Create DVD failure

davidrule1 · **17th March 2007, 11:41 PM**

Hi there, i'm from the UK and have been having difficulties creating dvds on mce 2005.

I have installed the sonic encoders and the nvidia purevideo codec, and that did solve the 'unsupported file type' problem that i originally had.

However, now when i add a tv show to a dvd and click on create dvd, within seconds of starting, it comes up with a 'create failure' message and ejects the dvd.

Could anybody please help me with my problem?

Many thanks,

Dave.

Hey Dave

I can't do them either in MCE. I have loaded all the stuff you have and I converted a file (from DVR-MS to MPEG using VideoRedo) and it says Unsupported File Type. The one in Vista seems to just fall over - the DVD creator app.

Don't know why this is but I am gonna do a bit of research unless someone else knows. If you convert them to WMV it would probably work. It could be the video is over the amount of time, the size is too large (remember 4.35G for normal DVD or 8.5G for dual-layer) or even MCE has a bug. But give me a while and I'll suss it out...

Cheers Dave and good to see you here mate.

I'd try the free trial of Nero7.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and ask you to look at the Application Windows Event Log (right-click on "My Computer" in the Start menu, click Manage, expand the "Event Viewer" tree on the left, and click on "Application"). I bet there's a number of entries in the right-hand pane for SonicMCEBurner errors, which each give a similar description with lots of "excp'n"s and one "invalid media type".

That is my problem - I can use a limited range of blank DVD media, but whenever I try to use a dual-layer blank DVD (-R or +R)...

Yes, my burner can do all types, including DL disks (it's a Pioneer DVR-111D, updated to 1.29) - it just seems like sonicencoders.msi can't.

Can anyone else out there do it?
