Try what I suggested. :) While it isn't a DVD converter, it should convert your file to a file CXD won't choke on. I do it every time CXD chokes on an input and I can't think of a single time where it didn't fix the issue.

If that's what that error means, you can try something else, too, in the meantime, if you're inclined. Download and install a piece of freeware called AVIDeMux. Load this file where you get this pop up on it into AVIDeMux. Change the Video from Copy to something else; I use x264. I would also change...

Video streaming sounds more you're trying to download a video from an online site versus converting a container to DVD. I don't know why CXD would pop up a window like that.


Can you capture a screenshot of what precisely pops up when you encounter this?

7.0.0.78 could be the latest beta version. The latest gold release is 7.0.0.77. Or 7.0.0.78 could have been a typo.

Next, if you haven't already, I would try yoyo's suggestion of uninstalling and reinstalling CXD with those options mentioned.

CXD sometimes does not properly fully import the complete duration of a file. I've generally only seen it on .VRO files, though.

There's one way to see if the file is corrupt. You say if you add a 3rd file, conversion fails. Add 3 files to a job and try to convert them. If it fails to convert those 3 files all together, then try converting each one one at a time by itself. If each converts on its own, then you know it's not a...

Unless you used the same files before where it was working with more than 2 files and it STILL fails at 2 files, then, most likely, it's failing on this 2nd input file for being corrupt for some reason. Try encoding each one separately as a test to see if you can isolate if it's one of the two files...

In the meantime, try this. Install a piece of freeware called AVIDeMux. Load this input file you're having pixelation on it and save it with a different Video codec. Don't use Copy. Try x264. Those seem to work for me. Save the resulting output file, which given it appears to be a Blu-Ray rip of abo...

Are these pixelated VIDEO_TS results played when you open VIDEO_TS.IFO from a hard drive or when you play a DVD disc you've burned the VIDEO_TS to? If it's a disc, it could be a poor playback compatibility with lower quality media, if you're using that.

If I may interrupt here with a related question. Does that hardware option only work with dedicated graphics cards or does it work if your monitor is using UHD and connected simply by HDMI to the motherboard?


Thanks!

I think I've discovered a bug in 7.0.0.77. The Visual interface option Minimize to system tray appears to do nothing. I tried it both set and unset, each time closing and reopening CXD. Regardless of the setting, CXD when minimized minimizes to the Notification tray only.


Thanks!

Another seemingly related bug. After conversion, the CXD main window minimizes to the lower left corner. ALT+TAB into CXD brings the window back into focus, BUT you CANNOT minimize the window again. You CAN close the window, though.

Yeah, when I installed the gold .75 release, conversion was fine and everything worked as it had before.

Oh, never mind. I see a gold final release of 7.0.0.75 was posted on VSO's CXD web page. I've installed it and it seems to be okay. I'm exporting that 54 minute input file now, but I don't foresee a problem with conversion. Will report back if there is, of course. :)

[quote=Cougar_II post_id=108650 time=1672515684 user_id=34] Happy New Year JJ... I just mentioned it to VSO since I don't recall ever getting this from any other VSO Software before, but that .75 one did :( I rolled back to .73 and ALL my problems went away ! [/quote] You can run .73? When I try to,...

Also, when I tried the trial of .75, adding a title set IMMEDIATELY starts conversion of VIDEO_TS output. This should NOT happen. Plus, conversion of a 50 minute input takes only 2 minutes. Should take longer than that. And the reason it only took 2 minutes was out of 54 minutes of listed input run ...

Nope. Still doesn't work. Wants to install in trial mode and create VIDEO_TS with watermark. Although all I did was run the same installer again I had run before over my old 7.0.0.69.


yoyo57, can you provide a link for the installer you downloaded and installed?

So, it appears to have been a bug in .75. I had wondered why it was saying that, since 7.0.0.73 Beta let me install it and use it without saying it was in trial mode and would create watermarked output.
