Burning An AV1 fille to video

[Grobert]

I have produced a few slideshows on DVDs quite successfully , but now when I bring the AV1 file to be burnt with ulead I keep getting the message " DVDMF has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.An error log has been created " . I have tried over several days but the same message reappears - it seems near impossible to get in touch with ulead technical assistance. Any ideas?

Hi

I have recently aquired a DVD writer so I tried to make my first Dvd version of one of my PTE shows. Iwas very short, about 20 mins but using Nero 6 took 2hours to encode. It did work fine with no flicker.

Then IO tried a 58 minute show that works very well on the PC monitor. When I tried to write to DVD it showed that it would take 5 1/2 hours to encode. Is this normal or is something wrong? I have Pentium 4 2 gig and 512 MB RAM.

It SHOULD take no more than about 58 mins (1x) - anyone else?

opened DALE FULL.EXE SHOW

the exe is 269 .5 mb

it consists of 4 mp3's

and 238 full size images -- as they came from camera -- ranging in size from 106 kb to 2086 kb

using pte -- made an avi

the avi was 177.584 mb

using nero suite 6.3 nero vison express i created a dvd

expected size of show 820 meg

time to encode 52 mins

total time including burning was 57 mins

then using a hacked avi --was a movie/tv file dont know how it was made --

was 351.124 mb's divx file

expected size was 1.67 gb

transcode time 50:33 mins

total time incl burn 52:12 mins

second copy took 6 min 20 secs to complete -- nero keeps all the encoding in a cache till you exit show.

Thanks for the replies. Looking at Kens log makes me assume that it must just be my machine. 5 1/2 hours seems far to long and I can't do anything else at the same time as it is so slow.
