DVD Maestro, "Invalid Frame Rate" w/menu

[shorton]

Greetings:

Using Maestro to compile a DVD I'm getting an invalid frame rate error. I found it only happens if I have the menu in place. Them menu is a simple still image 4 button menu created with DVD Menu Studio. If I remove the menu, all compiles fine. Add it back, no luck.

PC with Intel MB:P4-3.0 800FSB, (2)200GB HDs.

Thanks very much for any sugestions and help.

Cheers,
Scott

I realise this is a year on from the original question, but if anyone is interested I have found the solution!

The critical thing is this:

PC with Intel MB:P4-3.0 800FSB

The P4 is treated by the PC as a dual processor, and it seems Maestro doesn't like this. I've just spent days re-creating menus using different software, only to find the problem persists. The way round it is this:-

With Maestro running, control+alt+delete to bring up the Task Manager.
Click the Processes tab.
Right-click dvdmaestro.exe in the "image name" column.
Click on "Set Affinity"
Un-check the CPU1 box.

Hey presto - Maestro will now function correctly!

Hey:

I'm still subscribed, so thanks for the belated help. I found that the dual cpu was the problem. I found a program that works to set it to one. Don't remember where I found it, google for it. I used ti in a batch file that I call instead of the executable to start maestro:

cd [my maestreo exe directoyr]
start maestro.exe
process -a maestro.exe 01
exit

That has been working for me and is more automated.

Thanks again,
Scott
