After compiling a video that consists mainly of pictures with some sound in the background i get the error message "Cannot Read Audio 0x80004005" There is also the number 18300:800:19 at the bottom of the pop-up error message. The compilation takes a long time. There is sufficient harddrive space for my final file, the disk format is NTFS and all sound files have permissions to read. I can create a audio file only of the sound track which confuses me why this error shows up. What could be the root cause of this issue?

Some people have had problems when they added MP3 files to their projects -- if that is what you are using, I would try converting them to another format such as WAV first.

All the files are .WAV (Windows Media Format). It appears to happen just after compiling the DVD to disk. I am not burning a DVD just saving it to the harddrive.

Any other avenues or suggestions I could try?

I have just created a video file but instead of the DVD format i have used the .WMV format for the smart phone and this worked perfectly. Why couldn't i do this for the NTSC (4:3) DVD format? Let me know what other things i can do to troubleshoot. Many thanks for all your help.
