Nero 6 Vision Express Transcoding Failure

[gangav]

I am trying to create a DVD with a combination of slideshows and movies using Nero 6 vision express. About an hour into the transcoding phase Nero bombs out claiming to have found transcoding errors.

The error log reads like this:
...
***BEGIN: _VOBS - Process VOB
...New VOB 1

...VOB1 CELL1 VOBU0 VOBU_S_PTM 26685 VOBU_E_PTM 73485 (209)

I am using a Ricoh 5125 DVD+RW, though I suspect it has nothing to do with the media format, because Nero hadn't even finished creating the MPEG2 files.

Do date I've managed to produce one tiny miniDVD - nothing larger

I'm running 2.4Gz w/512Mb & over 50Gb of free disk space.

Has anyone come across this problem?

Cheers

Nero support claims that this indicates an error in my AVI file, but didn't elaborate what. Does anyone have a clue?

I used Videofactory to capture part of a DV tape, cut out a section and rendered it to a file. The file is NTSC and my DVD project is PAL.
