Problem with NeroVision Express

[GeeksAreUs]

Hello,

This is my first time posting to this forum and I hope someone can help. I will do my best to describe the problem and things I have tried.

I am looking for an actual answer to my problem and not a recomendation to try different software...I understand that some people do not like or recommend NeroVision and that is cool, but that's not my issue in this post. PLEASE, if you feel the need to tell me that NeroVision sucks, then wait for me to create a post on software recomendations

I have been authoring DVDs for a few months using avi video files ranging from 350mb to 750mb. I have created about 24 DVDs and never had an issue until a few days ago.

When I create this one DVD, NeroVision makes .tmp files that fill my entire hard drive and crash the software. The problem seems to be about 3/4 way through the transcoding. It will start creating .tmp files and not stop...until the hard drive is filled to capacity. We are taling about close to 80gig of .tmp files. I have also tried creating the DVD on a different machine but run into the same problem.

The video is an .avi file with the xvid codec (the same as all the other files I have been using)...I can find no difference between this file and any others I have used in the past (or since).

I have sucessfully created other DVDs since having the problem...it seems to be local to this one file. The file does not appear to be corrupt in any way.

I am using a P4 2.8 with 1024mb of ram and 80gig free on a 120gig sata drive.

All drives have been fully defraged & cleaned of all spyware, viruses & clutter.

Thank you in advance for your help.

What is the audio codec? Use gspot to identify it.

I always use several tools when converting downloaded videos...some just wont work with some tools.

Thanks for the quick reply,

The audio codec is listed in Gspot as "0x0055(mp3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3"

This is the same listing that shows for similar videos that burned correctly.

Thanks again.
