Exporting clip sequence

[adrian_mullins@yahoo.com]

I purchased this software and its great for creating videos. The problem is it just wont burn to DVD. I have contacted support and done all the usual things they say. Even purchased different DVDs in an attempt to get it to work. After many hours I am about to uninstall and give up as an expensive mistake. Before I do that I would like to export into, say Word, a lsit of all the clips so I can recreate in a new program that does burn to DVD. Can anyone please help

You tried burning at a lower speed?

 

An alternative: create an ISO file by choosing that item in the EXPORT|DVD|Movie Disc "burner" drop-down menu. Then burn the ISO to DVD using this free software. http://www.imgburn.com/

 

You can also try burning from the image file with VP. Don't insert a disc until it prompts with these choices: "retry" - "computer file" - "ISO image file."

If still no joy, your burner may be defective.

 

Tested a :30 production here with a DVD/RW. Though it took inordinately long to finalize that disc, which might be expected with RW media, VP threw a SCSI error at completion.

However, the burn was successful. This fault has been reported by others.

Hi

The DVD generation part of videopad only writes the project to the disc in a single playable form. It will not add menus, play buttons etc. or add more than one project to the disc. Indeed, there have been a few posts saying that it doesn't complete the disc.

 

I would suggest the best way is to save your finished project/s to your PC as separate avis (or similar) and then use a third party dedicated DVD creator to produce your DVD. This way you can have previews, menus and choice buttons.

If you have Windows movie maker then you will probably also have Windows DVD maker which will do the job.

I prefer DVDStyler which is a free DVD creator program and which gives you full control over nearly all aspects of the creation process.

Another free program is the SoThink DVD maker. This does a similar job but, if you haven't bought the software it places a green advert screen between each film (or at every bookmark if you have used these). It's not particularly annoying though, otherwise it is free to use with no time restriction apparently and the results are good otherwise.
