will run again....and see what happens.

Well, what do you know - It's burnt a DVD!

Thanks so much for the handholding!

Just finally, is there any way to put chapters/menus etc in?

[reven]

if there is a comskip file, it will use that as chapters
if there isnt a comskip file a chapter will automatically be generated every 5 minutes

dvd menus will be in the next version of my videos.

PROBLEM! ARGH!

Tried to burn second DVD......not getting past stage 2! log below.




Any ideas?

Code:

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr>"C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\nerocmd.exe" --write -
-real --iso ""C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\My Documents\My Videos\TV recording
s\temp dvd\temp.mpv"" --no_user_interaction --drivename E --underrun_prot --crea
te_iso_fs --create_udf_fs --iso-no-joliet --dvdvideo_realloc --dvdvideo_cmpt --d
vd --dvd_high_compatibility --recursive "C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\My Docum
ents\My Videos\TV recordings\temp dvd\temp.0.mpg"\* --detect_non_empty_cdrw --fo
rce_erase_cdrw
File specification 'and' resulted in no matches!
Specified file was not found!

i think its the "--recursive "C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\My Documents\My Videos\TV recordings\temp dvd\temp.0.mpg"\*" part, im not sure why "temp.0.mpg" is there.

[philip1982]

where's it getting that from? I tried another MPEG straight after (but with a reboot) - and got the same error. What's changed since this morning???

Also, looking in my temp dvd folder, there are no files there - this morning it was full of things.

[reven]

i have no idea why that is there, it should only pass the dvd directory you created with dvdauthor


i suppose you might be using the nerocmd bat file for the convert process aswell as the burn process, but thats all i can think of.

it should pass something like
"%DVD TEMP DIR%\DVD"

yeah that is the problem, you convert.bat file is wrong (i just glanced over this before).

[philip1982]

so...

(a) what can I do? I can't see what's wrong with convert.bat

(b) why was it ok this morning, and with nothing changing, it isn't now?

I'm very fed up.

[reven]

you must have changed it at one point, go back to the original convert.bat file and then edit it again.

nerocmd should only be in the dvdburn.bat file.

convert.bat should use PVA and mplex.
