X5 won't create DVD's

[john4647]

My Video Studio X5 refuses to create DVD's.

The system runs fine apart from that. When I go to Share, Create Disc, DVD, then check Create Disc, Create DVD Folders, Create Disc Image, Normalize Audio, Delete Temporary Files in Working Folder. Then Click Burn, everything proceeds as normal until both progress bars reach 99%, then I get the following message " Unspecified Error -- 5.0.0".
Nothing gets transferred to disc.
This is the same for all projects.
I have already tried re-installing VS X5.
Nothing seems to make any difference.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Have you tried un-checking 'Create disc' and 'Create DVD folders' leaving only the .iso (disc image) option checked.

can you then create an .iso and use that to make your DVD ?

in addition - what make and type of blank DVD are you using - have you ever successfully burnt to them

Hello again Brian.

No, haven't tried that. The Discs are ASDA DVD+R, I have used them many times before, without a problem.

Brian, yes that way it works fine, no problem, thank you.

Ken, I will need to run through that article but I can't see what has changed on my system since last week, when everything was fine.

If I unplug the USB card reader, VSX5 works fine and creates discs. ??

The card reader (generic type) works fine.
