ok, i've been doing some dvd video authoring with ConvertXtoDvd
I havent had any problems in the past..
I was able to make the discs with ConvertXtoDVD, shrink them with DvdShrink, then burn them with NeroBRom
But now, all of a sudden, ConvertXtoDvd keeps freezing up, locking up my computer.. I cant even Ctrl-Alt-Delete out of it, i have to reboot the computer.
This is happening when i push convert, and usually a few minutes into the process. I should have enough memory, like i said, I've done like 15 converts with the software in the past 3 months with no problems. Now all of a sudden its locking up??? I dont get it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please tell us what version of ConvertXtoDVD you are using. That would help. I use ConvertXtoDVD ALL the time. Not an Expert but maybe a Novice.

i know why, turn off the preview function, your using version 3, its full of bugs, just turn off the preview, and have it at "normal" priority

well, if it only happened once, please refrain from using the phrase "keeps locking up", if it happens again in the near future, then post here.
Anyway, make sure you do regular updates on ConvetXToDVD, because version 3 is known to be extremely buggy at times

IMHO, the only solution is, update your convertxtodvd version, then report back here if you experience any problems

Well I was able to get the convert to work.. with my old version..
(cant remember which version.. but not too old.. the second or 3rd most recent one)
The version that locked up on me on the try before.. if worked for some reason after a bunch of tries.. on that particular burn.
I downloaded and installed the most recent version tho, just for the heck of it..
and it went from using like 100 mb's of memory(older version)
to like 1.66 gb's!!! of memory(newest downloaded version)
Also gave me error msgs galore when i tried to change the text in the text editor area for each file
omg.. i only have 384mb of memory.. .why did this one use up so much memory..
im gonna uninstall and reinstall the older version i had.
Besides the 1 particular attempt that locked up a few times.. i had success with it otherwise.(with past converts ect.)

ok this version uses up more memory and crashes more often.
But i was able to finish 2 converts after many attempts.
And what a waste of time...
it doesnt create completed video_ts folders, there is an error that makes a video_ts.vob file with a file size of 0 bytes in size. It creates all the files for each title/track except this one.
2 times in a row now. In the convertlog, there is 1 error msg with one of the files. I wil remove this 1 title and try again.
This error msg has nothing to do with the dozens of error msgs you get when you try to edit title text styles and thumbnails

When i said this version, i meant the absolute latest.. 3.1.1.25 or whatever. the most recent as of yesterday. Ever since i installed 3.1.1.24, things have been abnormal and much buggier... i have since tried 3.1.1.18 and then 3.1.1.25, i cant remember which version i originally had... Kinda sucks... i had less errors and bugs with the older version...
Thanks F4HAD who told me to update to newest version..
That is usually sound advice.. but not for all programs, and def not in this case..

Why don't you start from fresh? Use CleanVSO to completely uninstall ConvertXToDVD and its settings. Reboot. Reinstall the latest beta 3.1.0.26. You will need to re-register your key and reset all your settings.
http://forums.vso-software.fr/tool-to-co...duct-t3918.html
If this still locks up, then something's wrong with your system. Could be overheating. When was the last time you clean the dust inside your PC? Also use CCleaner to empty all the temp and cache files and do a defrag to see if this helps.
btw, providing the recent conversion log always helps.

Anyone know what this error msg means? or how to fix it?
this is the tail end of 4 hour process or so... It comes up on the end..
Here is a minor error with one file.. not a big deal
6/14/2008 4:24:34 PM warning No data in audio stream #4. Check source file.

I read on the net that an access violation error means the program isnt regustured..
Well mine is.. i can post pics if you want..
ok the last try i did i got the same access violation error.
but... instead of conversion failed,
i got a conversion finished.. in the log
but.. the main video_ts.vob file is still 0 bytes in size.. Its like all my titles are made into vob's.. except the main menu isnt..
Is there anyway to use the titles that are finished vob's and make a new main menu? Anyway i can use these all the working vobs?

I dont mean to keep bumping my thread..
im just kinda thinking out loud, so-to-speak..
troubleshooting for myself..
There is a avi file or 2 that doesnt show up properly in the preview window..So i wil retry tonight without those 2 titles..
Those error msgs from VLC player in my last post.. are all from the first title... not the main menu..
so not sure what that means...
all the vob's in the video_ts folder have their respectable file sizes , depending on how long they are, and they all work, except the main video_ts.vob
Also the directory has a MENU_SNAPS folder.. which usually doesnt show up there.. right alongside the video_ts and audio_ts folders.
Also inside the video_ts folder, there is a Muxer.Tmp TMP file with 0 bytes also...
Anyone know what any of this means? Any experience troubleshooting these?

I could use Nero Vision, but everytime i use a video instead of a still picture for my menu background, Nero Vision crashes.
I cant find any other programs that allows you to have video for a background.. as thats the major difference between diff authoring software from what ive seen. Dvdflick.. Total Video Converter..TheFilm Machine... ImTOO Dvd Creator...DVD Styler... some others i may have forgotten..
None of them allow for video backgrounds.. which is the only thing im really wanting the most, any of them can make dvds, but hardly any allow for video menu backgrounds..bummer really...

i think these are there while converting, and when TOTALLY FINISHED! they go away leaving whats needed to burn to dvdr

yeah i figured they were..temporary.. and they disappear once the convert finishes..
its weird the 1 attempt said convert complete while another attempt said convert failed
Anyways...
So ive been using vlc player to open up the files..
all the _0.vob's are chapter menus
all the _1.vob's are the actual titles
for example.. VTS_01_0.VOB is title #1's chapter menu
----------and VTS_01_1.VOB is title #1
So, with no main vob to use them,(aka..a main menu), how do i do this?
Can i make a custom dvd menu for these files?
I am using video for my main menu background too...
What other programs allow for video main menus?
