Vista's DVD Maker has "issues", most of them due to file size. My wife does lots of DVD burning and movie making with Vista and we have found that using multiple small files works fine while 1 large file causes the problems that you have found. It has been reported to Microsoft and is being worked on. Tim

Just tried again with Windows DVD Maker. It seems to do this while it's encoding the DVD... not actually doing anything with the drive yet. Any ideas? Christopher J.

If you have then I wouldn't think you would need to RMA the drive.

Nothing using the same parameters as far as I can tell. Could be a bad DVD burner, but I don't have a spare machine with a SATA hookup here to test that. This is actually the first problem I've had with Vista. Granted Vista took some getting used to, but so far, except for this problem, I like it. That's just my opinion, your mileage may vary. Any other ideas before I RMA this drive? Christopher J.

Some other device sharing the same parameters? Bad DVD Burner? Because Vista is a POS? No flames please, I have a right to my opinion. :) ________________________________ From: Christopher J.

On Windows Vista... I'll wait for the groans to die out... when using Windows DVD Maker, when I try to make a DVD, and it gets to the encoding stage, it gets to about 3.?%, and Windows shuts down my machine. Completely powers off. Immediately. No shutting down screen. No appcrash screen. No nothing, screen goes black, power cuts off on machine. When rebooting, there's nothing complaining about a disruptive shutdown, nor are there any logs from Windows DVD Maker. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? DVD Burner is a SATA connected Philips SPD2415BD SuperAlwrite. Christopher J.
