hi bigorange,
It had been a while since I used DVD Lab so I went through the process with a short clip without any problems. I did not make any folders I just used the default locations for the output and temp folders.
In the temp folder lab put a couple of .bmp files and in the output folder it put the standard VIDEO_TS with all the .vobs .bups and .ifos.
I wonder if you were to just let it write to the default location if that would help. Its like the path to the folders you are writing to are not there. I would think that would give you an error or some indication of a problem though. I'm gonna post this and then tell Lab to write to my z drive and see if it will give me an error message. brb!
Ok it will not let you write to a non-exsistant drive, your floppy drive or anything else. You get an error message. So that must mean that your paths were correct but lab did not have an output. I think I would try a couple of things. The first being a short clip of something so you don't have to deal with your big project files during the experiments. There is also an option to do a Test Compile (replace all movies with dummy) That might be even better than using a clip because, whatever the dummy is, it should at least be compliant. If it fails on that then that means the compliancy of your original movie was not the problem. Besides that, lab always checks compliancy. I doubt that is the problem. It is like it sent the files to who knows where! Maybe you could try and use the lab burn engine...I have never tried it. I always burn with Nero...but I see it sitting there in the Post-Compile options...Got an R/W?
I'll tell ya man, I don't think Pro was ready to come out of beta yet. It may be a problem with the multiplexer, that was the last thing Oscar was working on. I had a hell of a time trying to get audio files to mux. No error messages, just couldn't get them to mux. He did fix that after I whined about it, so if you try and use audio that is missing the header info it will give an error message.
I'm looking at standard lab 1.3 while I'm writing this so I don't know how accurate my rambling is...I see some multiplexer options but I know Pro has a completly different set up. Heck Big O, you may want to just remove and re-install... all I can think of is that it is just not getting the paths right. I keep coming back to that because Lab will always give you an error if something is wrong. If it does not know it is sending your files to cyber-heaven then you won't get an error message.
I've got my e-mail posted at my website so if you want to bs some you can find it there.
