No.  Seriously.  What's a Vobulator?

Tags: #premiere_elements_11

All I'm trying to do is create a dvd with a menu with this ******* program--Premiere Elements 11.  Oh yeah.  I'd also like to burn a dvd of the program.  So I try to do that and repeatedly, the menu will render and then the task bar will go 99% of the way before it dumps out with the message "internal software error:  \Vobulator|BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp,line215.  Anyone out there have some ideas?  My other question is why did I ever buy into Adobe's editing software in the first place.  Does anyone out there know of any better dvd authoring software that can turn Adobe files into a dvd?

    Sorry I can't help you with rhetorical questions. Have you contacted Adobe's tech support?

    I don't know what "Adobe files" are. The program works with standard video formats and there are a number of alternatives available.

    The "Vobulator" is a Sonic AuthorCore module, that creates the VOB structure, with the necessary IFO, BUP files, and also "wraps" the MPEG-2 AV file, into VOB containers. The authoring aspect of PrE (and also Adobe Encore), are but abstraction layers, wrapping around the Sonic AuthorCore modules, that Adobe licenses from Sonic/Roxio.

     

    If you are getting a Vobulator error, it means that the Vobulator module cannot wrap the MPEG-2, or cannot create the structure with the IFO, BUP and VOB files.

     

    It also means that everything has almost completed, and it is one of the very last steps in the process, that is failing.

     

    I would add the full details of your Project, and all DVD Burning settings, as perhaps someone can find what is hanging things up in your Project.

     

    Good luck,

     

    Hunt

    This is for Encore, but... as Hunt said... the authorcore is the same, so the problems are the same
