I have found that when adding a WMV file created from Microsoft Photo Story 3, adding the WMV to my project for inclusion appears to be successful.
Until you try and burn the DVD, if normalize audio is selected when it reaches the WMV file it will produce and error 4570 Unspecified, no further explanation.
If I unselect normalize, it will build the menus etc, but when it comes to processing the WMV file, it will halt with the same error.
Therefore I believe there is a compatibility issue with importing WMV files created with PhotoStory 3.
Any one else experience this?
WMV Support in VS9 as imported Video

Hi
Using Video Studio
It reads as though you are burning the dvd from the project timeline, this approach can sometimes cause various problems.
After you have finished editing:-
Share----Create Video File (select Pal-Dvd) as a template.
Now use the new file:-
Start a NEW project. ( make sure your video file and project settings are the same)
Share Create Disc—Add Video
Read the top Recommended Procedure posting, and the tutorials.

Wrong Assumption
Trevor,
Wrong assumption
. I have read the FAQ's etc. I am adding the VIDEO at the Create a Disc dialog that invites me to add projects and video.
I have created content with earlier versions of windows media SDK and this presents no problem.
However using Microsoft PhotoStory 3 (Free download) and creating a WMV of the presentation. VS9 does not like it's content.
Therefore it is a problem with VS9 as a whole.
Kind Regards
Jason

Hi
When you Share -- Create Disc, Video Studio needs a compatible Mpeg 2 file to burn.
You would normally create this file from Share Create Video File, selecting the DvD template.
Then Share Create Disc—Add Video.(using an Mpeg 2 file)
If you ‘Add’ another file say Wmv, VS will re-render the file in the burner module to create a compatible file, prior to burning. This rendering process within the burner module should be avoided.
You should never see the warning ('This process will take some time.........)
The burning should start without render.
You should not be adding a Wmv file in the burner module but convert to Mpeg first, using the create Video File.

Trevor,
Thank you for the swift reply.
I fully understand what you are saying and that would seem logical. And I will follow that advice.
More importantly in the burner module (And this is for the Ulead Guys to Answer)
Why does VS9 allow you to select any movie file at that point of the burn process and not issue a compatibility warning or limit the import to just MPEG2?
Do you see the issue, VS9 needs some tightening or consistency in it's approach.
Incidently, I didn't receive a warning about taking time!
Kind Regards
Jason

Hi Jason
Don’t get me wrong, Video Studio can convert your files within the burner module but many of the forum users have had problems.
The solution was to create a video file first.
The recommended procedure posted in the top posting has cured many problems, Using a tried and tested process seems sensible to me.

If you are using Wmv files as your source video I feel that the final Dvd quality will be poor.
The wmv file just does not have the data content to produce a top quality dvd.
Good luck
