    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    Okay , I tried the large file on its own , and did a fast pass , and it worked ok. It jsut seems to be struggling when doing a HQ pass. When you add a file into AVCHD at the bottom left it shows number of titles, estimated output and duration . I have noticed that when I add a large file...

    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    Just a footnote. I pressed stop on the 5 files i was doing as it looked like it was hanging. It then carried on. It seems to have copied 4 out of the files i wanted to . The one missing wasnt the last one, but it was the biggest . I will try and see if I can run avchd on just that file ...

    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    So this is strange , suddenly Im not getting the x264 error ...which is good news. I aborted the large file as it appeared to just be hanging. I have subsequently done some other files, and they seemed to have worked okay. I actually checked the output of them , and the resolution was 1920...

    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    I did find a tick box that says "scale 1920 x1080 to 1280 x 720 if bitreate is less than 4500" Im not sure that that means , but I may try and untick it to see if the quality rises to the full 1080 from the 720 I got on that film. I have just tried running a larger file , around 1mb. Im not...

    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    Grrr, this is still doing my head in , and I feel I have spent half my holiday this week doing this ! If I do one pass , then i still get the annoying "x264 has stopped working error message ", so I have to keep clicking "close program " to make the transcoding finish. If I do any of...

    Best way to copy MP4 to DVD

    Yes , Im not a big fan of the new Windows Movie Maker either. The older version 6 was great , but it doesnt support mp4. Typical - they bring out newer versions that are worse than the old. In the Stream folder there are only the 2 files that I mentioned. To play them I am using Windows...
