  1. I am trying to encode some videos that I have converted from VHS. I get this error when creating the DVD. I essentially used EasyCap to capture the video then Handbrake to make the video size smaller (a 120 min .avi video is 130 GB!). With Handbrake it brings it down to 1.5GB or so.

    "An Error occured during the encoding process

    -1 from EncodeAudio: Audio source was not corrected."




    Then I am given the error log. Some highlights from the log:

    Something about the file it doesn't like. Seemed to happen to DVD Flick once in a while.
    Perhaps give AVStoDVD a go

  3. DVDflick has not been updated in YEARS, so it has a tendency to choke on some file variations that other, more current apps like AVStoDVD might handle better. More likely in this case, Handbrake really messed with the file while reducing it to a tiny fraction of its original size: Handbrake is nifty but buggy, so your 1.5GB reduction file may also fail with AVStoDVD. A dead giveaway that the file is too funky for DVDflick is if it takes forever to load into the project window (many minutes instead of seconds).

    One workaround that seems to solve a huge percentage of DVDflick errors is to strip the audio from the source file with a separate utility prior to importing the video to DVDflick. Once the video file is loaded in the DVDflick project window, go to Edit Title>Audio>Add Audio Track. Navigate to your newly ripped audio track and add it, being sure to click the tiny checkbox on the left. Once loaded, it will appear beneath the original audio in the track list. Highlight the original audio track, and Remove it, so the project will now source audio from the new track you supplied. This trick almost always cures DVDflick error issues.

    The utility I use for this workaround is Avanti-GUI, an ffmpeg graphic front end. Navigate to the folder containing your problem video file, and select that title as the the Source and Destination titles. Choose an audio codec for the newly modified track: AAC usually works fine for most sources. Click the Start Process button, and the utility will create a new "repaired" replacement audio track for you within a couple of minutes. On very rare occasions, the source file is so funky even Avanti-GUI fails, but this has only happened to me one in fifty times. Other similar A/V utilities would probably also do the same job, I stay with Avanti-GUI simply because it was recommended to me as a "cure all" by a die hard DVDflick enthusiast years ago and it consistently regenerates audio tracks that give DVDflick fits.
