sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt!?

[everlast]

I really like this app, but when i converted one movie it worked fine, then i did the exact same thing with another file but the CD was CD1 and CD2 and on the meny after conversion and burning it said: "title of the movie" CD1 and "title of the movie"CD2 but when i turned on cd2 after watching CD1 it was a replica of CD 1!? the movie began all over again on cd2 im sure it has somethings with the setting to do but wich one??? i dont have any log file to apply but i now that it didnt say anything weird. and sometimes it burns but still it doesnt, so when the DVD ejects its empty but the log says the burn was sucsessfull,and it recogniced mu burner and everything and sometimes it burnes, but one movie got all screwed up, it got stuck in still frames and so on...totally unwatchable. and those that worked were burned in the exakt same way with the exakt same settings.. so..sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i can add that i burned them all in the same speed(8x) and with the same DVD-R so now i just take the TS_Vide ond audio_TS and burn them i nero, but i wanna use this app, to its full potential, but since the log doesnt tell me anythings wrong...what to do? any ideas from u with experience peace..

We really need 2 see conversion logs. Without those it will just be guesses. So if u could make another conversion and add those logs here.

One hint - shorten names, windows garbles on long folder+filenames sometimes. Then, logs show that your movie was converted fine. Your media is crap, and might be the reason. Check converted folder, you can open video_ts in there with any DVD-player software. If there is working video then your problems are due media.

[everlast]

ok, my media is crap? u mean the quality of the DVD-.s i use?i have always used the same DVD:s as i mentioned earlier, and someimes it works fine. "One hint - shorten names, windows garbles on long folder+filenames sometimes. " exaktly what d o you mean? Peace

[JJ]

[everlast]

ok, thanx! ill try and shorten the name, including the folder name, do you think the burning speed has something to do with it? cause when i burned one movie that was totally messed up when i burned it on the max setting it worked fine when i set it to 1x.. what do you think?

[Netranger]

Burning speed can be a big issue so 2 say, when burning on Low Quality Media, such as CMC. I wouldn't burn those faster then 2x. I would recommend u got get some Quality Media like, Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or Maxell. Verbatim - Made In Taiwan = MCC Dye Verbatim - Made In Japan = TY Dye Maxell - Made In Japan = TY Dye Take a look on this site for more info about Media Quality http://digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

[everlast]

"would recommend u got get some Quality Media like, Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or Maxell. Verbatim - Made In Taiwan = MCC Dye Verbatim - Made In Japan = TY Dye Maxell - Made In Japan = TY Dye " what exactly does MCC Dye, TY Dye mean? Peace forevereverlasting

[Cougar_II]

Hi there, MXL (Hitachi/Maxell) MCC (Mitsubishi Chemicals) TY (Taiyo Yuden) These are the codes of the companies who makes the dye. Verbatim uses MCC and some TY. Taiyo Yuden uses their own TY. I had some Maxell DVD-R 4x Made In Japan with Media id: MXL ... and they are great quality.

[everlast]

cool!thanx! one last question, how come when i burned a movie that was in 2 cd: it said cd1 and cd2 but cd 2 was a replica of cd1? Peace.

[Cougar_II]

Hi there, Post us the full conversion log of that conversion. I have heard of this once or twice but never experienced it. Also make sure you test with the latest version v2.1.0 The above log was not complete, so we did not see what version you were using

[everlast]

i use the latest version heres the log file of the movie where cd to was a replica of cd 1: 006-09-14 11:18:16 info --------------Encoding end-------------- 2006-09-14 11:18:16 info Media name: "My DVD" 2006-09-14 11:18:16 info Burned folder: "C:\Documents and Settings\Niklas Andersson\Mina dokument\ConvertXDVDresultat\Miami.Vice.TELECINE.XViD.PROPER-PUKKA.CD1\" 2006-09-14 11:18:11 info New media inserted.

Log shows that you have both parts, Cd1 and Cd2 on same DVD, so if you try to make two DVDs .. well, useless, and they will be copies.
