DVDSanta picky about files.

#1 11 Apr 2007 @ 9:53
Hello, I'm, like many others I notice in the searches, am having a problem with DVDSanta.

When I put a couple of files to be converted to DVD, the first file comes out fine,but for some reason my 2nd files lately keep coming out wrong. It plays sound, but doesn't show video. Video is either green or black when I test it before I burn it.

I haven't messed with any settings, have no other programs running other than what Windows usually uses, and am only using 20% of a 4.7 DVD disc.

My CPU specs are AMD Athlon XP 2800, 1GB Ram, Lite-On Dual Layer DVD-RW latest firmware.

For some reason the first few work but the last few dont...
