Problem with DVD Maker - Unspecified Error

moveistarr — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:25:08 GMT

I have edited my best friends wedding video in Windows Movie Maker, but when I try to burn the DVD the encoding (which takes forever) gets to about 52.7% and then tells me "Cannot Create DVD - Unspecified Error". I need to get this DVD burned as soon as possible and have no idea how I can fix the error which does not allow me to burn this DVD.

A little background, I'm using my Toshiba Laptop which I just bought in June of this year. The video was recorded onto a scan disk in .MTS format. I downloaded and paid for a subscription of AVS to convert the file from . MTS to .WMV so I could edit the video in Movie Maker. I got everything converted and imported into Movie Maker, and have sucessfully played the whole video with Titles and Effects through Windows Media Player. So I now have a finished video project but, like I said up top, when I send it to publish to DVD it encodes up to about 52.7% and then gives me the "Cannot Create DVD - Unspecified Error".

Any one that can help would be greatly appreciated!

Computer found updates

michael — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:20:01 GMT

When I first activated windows I had just bought a computer and decided to
just take the hard drive out and use it in my old one (which is pretty brand
new) it was just dropped and the hard drive fried. When I activated windows
I used the product key of the new one I just bought which is a Dell instead
of the one I put it in which is an Emachines. So all the drivers were not
loaded. So I went and had network adapters added and got in. Well it showed
a list of automatic updates which I did install. Now my system hangs and
reboots itself. I can get in by going to safe mode with networking but
cannot download anything or put anything on disk. Is there a way to
reactivate windows in my emachines and get everything back to where I need it
to be? Or am I going to have to buy a cd? By the way I have tried to do a
system restore before the downloads but it says it cannot restore it.

Greetings, can anyone help?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I found this site while googling information on an error I was receiving from my Windows DVD Maker.

I have edited my best friends wedding video in Windows Movie Maker, but when I try to burn the DVD the encoding (which takes forever) gets to about 52.7% and then tells me "Cannot Create DVD - Unspecified Error". I need to get this DVD burned as soon as possible and have no idea how I can fix the error which does not allow me to burn this DVD.

How can I get this DVD to burn? Anyone who has an idea of how I can fix this would be great. Thank you all.

mot de passe perdu sous Vista

Bernard Cordier — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:53:10 GMT

Salut,
Une coll�gue me contacte parce qu'elle a perdu le mot de passe de son
compte Vista et qu'elle n'a pas acc�s y compris en mode sans �chec.
J'ai cherch� dans Google, les solutions propos�es ne sont pas vraiment
simples.
Y-a-t-il un moyen simple de contourner le probl�me en �vitant la
r�installation de Vista, ou une �ventuelle restauration pr�vue par le
fabricant ?
Merci.

Sidebar Gadgets creep to the left!

glanz — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:52:13 GMT

I have researched this thoroughly and have eliminated tons of possibilities, so I hope there is someone out there that can HELP. I have some docked sidebar gadgets, however, I have two gadgets that I have removed from the sidebar and put on the desktop because they show more information that way like the weather gadget and notes undocked gives me more space for longer notes. The problem is the two gadgets that are on my desktop move/creep to the left after switching from user to user or upon a reboot. I have to keep dragging them back to the right which is frustrating. I have a great Dell warranty so they replaced the video card and monitor in attempt to see if this solves the problem, NOPE. The video card driver has been updated in fact the newest one is only a week old! so that's not the problem. What the heck makes these gadgets move?????? There is NO settings to fix their positions, so don't suggest that. Please let me know if there is a fix for this, it is driving me crazy!

Vista proprietary in Acer?

Gordon J. Rattray — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:27:46 GMT

The Vista installation or recovery disk you have is probably BIOS-locked
to a motherboard with an Acer BIOS.

If you can get a Microsoft installation disk - for any, presumably
32-bit, version of Vista - the key would work although you might need to
phone for activation.

64 bit programs

What you say is largely correct. There are very few 64-bit programs
yet. That means that the advantage of 64-bit Windows is mostly
*potential* right now. I think it's good to be running 64-bit Windows
instead of 32-bit Windows, because it lets you buy and install 64-bit
software as it becomes available in the future (and almost certainly,
we will all start seeing more and more of this very soon). But don't
expect much of a performance increase until you start running 64-bit
software.
