Ulead DVD MovieFactory 2 Error message

[atashy]

I get a error massage every time I use the Movie factory, anyone come across this or knows what could be wrong?

[FOO]

It would help some if you would supply some details of
what you are trying to do with what files

[atashy]

I started with a xvid .avi file and want to get it on a DVD. I have extracted the sound then used TMPGEnc to make an mpg file then tried to author it in Movie factory and burn it on the DVD. All fine until I get to the Movie factory file it comes up with an error some where near the end of authoring. I have checked the file and found to be OK.
Is there an easier way getting form xvid to DVD?

[FOO]

What was the MF2 error if I might ask. Was it the same as above ?

[atashy]

Yep Evey time

[FOO]

I suupose there is no way to find out what that error is from Ulead ?
Probably not. try anyway

[FOO]

It just occurred to me that MF2 appears to be trying to CONVERT the file.
Why would it do that if its already compliant ?
What are the encoding settings ?
720 x 480 MPEG2 4000 kbps MP2 audio 48000 s/s ?

Have you set "do not convert compliant files" ?

How long does it take to get the error ?

What are the exact properties of the MPEG file?

For example, my Panasonic MPEG files have the following specific properties:

NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 Bits, 704 x 480, 29.97 fps
Field Order B
(DVD-NTSC), 4 : 3
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8800 kbps)
Audio data rate: 256 kbps
MPEG audio layer 2, 48 KHz, Stereo

How do the properties of your SOURCE MPEG compare?
