD standards, no .vob file can be bigger than 1 GB.
