Avid DVD by Sonic
Hi
Using Avid DVD by Sonic. Having tried many different ways of running the program including following the tutorial by Gaijin Eyes the program keeps crashing saying the usual, “the program has found an error sorry for any etc etc etc.
Do you think it could be caused by the format of the program, should I transcode to MPEG2 before entering sonic? I have tried so many times. As a previous Avid Liquid user it was so easy straight from the interface but now with AMC you have to take it out and put it in, its more like the Okey Cokey than an authoring Program.
Hope you can help me
Regards

Hi Thanks for getting back. Yes I did a duplicate then video mix down then into sonic. Its mostly sonic it just crashes each time I do anything on it. I even took all the files out of the program file and replaced them in a new folder and the problem still happens. I have noticed on the forum over the past few years Avid DVD by Sonic has crashed many times for many users and I feel it is more a bug that needs to be extinguished. My knowledge is reasonable good as I have been in the film industry for the last 20 years. As an Ex Avid Liquid user where you could put to DVD direct I am finding this program for some reason very temprermental.

Yes I think that in general, this piece of software isnt held in high regard. Have you tried Adobe Encore. That seems to be stable and is better respected

You need to encode DVD Spec-compliant elementary streams: MPEG-2, .ac3 or .wav. For Blu-ray, the program accepts HD MPEG-2, VC-1 and h.264 plus .ac3 or .wav for audio. This is not software that you can just throw any kind of media file at.

Hi
Thanks for that, I kind of guessed after of hours of tests that it is very fussy as to what it receives. So thanks again for your help.
