Been struggling with this for a while...... Good News managed to butt edit mpeg2 16.9 video with 5.1 sound from DVD cam including editing menus also managed to add stereo wav music backing track in Nerovision to successful DVD the 5.1 sound from video was retained and the stereo file runs over the top (though nero seems to puts some of this in the back speakers but it sounds fine in practice) Bad News TITLES adding text titles is great till I try and open saved Nerovision project files that had titles, Nerovision won't open them or attempting to export a video project that has titles causes a crash...but the earlier version of said same project will export fine if it doesn't have titles.Bizarre I've tested this a few times. My work around after loosing hours of work trying successfully editing videos but loosing them as the project file won't open or Nero crashes on exporth my work around has been to:- keep saving BUT as you can't do save as.... go back and change the name of the saved project file to prevent overwriting an openable project file with one that won't open. LENGTH of Movies on DVD took me a while to find this cause, but seems obvious now!! making a DVD with movie clips too short to make animations in the menu page causes Nero to crash when transcoding menus. this is the end of an error log file from a dvd with 67 titles 1 to 66 were mpeg2 16.9 5.1 from the same source number 67 was different 16.9 from movie maker however it all went well doing menus preparing transcode for all the titles but Nero crashed out as it was fast screening through clip number 30 burning to the image writer Nero cited transcod problems but this clip was just another one from the same source as the previous. Appreciate any tips here's the end of the log ........................

hi glug glug, there's not much to go on there... -ASPI Layer not correct, install 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm - not yet sure what phelp20.sys is
Update 1 clip I was using had a tiny drop out of sound in the original file Though it plays back fine (less than 1/4 of a second where it drops out to silence) the picture is fine and most applications play it back fine but the sound error was too much for Nero!! Just chopping a tiny chunk out of the file solved the issue cheers Pete
