It keeps saying recording failed during the burning process. I've never had
any DVD problems with Nero and the like, so am a bit perplexed as to why
Studio should start adding to my coaster collection. I then figured I'd
generate playable files with Studio and burn with something else - The files
are processed and saved in a folder - But I'm trying to find a way of
putting them onj a DVD with Nero. If I try to port them all across as a
batch of data I'm told I need to select "video compilation" - Then I try as
a video file I'm told there are a load of non-compliant files in the
Video_ts folder...

Is this an unusual problem?

I'm torn between upgrading to Studio 9 and hoping that that'll work, or
upgrading my DVD player to a 107, though I'd rather do neither if there's a
cheaper fix!

Any ideas?

TIA

I also were a novice (at 81) in November last year when my son arrived
with a sony mini. Had to get a 855 as I needed to burn some standard
tapes - that was the start. I use Roxio which you will never see
mentioned here as there is no trouble to speak of.

I once generated one single coaster but have since made 10-15 DVD's
that have gone off to UK. The only complaint after that was that they
had to buy a player for the TV

Try creating DVD files or an image using Studio and burn using Nero.

That's what I've been trying to do, although I concede I may not have
explained it too well.

Studio saves all the files in a folder named "auxilary files" - When I try
buying these files with Nero I can't find the right settings. It won't load
as an image. If I try burning as a DVD movie it tells me there are the
wrong sort of files in the video_ts folder, and if I try burning as a data
disc it tell me I need to burn as a DVD movie.

Still stuck! I'm currently having one last go at using Studios own disc
creation option.

Have you first used Setup/Make MPEG File/Presets/DVD Compatible ?

and....

Setup/Make a disc/DVD + Automatic + select Media and the correct Disk
writer device.

I'd also suggest that you ensure that you have the latest upgrade to
Studio 8 (V8.12.7).

I hadn't done that, but I've not got round to making an mpeg file yet...
Just was trying to the Studio fully author a dvd buy burn the files to my
hard drive instead of to DVD.

writer device.

I had done that, but didn't select automatic. I selected "best video
quality" - My clip was only 30 mins long anyway.

That was the first thing I did.

Oddly I've tried with a cheap and nasty DVDRW, and that's worked
faultlessly. I'm not too worried now, I'll just use Studio to burn onto RWs
and can make copies of those onto R only with Nero. I assume from that it's
some sort of media problem, though it's weird when other programs don't
stutter with Datawrite Yellows and FWS whites.

Thanks anyway - I'll get there in the end, I'm sure. :-)

It's always a good idea to download/install EndItAll and run it
immediately before doing any video work.
