DVD Burning

Thank you to those who have answered my previous question.  I was able to successfully burn the previous  project I was working on.  But now I"m having issues again.  I have gone through at least 10 Sony DVD-R discs and keep getting an error that says Internal error while processing, invalid disc format.  Prior to this, I allowed some current magix updates to be installed but other than that, I can't figure out why it worked one day and not the next.  Please help!!!

Has MEP actually encoded the DVD? To check, navigate to the folder of DVD files in the location specified in Program Settings >  Folder > Disc images. Is the DVD there? If not, skip the rest of this reply and wait for a better one. (And meanwhile try a different type or brand of disc.) But if it is, can you play it, e.g with VLC, PowerDVD, etc?

If so, then do as I do and burn with a different program. I've never had reliable burning using MEP over the years (MEP11 to MEP MX). I don't think its burning software supports a wide enough range of CD/DVD drives.

So, my solution is to leave the disk out when I start the MEP burn routine. When MEP has finished the encoding stages (which it always does successfully unless I've made some sort of mistake) it then asks me to insert a disc. I don't do that, but instead hit Cancel and then Close.

I then go to the folder of DVD files described above and play the DVD from there to satisfy myself it's OK. Then finally I burn the folder to disc with another tool, such as the excellent ImgBurn (free).
