Compiler Error: Invalid Frame Rate

Build canceled

---

it doesn't only happen on that menu, it happens on any random menu. the highest it has ever gotten is to menu 13 i believe.

i can't figure out what the problem is, and i tried searching but couldn't find anything.

i will provide any information needed, just let me know.

please help.
thanks.

does your menus have video motion background? what is the video source then?

Easy to fix. This is to do with using CPUs that have hyperthreading or are multi-core.

To fix this, bring up windows task manager (CTRL ALT DEL). Under "Processes" find "DVDMaestro.exe". Right-click it and "Set Affinity". UNCHECK one of the CPUs.

You need to do this every time you start the program, but you will never get the "invalid frame rate" error again.

thank you skeg64. what you told me to do helped stop the problem

i would have never thought it was a program problem, since i have been having errors gallore trying to get these file ready for DVD compilation and have run into problem after problem.

thanks again!

PS: Baldrick: my menu's don't have video motion background. i haven't delved that deep into menu creation yet... maybe later. right now i just want to complete the DVD iam working on. the problem is fixed now, but thanks for replying.

WOW ! WOW ! One year after you posted this, you saved my life

I have recently upgraded to a dual core CPU and this error drove me CRAZY this weekend, it only happens on static menus, randomly, I have just built a DVD with 8 static menus and couldn't compile it after hours trying

I'll try this patch at home tonight !

THANKS VERY VERY MUCH !!
