DVD Dicc Creation In VS9

[Gary-STFC]

I've taken some captured AVI from a Sony Mini-DV camcorder and converted, through Ulead, to MPEG. I then edited the MPEG file with titles and slow motion replays into the timeline (Is there any way of adding in a transistion between the overlay footage and the original footage? Would save me a helluva lot of time!!). Anyway, once done, an MPEG2 file is created.

Created a new project to burn a disc using the created MPEG2 file, thinking it would take about an hour as it did last time I simply added MPEG2 files, but no. I have two MPEG files, totalling around 4.3GB in size which I've added onto the disc in Ulead. It comes up with Converting Video Title - which takes approximately 4:20 to do a single percent. Is this normal? Then on top of this, I get memory errors at a various point which says Ulead has encountered errors at memory reference "xxxxxx" (various hexadecimal addresses each time). Tried leaving it overnight to do it last night after getting frustrated, and by ignoring the error it actually wrote the disc ok! Is anyone else getting errors like this?

I installed the DVD writing patch and the recently released bundled patch also for VS9 and am using a 3.2GHz AMD, 1GB RAM and a 256MB DDR RAM ATI Radeon Graphics card.

Firstly, if you've read the manual and are still have problems look at this link

Do not convert your AVI file to MPEG and then edit. You should edit the AVI file. MPEG files are compressed files and not suitable for editing unless you use a specialised MPEG editor such as Womble,

Transitions can only be placed on the video track, not on the overlay track, an overlay is what it says, something on top of something else such as a picture in picture, you can fade in and fade out items on the overlay track. If your picture in picture is of substantial length and you wanted that to included transitions, you need to prepare it beforehand on the main video track and create a seperate AVI file to use in your main project.
