Hi
Using VideoStudio 9 I tried to make a DVD of a recorded HDTV program. The program, according to Nero Showtime, had a duration of 1 hour, 6 minutes 47 seconds.
To confirm the program was ok I played back the raw file and the program is complete, i.e. the end of the program was recorded and at the time shown above.
I then created a "DVD" (using the files approach, on my hard drive in order to not make frisbies) and played back the resulting rendered files.
The counter in the playing program (Nero Showtime) then ran smoothly until the time shown above was reached and the playback was abruptly terminated. This was at least five minutes before the end of the program.
I am using PAL, 15:9 aspect and MPEG sound format.
How do I get to recording for posterity the whole program?
File gets truncated when DVD created

Hi
Don’t really know where to start!
I think we need a little more info!
What are the properties of the original clip?
If they are standard compliant Dvd files then you should be able to burn directly a disc.
Insert the file into the timeline, right click and select properties.
What are they?
Did you need to re-render your clip prior to burning?

I am using the 30 day trial of VideoStudio9, so don't know if that is slightly crippled or not being a trial version.
I am very keen to get the TV program recorded for posterity; it was the Eurovision 2005 Finals.

Hi
When you placed the rendered file into the timeline was it complete.
Can you play this file to the end?
If yes
Start a new project
Place the file/clip into the timeline
Now remove the file/clip, this will set your project properties to match the clip properties.
You now have an empty project.
Share / Create Disc / Add Video
Add the rendered clip.
Create your menus and titles.
In the final burn window
De-select Burn to disc.
Select Create DVD Folders
Select Burn
Play the DVD TS folder
Does that work
