To answer the first part of your question, it depends on how you're recording the VHS tape to DVD. Around 20 years ago, Panasonic released the first DVD Video Recorder. It and subsequent manufacturers and models had different video quality settings you could use. VHS quality meant you could record 2...

Line In is very unreliable. I once tried to record a 2 hour Dr. Demento Show that way. But, any kind of use of the HDD, which was the target for recording, caused the audio to drop out repeatedly over the entire length of the recording. I stopped using Line In once I developed the method to video ta...

I used CXD to make DVD's out of my father's funeral service and of my grandmother and grandfather on my mother's side. They all died before they started releasing recordings of the services on CD; they were on audio cassettes. So, I copied the cassettes to VHS by connecting my tape player, which is ...

Well, given the extremely old age of CXD 4, I don't know if this will help you or not. However, this is what I think you need to do on CXD 7 to remove video from a menu. Edit Menu --> Advanced Edit --> Right click anywhere on the menu that isn't a button or a title field and choose Edit background -...

Ah, my AVIDeMux solution probably wouldn't have worked here unless you changed Audio from Copy to some other compression so some kind of conversion would be done. My suggestion only affected the Video.

Those steps with AVIDeMux are what I use when I have a problematic file that won't convert in CXD. I do a lot of conversion of my VHS tapes to DVD. This produces a raw source that CXD sometimes chokes on. So, it must be converted to a different container with different software. However, even those ...

As I said, it's good, whatever works. In the future, though, it is my sage advice. :) When in doubt, first reboot. For any and all issues where you can reboot, try rebooting first. You'd be amazed at how many times the seemingly most complex issues can be fixed with so simple a thing as rebooting. I...

It seems the input file with the partial name Playboy After Dark - S02E13 - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marty Ingels, Noel Harrison - 1970-02-20 is the culprit. It's probably not authored correctly. Given it's name, it sounds like this file may have been downloaded? I'd say about 25% of down...

A reboot shouldn't have mattered, but whatever works works!


Did you try rebooting the system any time since reporting this CXD issue here? It may have simply just been an issue where a reboot may have fixed the problem. When it doubt, first reboot. :)

I did some searching. I have 3 VSO folders that would apply directly to the program execution in this case:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VSO

C:\ProgramData\VSO

C:\Users\<My Windows Account Name>\AppData\Roaming

That / could be a typo. It depends upon if the error message is one that the programmers typed in or if the program is piping in the folder name from somewhere else and it's getting a / in there, which could result in a problem depending on the program logic. Well, I THINK, and this is how stupid th...

One thing I noticed before is "ProgramData/VSO." Folders cannot have a / in their names. It must be \. The folders in question would be in the User folder and not the Program Files (x86) one, most likely. To check for Read Only, right click on a folder in File Explorer and choose Propertie...

That's where I'd start, at least. With uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Then, proceed to make sure those AppData, etc. folders actually exist where they say they should be. And, if they are, make sure the folders aren't Read Only or contain any Read Only files.

I've used every gold release of CXD 7.x, including 0.69 which I'm on now. Every job I've saved in 7.x has been compatible with 0.69.

If you're talking about the Title Menu pages, Page 1 being Episodes 1-11 and Page 2 being Episodes 12-22, then try this. Press the Edit Menu button in the upper left side pane under DVD & Menu options. Choose Advanced Edit. In the left side pane, there's Title menus at the top and beneath that t...

Sorry, I should have searched the forum first for that message before posting to see if it had been posted by someone else.

This isn't really a "bug," more like a grammatical error. If CXD chokes on converting an input file, it cancels off. The error message, though, says "Conversion cancelled by user" when, in fact, the conversion was cancelled by the software itself. I know this wording has caused c...

Under Menu Options, does checking Don't create title menu for single file do what you want to accomplish? Try enabling that setting if it isn't, recreate the project, and see if that gets what you want.

Since it worked fine at points in the past, it seems there's some kind of configuration problem somewhere. Hopefully, it's with CXD and can be cured up by a reinstall of the application. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling CXD?

You add it as you would any other type of audio track to a DVD. As long as you have this descriptive audio in some kind of container file that CXD can import, like MP3, etc., it should work. When you have the Title you have added that you want to add the descriptive audio to, you will see Video, Aud...
