Hello,
I am VERY new to digital video and am having some trouble and would greatly appreciate your advice. I have always used MYDVD version 4.5.2 (Windows 2000 Pro) to capture and burn my digital videos and had no problems. I would capture direct from my camera then burn to DVD using MYDVD. I have upgraded my PC and am still using Windows 2000 Pro. Just got finished capturing 4 digial tapes and all went well. When I started to burn to DVD I got the message "Could not complete the last command becuse: OS err (OSErr, 331778). Since I am using the same OS as before I don't understand why there should be a problem. Any suggestions?
Would it help if I were to upgrade to Windows XP. I am not comfortable with Vista just yet.
If so, I feel I will need new software to capture and burn since I feel MyDVD version is probably too old to run on XP. What would you recommend? I am looking for something SIMPLE. This is something I do once a year and don't want to get overly involved in the technical aspects of this hobby.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I am using Service Pack 4. What do you think my problem is?
Thanks -
Yes , its a pick , wish they made these errors more sensible .
Two area's :
One relates to program unable to gain exclusive use of the burner ... the other blame's media that is used .
Start with shutting down all unnecessary running task's , and those in background (Ctrl + Alt + Del) ... just kill off things such as quicktime , anything using "read" in its name , incd is a bad one from nero , ipodservices , opware (scanner crapware) , wrtproc + wrtmon , ctfmon (a headache for shutdown) , ect , before trying again .
Questions :
A: What was the media being used ... just in case , new pc , brand and model of burner .
B: Did the software come with the other systems burner as oem package ?
C: Have you tried + .
D: Round about method , output to folder from mydvd , and see if imgburn takes care of the burning to media
Should track the problem to one or the other from here . -

Thanks for the reply.
Last night I tried to burn again. I shut down everthing possible that was running. Still did not work. All seems to be going well until the very end of the operation. Then I get the message. In answer to your questions:
1. I am using Verbabatim media. The PC was built for me in 05. Using Windows 2000 Pro as an OS.
Burner is an AOpen S/N 53101692JE
2. The software (MyDVD) came with my prior PC and is version 4.5.2. It was part of an OEM
package.
3. Have not tried "-" media. It was my understanding that if I wanted to play the movies on
various devices I needed to use the "+" media.
4. I looked at the imgburn software and am willing to give it a shot. You indicate I need to
"output to folder from mydvd". How do I do this?
Do you think if I upgrade to Windows XP and purchase the newest version of MyDVD it will solve my problem? I know most users, who are serious about this hobby, don't like MyDVD but I like it because it is simple.
You have been very kind to offer advise and your continued advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. -
Upgrading to xp and the lastest mydvd would solve the fault .
"-" is more compatible than "+".
I cant say if mydvd being oem , was locked to the drive it came with ... I will need to ask a friend on that .
Nero burning rom was supposed to ... said on package it would only work with the drive it came with , but never ran into that problem with swapping drive's .
As for how mydvd outputs , it may be under "File" in the gui .
What they call it , I don't know , but when you find it , select "vob DVD Compliant" for output type .
When that's completed , files should look
Audio_ts = empty folder
Video_ts = your vob files here
In imgburn > mode > build
Also set "output" to file
There will be a box called "source" , and the area under that has no name .
To the right of this area is a yellow folder icon , click it
Select folder > audio_ts
Repeat , and select > video_ts folder
Go down to destination area , this is where you select location for generated iso image ... do not save it in the same folder containing audio_ts / video_ts folders .
Up and right is a tab "label"
Enter name in both volume label iso9660 and udf
Down and left , hit the big picture (folder > image file)
And wait
When done > mode > write
Set "output" to device
Stick a blank dvd in drive and wait a moment
Source > click the icon with magnifying glass , and select iso image just created
Set burn speed to half media's max , or better at 4x
Click the icon down left to start burning
Should project exceed 4.3gig , and dl be used , imgburn will pop open a new window with options to set appropriate layer break ... best set to 50/50 .
Should imgburn indicate issue , check media used is genuine with dvd_Identifier ... if it is , check for firmware update for dvd burner in use , update , try again .
