Encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43

Question

Encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43

Hi!

I've tried everything but still, after about 20 hours of encoding DVD Studio Pro just stoppes, saying "encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43". The movie is in DV PAL format and made in Final Cut Pro version 5. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4.0. The movie is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long and I'm trying to put it on a double layer DVD. I've tried to shorten it (it was nearly 2 hours before), but that didn't help. I also tried to shorten it even more and put it on a single layer DVD, but still the same message.

So if somebody has any idea of how I can solve this problem, please let me know as soon as possible!

Thank you!

Yesterday evening I tried to trash the preference file, like I was told in another thread, but this morning I still got an error after about 80% of encoding. However, this time the error had another code -1309.

Please help me!!!

Error -43 means "File not found." If you are compressing from a reference movie, make sure that all referenced movie clips are present on the disk and that permission settings are not preventing DVD Studio Pro from accessing them.

Error -1309 means "Out of bounds." This means that the source file is pretending to be bigger than it actually is.

So it sounds like there are issues with your source movie.

P.S. Compressor has a much better MPEG-2 encoder and I would recommend using that instead.
