DVDMaestro Problem

[CerielTjuh]

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago I got my own DVD writer and I started to search some information about how to make a DVD.
First I made one with a simple tool, but 2 weeks ago I got DVDMaestro @ the local Computer Store.

I tried to make my own DVD and it worked, but I have one problem:
I encoded a Divx to DVD (PAL) and It took me ages but it worked and the movie was greath on the Computer, I inserted it into DVDMaestro and I made some Menu's and some extra options and started to create the DVD (image with DVDMaestro) I first tried the menu's on the computer and watched the DVD. Everything was ok, but when I burned the DVD it did not work, I could see the movies but it was not a LIVE movie, it had some sort of glitches (jumps from one frame to another) What am I doing wrong? The programmes I used: DVDMaestro - TMPenc - Virtual Dub (for the Audio) is this a Authoring question or something else, because I do'n't know....

Thnx, Civo

P.S. YES I followed the How-to on this page and I did everything correctly.....

Okay, first off, DVDMaestro hasn't been sold for about a year and a half, so don't give us that you picked it up at your computer store! Did you create a Video Title Set (ie, a set of DVD files on your HD) or an image (yourvideo.IMG)?

How did you burn your DVD (what program)?

What kind of media did you use?

Was the jerkiness all over the disk, or only in certain areas?

Did you create your DVD in PAL format?

that is prettty funny

First of all, I DID buy DVDMaestro a few weeks ago, I can Scan in the bill if you want, it was in a box with al sorts of old DVD programms.

I did create a DVD Title Set, AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS
I burned the Files with Nero Burning rom, latest edition.
I am Using a MMore DVD-R with 4.7 GB.
Was the jerkiness all over the disk, or only in certain areas? (what do you mean?)
And yes I created the DVD in PAL format.

Greets me

Don't scan the bill (I could whip one of those up for you in an instant), but scan the DONGLE and the INSTALLATION CD. Then I'll believe you!

Never heard of MMore disks. How fast did you try to burn this puppy?

[CerielTjuh]

I burned the DVD on 1speed and I turned off all programs, I also closed down all programs during encoding and compiling the files....

you should sell it on ebay with the dongle for about 6000$+ (really) and buy adobe encore or dvdlab or something like that instead .. and have enough left over to buy a really nice computer and monitor(s) ..

Are those programmes better or??

[CerielTjuh]

anyone???

[BJ_M]

not nessesarly better - but encore promises to be just about as good for almost most things ..

dvdlab is getting better and better also-- lots of newer authoring apps are pretty good ..

maestro IS good -- but if you dont need some its features -- might as well sell it and make some money ..

[CerielTjuh]

But what is the problem? What am I doing wrong? encoding? DVDMaestro compiling??

please....

BJ_M -

this thread has given me the best laugh I've had all day.

you get the scan of that dongle yet?

[BJ_M]

im still waiting for the scan of the dongle -- a nice full color manual goes out at cost to someone (as in above) who can show me one (and i have an orig. one to compare it to, so no scams)



CerielTjuh - your problem is in your encoding (maybe) but without more details (your settings etc) -- it would be hard for someone to say what the problem is ..

[JamesB69]

how much did you pay for it? Walmart was selling them for 100 bucks or you could get replacement dongles for 10

some people really know how to contrive some shit, huh? On another note, how bout' I scan my "dingle" and upload here....nah...my scanner isn't that big.

sure why not -- as long as it has the number and product code printed on it as does a dongle (and its visable in the scan) .. go for it !!

on another note -- i hate usb dongles because i have to have usb enabled - but then again having 4 dongles plugged into each other on the par. port is rather untidy also (and sometimes doesnt work)..

You can't BUYthis kind of entertainment!!!

Mabye he "found" it?
People misplace out of production software all the time :P

Anyway CerielTjuh, if you were to offer some more specific details, I'm sure someone would be able to help

LMAO...being as my "DINGLE" is my "dingle" ling.....I don't think there is any product code or manufacturer ID's on it......however, many have been served!...too bad there isn't an "automatic" counter on it...like a web page viewer counter.....


I did get a good laugh out of this post....too bad noone asked the original poster "how much" they paid for this "hidden treasure" at the "LOCAL" computer store.......I hope they never commit any type of serious crime...the investigators would have a feast with someone like that.....gotta think mang!

i did get "it" -- but i was trying (lame?) attempt at dry humour ...

[defense]

lmao...I figured you did......just wasn't 100% sure.....at any rate...you are right....that was "DRY" humor......I guess you can't have Brains & Humor too...huh? Just playin' with ya!
