Hi experts
With the help of Photostory 8, when I am trying to burn a DVD, Continually I am getting an encoding error message. Here is this:
(date) 078: Step 4 of 6, Creating DVD image...Error: 84F
(date)468: MDA reports error 0x84000fb4 - read file from source failed
(date)656: Step 4 done
(date)656: ERROR: PrepareDVDVideoFiles() failed with errNo 5 - encoding failed
(date)781: !!! DBK error in BurnProject: 45 - movie encoding failed !!!
I have also tried quite a few changes/adjustments to my photos, transitions, etc, but all the time gets the similar results. Then I have uninstalled it and again I installed Photostory but same results. I have fight back with this program for couple of weeks! Need your suggestions to solve this.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hallo Doreth,
I have experienced that error before when burning files from one DVD to another and in my case the DVD I was copying the files from was corrupt. It had scratches and therefore the DVD drive was not able to successfully read the data on it. I highly suspect that is the same case for you. Otherwise other issues that could cause that error include:
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Carl
