like someone else before said: kill all chapter marks at the very ending of the clips!!! if u find some -> they are waste!!!  all vobulator problems disappeared when i checked all my videos and timelines again!

Einer meiner clips hatte ganz am ende eine Kapitelmarke! Nach dem ich diese gelöscht hab, kam dieses Problem nie wieder! womöglich führt dieser verweis ins nowhere

Hi All,

It really dont seem to me the point of applying an end marker at the end of the clip.     

I don't know what it means either.

My assumption is that "video layer" means a motion background, but the menu (the PSD seen in photoshop) has a regular background layer which is replaced in Encore with the video layer.

Or they are referring to a poster thumbnail; again replaced in Encore.

You might start a new thread so we can look at your situation.

I also got the  "Internal Software Error...Vobulator...Line 17" error in Encore CS6.  One of my timelines had diagonal gray bars for the last 50 or so seconds and the culprit was the chapter marker I had placed within that (apparently) forbidden zone. Once I removed the errant marker (who needed that one anyway?) the error messgage disappeared.

For the record, I had eliminated everything in the but the First Play video (in other words the Main Menu, two timelines and a playlist did not appear in the Flow Chart) and I still got the error message. I tried renaming the timelines, using underscores instead of spaces, etc.

I also tried running Encore as an Administrator - didn't work.

Removing the chapter marker in the greyed out area at the end of a video clip was the only solution that worked.

Now if I could only figure out why the end of that clip - and only that one clip - was grayed out...

<The original clip that was used to create the timeline was shortened/replaced with a shorter clip.>

Thanks for the quick reply! 

In this case the clip was not shortened or replaced. I created a new timeline based on the clip and that was it,; the gray lines have always been there. 

When I used the Check Project utility no issues were found, but when I built the project this particular video froze (video only, audio kept playing) near the end - at the exact spot where the diagonal lines appear. On the Encore timeline the audio and video both play fine right up to the end.

Perhaps there is an error in the file itself? I guess I'll have to re-render the video to find out.

I appreciate your suggestion, thank you. The video was exported from Vegas Pro so I'll re-render it. I rendered this particular movie as an .mpg as opposed to .m2t for the other movie used in the project.

I do find it curious that the video plays just fine from the Encore timeline and when previewing the project but not in the final DVD build.
