Nerovision Express 3 transcoding problems

Jun 5, 2005 12:47AM PDT

Hi all

I have been using Nero to transcode videos of all formats, avi,mpeg,wmv etc to DVD format for some time until recently, Nerovision 3 just freezes and hangs whenever I try to transcode my video clips.
I have to call up the Windows Task Manager to close it manually..

Can anyone please help me?

By the way, is there any other programme that works like Nero and is easy to use, ie can convert videos of various formats to DVD and can also create a cool menu?

No.

You'll have to help it along by transcoding in Virtual Dub if Nero can't cut the video.

Got plenty? Are you sure it hangs and not just very very slow.

Nerovision is easy?

then you should download a trial version of Ulead "dvd moviefactory". Maybe the only drawback is that it may not transcode from wmv to dvd.

I just bought Nero6 Ultra because it has H264 encoder so I thought I'll give it a try (but not very successful), it says it will take 80 hours to encode 10 minutes mpeg2 video clip.

The more I work with this program..

the more I like it. It seems to have lots of features in one program, but not the most friendly for newbie though). Benlau, I think you should try to find out what the problem is instead of looking for new one (just a suggestion).

transcoding hanging NVE3
Jan 8, 2006 12:58AM PST

Hi Benlau,

I'm new here and hope you don't mind me asking this since I think you had a similar problem and may have solved it:

Ever since I upgraded NVE2 to NVE3, the following has been happening:

1. My video is extremely choppy in Preview mode and slow to respond and edit when in the Nero timeline, not to mention out of sync often. Video used to be relatively smooth when previewing & editing in NVE2.

2. Even though my 'Priority' setting is switched to 'HIGH' in burning mode and even though no other programs are open and running, NVE 3 hangs during the last few minutes of transcoding (a couple or so minutes before the actual burning begins.) The total progress bar continues but current progress doesn't. I can move my window boxes around during this stall. I'm trying to record the same project as I did successfully in NVE2 (only 15 minutes of video converted to MPEGS with 3 animated menu buttons).

Hope this isn't too vague, but any help would be appreciated. I'll supply more detailed info if need be. Thanks very much.
