Spruce problems

[Dave Knowles]

Hi,

I have been trying to make a DVD using Spruce. I made the MPEG file using TMPGEnc and it dropped into Spruce ok but when I asked it to make the DVD it hung at 23% of the compilation. An error message came up when I cancelled the comiplation "Title set was not sucessfully created". It did produce the following files Video_TS.VOB, VTS_01_0.VOB and VTS.01_1.VOB.

Can anyone help by trying to explain what may be going wrong?

[eatin sammiches for lunch]

what are your pc specs, and how long did it hang at 23 % before u cancelled it?


just asking because as i dont have a fast system (600mhz P3) and when i create a title set within spruce up it compiles pretty quickly until a certain point like around 17% in my case then at that point it compiles much much slower and takes awhile before its done.


because it looks like itz started to create a title set.....


has this problem only happened with that particular movie?

It is the first time that I have tried Spruce.

My computer is a Duel Pentium 650 with 1gb of RAM.

It stuck at 23% for abot 3 to 4 hours.

The movie is very long about 45 mins.

The % counter on spruce up sometimes stops... Restart spruce up and reload your file, you may find it loads straight up coz spruce up has already made the nessecary m2v.prv and ac3.prv files

I will give it a try. How long will it take to make the files for a 45 min movie?

Since my last posting I have now left Spruce all day and half the night to make a DVD and all it got to was 23%. Any more ideas.
