VS 7 DVD Burning Hanging - PLEASE HELP

btesnar · Post by **btesnar** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 2:13 pm

Hello. I would really appreciate any help that you could provide. I am using VS 7. I purchased an I/O Magic 16x External DVD RW burner. I am running it on a DELL computer with Windows XP Home SP2. When I try to burn my movie to a DVD the whole process seems to work well. Until it gets to 100% of the burning phase, and then it hangs. No errors, no nothing, it just hangs. I have tested the burner and it works with other programs (Nero). I have also installed the latest burning patches and the latest VS7 patch.

Does anyone have any solutions to my problem?

Ben

It may in fact be Nero that is interferring with UVS. Try outputting to an ISO file instead of writing directly to the DVD, and burn that with Nero.

Thanks for the reply THoFF. Just for my understanding, are you saying that simply having Nero installed on my PC could be causing this issue? Because when I am using VS7, I don't have Nero even running at the same time. Or are you saying that having VS7 and Nero running at the same time could cause the issue?

It's the drivers / DLA component that are part of Nero that are causing the problem. You don't have to have the Nero application itself open.

If I uninstall Nero, will that remove the drivers and all?

Yes it should.

Instead of uninstalling the whole of Nero, you might want to start by first uninstalling the InCD component of the Nero suite. That is the packet writing software which seems to the be the focus of the conflict over burning by other programs. I found that worked for me, and I happily use the other elements of Nero for other purposes.

I finally solved this problem last night. I remembered reading in the procedures that VS has trouble burning DVD's directly from the timeline. When I was attempting to burn my project, I had some still images in the timeline. When I created an mpeg of the entire project and came back into VS to burn the DVD, it worked!

So my lesson here is that it is wise to create a video file of your entire project, close out of VS, come back in and burn that video file. And I actually got a very good quality DVD movie when it was all said and done.

Ben,
I'm actually speechless.

But not for long.

You are not out of the woods, yet. If you are not following ALL the directions in the Recommended Procedure then you are not yet actively managing your Capture, Project, and Burn properties, which is the real key to success with Video Studio.
