vista notebook with Ulead Movie Movie 5.5 installed ixb ext

Oct 12, 2007 4:10PM PDT

I am having trouble with the error that the IXB extension is not supported. I have contacted, Toshiba, who tell me that Ulead can help me, This was installed on the notebook when I purchased it. (Ulead doesn't know what I am talking about) I made some home movies on my Panasonic dvd recorder from VHS to DVD. This disk "works", but I wanted to make copies for the family, so I put the disk into my Toshiba Satellite P105-S6157 notebook, (2gig memory, 200 gig hard drive) and downloaded the movie which I "can" view on my notebook. But when I go to make copies I get the IXB error message. I have tried a TDK-,& DVD+ disk. You can tell that the movie is burned on both of them, but they won't play. I get the IXB error. Windows media maker isn't any better. Panasonic tech did try to help, but said that there was no way I could alter the extensions when burning. They said it should have burned in MPEG. I thought putting the disks back in and trying to finalize them, but got nowhere. Hope someone can help. Thanks, Carol

Did you try?

Copying the IXB file to your hard disk and renaming to .MPG?

See if VLC PLAYER plays it as well as asking VLC PLAYER for information about the file.

I understand you wish the support was better but this is the life of those that want to edit or use DVD recorder media. You learn the workarounds.

I did try the extension change, but it didn't work, so now I will go download the VLC PLAYER and see what happens. I will let you know how I make out. Thanks again for your help. Carol
