She probably needs a DVD+R in her machine.
I tell clients that there are compatibility issues with burned DVDs. I master on DVD-Rs because I find they work best for about 98.5% of my clients. If the disc won’t play I copy it onto a DVD+R and I usually don’t hear from them again. I tell them they can look in the front of the manual of their DVD player if they want to be sure of what it will play. The manual will say which discs the machine will play.
Some clients don’t understand. Some clients don’t understand anything. Other clients remember that they need DVD+R’s and will remind me when I do another project for them.
Last Friday I had a client pick up a master and she was going out of town for an event and wouldn’t have a chance to test the disc. So I gave her one of each so she wouldn’t be stuck at the venue with a disc that wouldn’t play.

Thanks Gary…this method usually doesn’t work for me…but it DID work on this machine with the fresh install of 7.0D. So on my main machine I upgraded to 7.0d (thinking it must be a fix in the new build) but that machine still will not capture using the capture camcorder DVD routine.
I don’t get it….

Sure they can pay a public performance license directly to ASCAP & BMI which would allow them to use music in rehearsals and performances. Those fees are based on the size of the buisness (usually figured by the number of locations and number of emplyees…or the number of performances and size of the venues.) I used to manage those licenses for my company when I worked in a corporate environment.
Copying and selling CD’s would not be allowed unless that are paying mechanical royalties…but I’d bet those are too expensive for most dance studios. I’m sure many music instuctors (think of all the guitar teachers in back rooms of music stores across the country) turn a blind eye to the law and do it anyway.

Media tested out okay…I put in a new burner…all seems well now.

I just finished a spindle of 100 (Verbatim CD-R). I’ll crack open a new box tomorrow and try again.
Maybe they hid all the bad discs at the bottom of the spool. :-/

Actually…no…I’ve never done that before. I always just put in the markers and they would play fine. I saw the instruction about adding the two secondswhen I began troubleshooting this problem. So I went back and added two seconds after each track marker but that didn’t seem to make any difference.
I also thought it could be a buffer underrun issue…these audio files are on a USB drive. I know a USB drive isn’t real fast but we’re not dealing with video…it ought to move enough data for an audio CD. So I moved the data to the c drive and burned from there. Two discs turned out okay…but the next one wouldn’t play.
No error messages, mind you…Vegas says the discs were completed successfully. But it wouldn’t play.
I’ve got about five or six more hours of audio to get off of this drive.

LOL…if you’re referring to the vendor I used previously…I al ready figured that one out. If you are referring to the broadcast store…thanks for the tip!

Its hard to know whats best without knowing the details of your business and your individual tax status and what you want to accomplish. I planned on creating an LLC but after a half hour discussion with a business savvy attorney he advised me to set up an S-Corp dba as my trade name. Talk with someone who knows and who can help make a decision regarding whats best for you….my 25 cents worth is its a few hundred bucks well spent.

Will these scipts work with 7.0?

I bet the lesson from the assignment is to learn how helpful an on-line community can be…especially when you are stumped. At least I hope that’s the lesson…
