'Unspecified Error' when burning DVD

[Johnp]

Hi All

I am unable to burn a DVD using Video Studio 11.5+.

On clicking the Burn icon the process begins and the progress bars appear but then it halts with the message 'Unspecified Error' 5:0:0

My DVD writer is working ok - I've tested it with a third party DVD Burner.

I'm on XP with 2gb ram

I've tried source files of different types from the Ulead stock clips to mov files to captured DV and AVI files on disk. All fail.

If I add a menu then the burn process runs while its processing the menu then falls over when it reaches the video clip.

Any ideas?

Regards

From the Corel Knowledgebase:

Error 5.0.0 appears while burning a DVD

Details
When you try to burn a DVD, the error ¡§unspecified error 5.0.0¡¨ appears.

Answer: If Error 5.0.0 appears, it means that one or more of the files in the project is damaged. This could be a video, music or overlay file.

Try saving the project as an MPEG file. If the same error message appears when you save the project, close the program and create a copy of your project file.

Remove files from the project and try re-saving until you have identified the damaged file. Open the original project file and delete the damaged file.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried what you said but with the same result.

I have tried lots of different video clips. Some with overlays. Even just the 10 second clips that come bundled with the software. They all fail with the same error.

Its very frustrating.
