What disturbed me is that the newer system was not that much faster. I installed on the second system with the same results. Thanks for your help, but it looks to be a lost cause for me. Do you know if the higher end products work directly with m2ts files and avoid all of this processor intensive converting, decoding and encoding that is needed with EMC2009? On a side note, all of the converting, decoding and encoding that is taken place in the process from my HD camcorder to the final DVD makes me nervous about quality. Particularly considering the 8 hours to do such a small project on my main system.
I have a second, newer PC that I may install CR2009 on and see if I get better/different results. I'll know in another 8 hours if that's the trick. I've updated DirectX and I'm giving my original DVD project another try. Thanks for the offer to try it on your side.Ĭurrently, Roxio Support has suggested that I update my DirectX drivers and DVD burner firmware (again!). When I burned that to an ISO file it worked (that is I didn't get the error message, but I haven't tested the ISO). I used that short video file in a new AVCHD on DVD project. My system info: Dell Dimension 8400, XP Home SP3, P4 3.6GHz, 2.25 GB RAM, 300+ GB free HD, NVidia GeForce 8500GT w/ 1GB, EMC 2009 Standard SP3 (Build 111B10E ENU)įollowing your suggestion, I used VideoWave and took one of the video clips and made a 10-second clip from it. And if I'm burning to an ISO file, the DVD is not relevant either. What good is that going to do? Never during the 8 hours of encoding the video is the DVD accessed. They also suggested I try updating my DVD burner's firmware. Roxio support has suggested that I try updating the PX Engine. And this is just 15 minutes worth of video!! What happens when I want to do a big project?! My system meets their specs (see below), but are the specs not accurate for this purpose? What makes this more frustrating is that it takes 8 hours to get to this failure point. Either way I get the following error: Project_BuildToDevice() AuthorScript call failed.
After EMC converts my two m2ts files (from my Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder) into mp4 (hopefully, they are still HD), I tried to burn direct to disc and later I tried to create an ISO. I'm using the AVCHD on DVD with menus option. I have a small project with two m2ts video files (428 MB & 848 MB). Just starting to use EMC 2009 and my first easy test is not going well.
