Hello all. I have WinXP Pro SP2 all updated, an AMD 3400+ system with one gig of RAM. Nero Ultra v7.x.x is acting totally wierd. By that I mean, starting from the desktop, I load SmartStart up, kill all unused progs out of the systray, select DVD-Video and then add my AVIs, ensure I don't go over 4.7 gig, ask it to >write< to a folder for later burning. I go to bed and awaken to... nothing! The folder I targetted is completely empty. Nero has apparently closed itself because I'm sitting back at the desktop. I've checked for a log, none exists. I've checked for an App Error in "Manage Computer" - it's silent except for a string of goofy errors having to do with the Telephony Service being disabled.
Anyone else have this experience? I've tried the same AVIs three times now with the same results. Nero just looks like it gives up but doesn't give me any indication why.
Download VSO's ConvertXtoDVD and try using that for the conversion. If it works, the AVI file is likely OK and the problem is with Nero 7. If ConvertX doesn't work, the AVI file is hosed.
Have you tried uninstalling Nero 7, running the Nero 7 Clean Tool, and reinstalling. You didn't mention which version of Nero 7 you have. Some versions are really buggy. The latest version 7.5.9.0 seems OK.
OK, must've been something corrupted in the older Nero. I had version 7.2.1.x (pretty old, eh?). I upgraded to version 7.5.9.0. Am now getting all the way through the transcoding process with good results! Thanks people.
