When building or burning a DVD, the process stops at "Building movies".

This is commonly cause by file issues. The file can either be encoded improperly or corrupt altogether. In some cases, it's can be related to codecs on your system.


Resolution

Try these steps tp resolve this issue:

  1. Try reproducing with our test files (http://patches.sonic.com/TestMPEG.zip). These files were encoded by Sonic tot he exact specificationf or DVD authoring and should work flawlessly. If you cannot reproduce with the test files, re-encode the files as your files are either not compatible (check the settings you encoded at with the Help File included in DVDit) or have become corrupt.
  2. If the files import successfully, at what point does the build fail? To test, try building a disk image or DVD folder to your hard drive and try to determine at what point the buod fails.
  3. Other things to try:

    • Set the display properties to at least 1024x768, 16 bit color, 75Hz refresh rate.
