Video will not burn to DVD, please see below log, I do not know what it means, please can you advise as to what I can do. I am using a HP Laptop with Windows 10, and Rescue your video tapes, which just says new version on the box, which I bought about 1 month ago.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I have edited the log entries for clarity and to remove superfluous information ie previous burn attempts.

From the log entry it would appear that the main video is failing to encode properly - this may be due to an object on the timeline causing an issue and appears to be happening at the start of the encoding..

Try exporting the project as a mpg file first to see if this completes - monitor the rendering process in the export dialog note the approximate movie time that the failure occurred - this is the starting point for looking at what is on the timeline that could cause the error.

If the export completes OK, try burning the project using the Image Recorder option in the Burn dialog instead of your burner - this will create an ISO image of the disc on your hard drive - if this also completes then the ISO image can be burned to disc using Windows File Explorer or a disc burning program such as ImgBurn.

We also need more information- your computer specification and program version - details required are in this topic.

Additionally did you change any of the Burn settings?

HTH
