Problem making AVCHD DVD from edited Sony AVCHD files

[haaske]

Describe your problem:
I have video I had originally downloaded and made a basic AVCHD disk with just to see how it would look. That burning went fine and plans as an AVCHD disk in Blu-Ray players. I decided to add some titles, transitions and effects and now whenever I try to create an AVCHD disk using DVD Factory Pro 2010 it crashes after 2.5hours into the conversion process. The only clue to the problem is a message in the Event Viewer that the BuringApp.exe had an unhandled exception.

Note some things I have tried:
1. I can render the project out to a file. I created a 1080i-60fps MPEG. The 49 minute video ended up as 9GB. Not sure if that is MP4/H.264.
2. I have tried this about 7-8 times each time failing during the convert process. I have tried different options for the DVD menu, but to no avail.
3. I finally tried to uninstall and reinstall the app. I thought I had VS X3 SP1 and I have have before the reinstall, but when I check the version numbers on the files it shows 13.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.50 for the BurningApp.

What am I doing wrong? I believe I had SP1 so I should have the latest code. Is there some log file somewhere. Thanks for your time.

Hi

Using X3 render your project to a new video file.
Share Create Video File-Avchd, or Same as first video if that option is available.

Use the resultant HD file in DVD Movie Factory 7SE

This program has been supplied by Corel as a replacement to DVD Factory Pro 2010.

Thanks, I can give that a try. I was able to render the file to an AVCHD 1440 file today. I had DVD Movie Factory 7 SE installed before, but I uninstalled it when I did the reinstall. I will give that a try once I enter my registration code again.

Well, I deinstalled VSX3 & DVD Movie Factory 7SE and reinstalled VSX3. Now I can not get Movie Factory 7SE back. I stared an online chat with install support, but they could not help. It seems that it was part of SP1. When I reinstalled I put the SP1 on, but I did not get an option to reinstall 7SE again.

Any ideas how to get the back again?

Hi

I've just noticed a link to MF7 download towards the bottom of this post, maybe it will help?
