The only problem I ran into was converting a large vob file. I had two DVD movies that I wanted to place on a single DVDRW for a friend. Dragging the VOB files directly from the disc worked fine, but I didn't want multiple VOB files. So I used CloneDVDMobile, choosing the VOB passthrough option, to create one large VOB file of each movie. ConvertXtoDVD couldn't load the new VOB file. I did discover a workaround, I renamed the file from .vob to .mpg. They then worked fine.

I just bought convertxtodvd and i tried to burn a movie with an Imation DVD+RW. it gave me the following error message: "Write error at o (32) code 053006 [illegal request, cannot format medium, incompatable medium]. De-icing DVD+RW has failed." Has anyone else experienced this problem. please help!

**geno888** · 04-03-2006

Hi and welcome to the forum

Probably this problem has nothing to do with the software, but with the media. Try to use a different disc and see if this solve. I suggest you tu buy quality media like verbatim

bonaducchi · 04-03-2006

hi and thanks for the reply. i actually just used a sony dvd+rw and it worked but it had a lot of glitches in the movie. is there any way to erase them so they turn out better or are they not very good quality. also the problem with the imation disc wouldn't be because it needs formatted or something special done to it before it can be used.

**geno888** · 04-03-2006

Rewritable media are a bit unreliable. The best way to obtain good results is to use quality media. I'm not sure that imation discs are so good (never used), but you can see it trying to do a "full erase" before to burning.

Moreover, come standalones are really picky and give reading problems with rewritable media.

**alan1476** · 04-03-2006

Can this software convert a folder of jpegs to play on a standalone DVD Player?

bonaducchi · 04-03-2006

what in your opinion is quality media other than verbatim and how do i perform a full erase on my dvd+rw.

Maybe you should ask this in another thread. This is related to the VSO ConvertXtoDVD 2 review

Anyway, what burning software do you use?

bonaducchi · 04-03-2006

i am using VSo convertxtodvd and also 1clicktodvd

**geno888** · 04-03-2006

Sorry, I don't know these softwares. Try to find somewhere the command "Erase rewritable" in menus.

bonaducchi · 04-03-2006

thanks for the help!

RTShaw · 19-03-2006

lost most control of my fingers so pleaqe bear with me, it hurts like hell 2 type.

Per your Review I bought it. One of the best investments I've made (unlike that damn Sony dru-810a - suxed until I cross flased to benQ 1640)

Docmentation coudld use some clarification especially for burning more then one dvd on the same DVD but we aregetting there.
I'd (as im sure some of use do) wuld like 2 se a few additions Im sure VSO is gonna take care of that ASAP. for U non programmers its not an easy thing (to program good stuff) So it takes time ti find and correct mistakes or ad new items. Im not talking about hours It could take weeks or month or 2 to correct items and ad new stuff.
VSO Keep it up, I wanna get all your stuff. makes my life easier. DONT BE LIKE ACRONIS DO A GOOD PRODUCT THEN drift off (or stop listening to customers) Customers are your bread winners so keep em hapy if possible.

Now lets talk about a teleporter device (just kidding)..
Being a super qualified (but ill) hardware & sopftware engineer/Designer and own 2 Electronic repaie shops where I still have to help my techs..................... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VSO'S ConvertXtoDVD...
Over all other products of similar type. And the cost, MAn U can't get any cheaper, better buy it now while you can get it very reasonable.
\And if u or u know someone who saves movie (or cartoon) episodes this sucker can't be beat. NOw i can watch 14 episodes of Futurama, Doing my Sienfeld next.
Damn this software is cool....

PadreChema · 25-03-2006

Sony DVD Burners are not good 65% failed, you should replace it with LG or something else and you will see the difference.

RTShaw · 27-03-2006

LOST MOST CONTROL OF MY FINGERS SO PLEAQE BEAR WITH ME, IT HURTS LIKE HELL 2 TYPE.

Ame to that..N.. lUCKILY I HAVE4 - 5 BURNERS 2 CHOSE FROM. WAITING FORTHE PLEXTOR DX-760? I THINK THATS THE MODEL NO..
BUT IM CURRENTLY BURNING DL WITH A LITE-ON SHM-165H6S AND A SHW=160P65 AND I DID CROSSFLASH the Sony dru-810a toa benQ1640. sems2 work a lot bette with qsuite but i wish qsuites qsan were more accurate.. a few other minor things - i burn usually DVD+R DL media

davemc · 11-04-2006

Why does ConvertXtoDVD consume 100% of the CPU cycles when it is doing absolutlely nothing. I simply double click the desktop icon to launch the program and every other program becomes unresponsive. Don't get me wrong, I bought the software because it does a good job of converting but really is a terrible CPU hog both when it is in use (tolerable) and when it is idle (not acceptable).

RTShaw · 12-04-2006

i havent noticed that i better get busy and check...tons of stuff 2 burn with ConvertXtoDVD...

evrac · 16-04-2006

Hello everyone, I just downloaded VSO Software, I have 2 burners on my machine. The VSO software will not burn on my Memorex burner (says it's dirty), but it will burn on the NEC dual layer burner. I want to convert .avi files to DvD format. The result burn will not play on any DVD player in my home, my PC, my Note Book or DvD player. I am using Verbatim DVD media. On the preferences page, the 'TV' format tab is selected for NTSC and Full Screen. Is there anyway I can use this software and have it work? What could I be doing wrong? Thanks for your help. -evrac-

RTShaw · 17-04-2006

yep, just let them know, i think this is onr of their oficial sites andthey are very good at listening, giving answers and solving problems with their software.

**Hemispasm** · 18-04-2006

Does anybody know if ConvertXtoDVD is compatible with 64bit windows XP?

california girl · 20-04-2006

Yes Convertxtodvd is 64 bit compatible, and to Evrac, I suggest contacting the vso support team directly, by clicking on technical support here: http://www.vso-software.fr/support.php

PieEyedPiper · 02-06-2006

Does anyone have audio synch problems?
The audio seems to be just a smidge ahead in the Trailor Park Boys avi's I just put onto DVD.
Thanks
