    I tried a search for this, and couldn't find an answer to my question, so I'm gonna see if anyone can help me out here.

    I have been burning files with MyDVD no problem, mostly episodes of television shows. I have been encoding them with TMPGEnc and then burning them with MyDVD no worries. I then had to leave the country for two weeks, during which my computer was off the whole time. Now, when I get back, every time I try and burn a DVD, I get an "Invalid Pointer 32768" error when the burn starts. I have sought help from Sonic, and done what they advise. I've created all the temp files on c:, I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've made sure the necessary codecs haven't been moved on the hard drive. Basically I've done everything I can find to do, and nothing works. I've made sure there's plenty of space on the hard drive, over 15 gig, and I've defragged the drive too.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem who can offer me a fix? I really like MyDVD, and I'd like to keep using it if I can. Thanks in advance for any responses.

    I found this by doing a google search,
    Hope this addresses the issue.

    I had another symptom that clued me in. The default "theme" is
    this cloudy blue sky background with a default title. But, on the
    computer I wanted to use, the background was black and I couldn't
    see any default title. There was just the little box showing the movie I
    imported and a little caption under it with the filename.

    Anyway the problem is that the program can't find the files it needs
    for the default theme. Don't know why yet.

    Workaround-> Basically change the theme to one that works!
    Click the "edit style" button and a dialog window pops up
    There is a dropdown box it the top-left corner. Select "Default Styles"
    (None of the "DefaultMotionStyles" seem to work, they are all black!!!)
    Pick any of the styles that appear and push the OK button.
    Now, you have a valid background and it should work!

    Hope you get this because MyDVD is actually a fairly decent program
    for basic DVD creation.
