I've spent the past hour searching and reading postings and have yet to resolve issue.

My problem is that using SpruceUp (full), I can import TMPGEnc mpeg file fine (2 GB), setup menu and preview all fine.

When I try to export, Compiling gets to 20% (creating 323,720kb) and stops. No HD activity and no software. I can cancel and program continues fine. I just can't export this file: (encoded DVD VBR at 8k bps. I can do same thing with file encoded slower (VBR 8k-6-3) and it compiles to the end. I've tried file from different locations (multiple hard drives) with no luck.

My system is P4 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM 100GB hard drive. Can't imagine its a hardware issue.

Is there a 'maximum' bit rate (other then standard 9.5 DVD) for reason why SpruceUp won't compile? I love the program/design options, but would really like to author at as high a bit rate ass project/DVD disk will allow.

Any and all suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks!
