Re: Conversion problem

Years ago, I used to use 2 pass encoding, but I stopped doing it then. A bug was introduced into 2 pass encoding that caused the first few seconds of video to be solid green on all projects. I reported it, but tech support said they couldn't recreate it. I could, however, on all projects, and restor...

Re: Nero Platinum Suite 2020

I feel the same way. Nero became bloatware and I've not used their products for like 15 years. Same with Norton.

Re: Is there a sound event for operation complete if

You should get some kind of audio that says "OPERATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED" even if you're just writing the files to VIDEO_TS on your HD. I never burn DVD's, just always write to VIDEO_TS on my HD. And I always get the audio saying the operation has been completed. You may want to go into y...

Re: Problem converting MKV file

Also, try using conversion software to convert the MKV to another file container format like MP4. I've often had CXD bomb out on MKV files that worked fine when converted to MP4. Doesn't always work, but it's worth a try.

Re: VRO load/conversion error

Every other VRO I've ever fed into ConvertXToDVD, including one I made just a few weeks ago, works fine. And they were all made by the same Panasonic recorder. Turns out it's something intrinsic in this one VRO. I made a smaller test VRO with 4 2 minute recordings and CXD imported that VRO fine. The...

VRO load/conversion error

I submitted this bug through the bug reporting tool in 7.0.0.68, but I've discovered some more pertinent information that invalidates a previous statement I made. There's an error when importing certain VRO files for conversion. I had a near 2 hour of contents on a VRO, but the software was only imp...

Re: Serious BUG Need some advice please

Looks like a typo by the OP. The E and R keys are right next to each other.

Re: Unable to convert video file

I've often found files that fail to load for conversion can be gotten to load by saving the file as another file type format. Like from MKV to MP4. I use AVIDeMux for such a thing.

Re: First few seconds of video files missing

In AVIDeMux, did you try changing the target format file type to something like MKV? If that still doesn't work for these problematic files, try instead of using Copy for the Video format, try changing it to something like MPEG 4 AVC (x264). Sometimes "recompiling" by saving an entirely ne...

Re: First few seconds of video files missing

Yes, the only solution I found to these problematic MP4's is to load them in AVIDeMux and save them again as a new MP4 or a new file type format. No other changes need to be made in AVIDeMux when saving these MP4's to a new MP4. It may not work for you, but you can try it for yourself and see if it ...

Re: 7.0.0.64

I believe the Downloader in question in the aforementioned post is the software VSO Downloader. That it's still being updated as I believe an update to VSO Downloader was recently released.

DVD main menu titles bug in 7.0.0.31 Final

The DVD main menu title cannot be changed in 7.0.0.31 Final. It imports the file name of the first input file as the DVD main menu title and this cannot be changed. Even if you change the Project Name, the main menu title is not changed.
