What is the problem when it says "failed video encode, aborted "?

[PERSHON]

I was trying to back up a band of brothers br dvd and the above message appeared. What should be my next step?

DVD or Blu Ray?
What software gave you the error message?

[jagabo]

Try something different. Since you provided no information on what software and settings you were using it's hard to give you specific suggestions.

Probably BDRB, that error message is not uncommon when BDRB is configured incorrectly.

If I'm right, run inspect.exe in the BDRB folder and post the results, also the full BDRB log.

And welcome to the forum.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING FOR THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY THE INSPECT.EXE LOG. I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS PART OF BDRB. AFTER POSTING IT I STARTED READING IT LINE BY LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT I NEEDED TO UPDATE ONE PROGRAM TO THE LATEST VERSION AND ALSO INSTALL ANOTHER. AFTER HAVING DONE THAT EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. THANKS AGAIN FOR HELPING A REAL NEWBIE.
