SOLVED!!
I’m happy but disgusted.
The details are in this thread : DVD Architect Pro 5.2 error when preparing Blu-ray
It is interesting that the problem had nothing to do with burn speed , or disc brand … it was 100% a software conflict with a stupid Windows update and DVDA 5.2 .
Very Frightening and Disturbing!

HOORAY!!
Getting rid of stupid .Net 4.0 also solved the “DVD Architect 5.2 Pro burns suddenly will not play in DVD players” problem!!
This is by far most baffling and counter-intutive DVDA problem I have ever suffered. It has left me drained and wondering if I should just give up and move to a mud hut…
I’ll update the other threads. Hopefully other people will benefit from my pain ..
Scott, thanks again for the clue that provided relief!

Scott, thanks for this important clue!
I’ve been struggling with some other (possibly related ) DVDA 5.2 problems for the last 3 days. As part of my testing, I tried to create a new BD project, received the same error:
Warning: An Error occurred while writing a file.
Error 0x80131604 (message missing)I recalled seeing a .Net 4.0 Windows Update come through during a recent Patch Tuesday. I normally am very leery of .Nyet , and usually don’t apply them. For some reason my radar was down and I let Windows install it. (I’m running Win 7 Pro x64) . Nothing obviously bad seemed to happen until these bizarre DVDA problems surfaces 3 days ago.
I just did a system restore back to 9.7.2011, and guess what? No more Error 0x80131604!
GRRRRR….
Here the link to the other problem I’m fighting. Stand by for test results after going back to the restore point.

No solution yet, but have new information that might lead someone to help me figure it out.
The problem is definitely software and/or config, confined to DVD Architect Pro 5.2 only, because I can burn OK directly from Sony Vegas Pro 64-bit 10e. Dics burned from Vegas play OK in all DVD players.
DVDA 5.2 projects that I saved last month or longer will still burn OK and produce discs that play OK in my Samsung or Magnavox players. The problem only affects new projects. I have carefully compared all project settings and they are identical between the new projects that fail and the old projects that are fine.
I’m now testing DVDA with the simplest possible project – just a menu, no actual content. Burn speed has no effect on the problem.
I tried a full uninstall of DVDA 5.2 build 124, did a CCleaner to get rid of all previous reg settings. Also uninstalled all new software (not much) I had placed on this Win7 pro computer since the last successful projects a month ago, including the Xvid and Camstudio lossless codecs. I then installed the latest build of DVDA 5.2, build 132.
gSpot shows nothing odd about the discs that fail – MPEG2 codec, NTSC 29.97 fps, etc. The discs that fail play fine in any of the half-dozen computers I’ve put them in. They only fail in DVD players attached to TVs.
On a different computer, I used Roxio to duplicate one of the problem discs. The duplicate disc has the same problems.
I’m really ripping my hair out at this point. I have a stack of HP and Memorex coasters that is growing ever larger …
Please help …

Hi;
I suddenly have this same problem. Have been using DVD Arch Pro 5.2 for a year, no problems burning DVDs to either of my burners, one is the Optiarc AD-7200S drive that came with my Dell T3400, the other is a 6 month old LG BHLS30.
Without doing anything different for this project, ( a quick 30 sec vid created with Vegas 10e 64bit ), I grabbed a Memorex DVD+R from the same 50-disc spindle I have been using for the past month. Created the project, burned the disc in the Optiarc. Tested playback with VLC. Took it into the living room; would not load in the Samsung Blu-ray player. Tested in the bedroom on the cheap Magnavox, same problem. Discs I burned from the same spindle last week OK.
Came back to computer, burned again, this time with the LG drive. Same failures.
Now I am frustrated and at a loss. Could some bizarre software problem be the cause? A Win 7 update came through on Tuesday, last successful burns were prior to that.
Baffled … worried …

Yaay!
Thanks, Dave! I was looking everywhere but there. I really appreciate the quick response.
I hope Creative Cow keeps this thread up forever – I bet we were not the only ones pulling our hair out in big chunks over this.

Hi;
I’m having the exact same problem, but I can’t find anything in Preferences. Can you provide the detailed path to the field that will let me enter the volume name? I’m using DVDA Pro 5.2.
Thanks!

Hi;
here is a link to a GREAT tutorial on one of the coolest possible titles that can be created with just Vegas. I’ve used Geralds tip over and over, the shiny, metallic effect is compelling. If the link does not come through in this post (for some reason my Creative Cow account disappeared and now I am back in “moderated newbie” status) just goto youtube , user videotragic.

It’s not the easiest of projects, but once you get it working you can save it as a template of sorts and use it over and over. I like to use them for the titles of the school orchestra vids I post, and change the colors to match the school’s colors.

Heh – glad to have helped. I agonized over this for weeks before I hit on it. Those LG burners are sweet, eh?
