Trying to convert and burn a .mkv file to DVD using AVStoDVD.

Seems to work fine until approx 60% of the way through this error occurs: Process aborted during DVD AUTHORING operations! Check the following files more details:....

The FFmpeg converter also stops working.

[_MrC_]

For some strange reason, the menu page background image has been resized to 760x80 pixels, that is not DVD compliant.

Could you please run the same project with AVStoDVD 2.2.0 Alpha build 090616, which has several menu improvements?

Let me know



Bye

[Comrie19]

Run using new version. Seems to work up until the menu part in which case an error message like " FFMpeg video converter has stopped working." Closed that and the attached image appears. Following is the log.

Looking in the file directory I see that the Audio_TS folder is empty.

[_MrC_]

From the log file, I can understand that you made a "no menu" dvd and process ended without errors. Can you play the resulting DVD? Do not bother if AUDIO_TS is empty: it *must* be empty for DVD-Video.

About the menu creation error: if you have installed ffdshow as codec suite, please be sure that Video Decoder is setup as follow:
http://avstodvd.googlepages.com/ffdshow_video_decoder_config_1.png
http://avstodvd.googlepages.com/ffdshow_video_decoder_config_2.png

Now you can download and use AVStoDVD 2.2.0 Final.



Bye

[Comrie19]

I'll try that DVD. I tried another .mkv file and seemed to have no problems. I'll burn both tonight and see the final result. Thanks for your help.

[Comrie19]

DVD's work, thank you very much.

Now I have some questions about menu's. I added music to a menu but it only last about 5-10 seconds. Is there a way to make it go longer.
