I'm getting an "undetermined" error when I'm trying to prepare a video and am wondering how I should change my workflow to get it to work. Here's what I've done:
Video is HD from Canon HV40 (little over an hour)
Edited it in Premiere Elements 7.0 in a HD project
Output from PRE - I think it was a mpeg, but I'm at work now and can't remember exactly
Brought that into DVD Architect and created my menu & scene menus
Try to Prepare the video and it says it will take 8 hours, but errors at 7.5 hours
I'm only going to burn it to a DVD (no blue-ray burner or player yet) using IMGBurn. I'm wondering when it should be down-converted from HD to standard? When I output from PRE or from DVDAS? Or if I'm doing anything else wrong.
In the past (with the same length of video), I burned the movie directly to DVD from PRE and it worked fine so if I can't get this working I'll do that again, but I like the personal menu I made in DVDAS. This is a video of my nephews' middle school play and they are anxious to view it - and so are their friends/fellow cast members.
Thanks for any input,
Sue
