internal software error: .\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp, line 217

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

My Vobulator isn't working, I need a new BlockPlanner with 217 lines please. Adobe's is broken and after 3 years they can't work out how to fix it.

I have no chapters at all, and I've tried reverting all wav's back to original. Is that really all the suggestions we have?

If you would like to give complete details on your Project and your Assets, plus the navigation that you are attempting to put together, someone might be able to help you.

I would suggest starting a new thread, as this one has pretty much played itself out and all previous replies were from others with other Projects and possibly other problems. You can link back to this thread easily, in case there is discussion that you feel applies to your Project, other than the error message.

I assure you that you will get input, but without the details, no one can possibly tell what your problem is.

Good luck,

I found out it was due to selecting an image file as the video layer

in a menu, causes the error everytime. I just paste the image in with

'edit in photoshop' instead now. But thanks.

Glad that you got it sorted out.

I was putting together a slideshow for my nephew's funeral service today.  I have been researching this on the web with no luck.  Mine has no menu and no chapter markers.  It turned out to be blank images in the slideshow.  No idea how this happened, I burned once successfully.  Tweaked  a few things and got the error.  Maybe someone else will be saved the frustration I have gone through with this.

Hi All,

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

I found this answer (below) in another thread.  What does it mean exactly?

The only images (photos) I have is in a slideshow.  My menu item is linked to SlideShow:Photo1.jpg

I do have cross fades. I CAN preview the entire DVD including the slideshow but burn to DVD or burn to image causes the error.

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.

A common issue I noticed in many other threads relating to BlockPlanner.cpp, line 217 is the use of a slide show.  I started experimenting with mine.  The first thing I tried worked (maybe a coincidence).  "Fit SlideShow to audio duration" was originally checked and default transition was "Cross Dissolve".  I unchecked it, and changed to 'None'.  No more error.  I since rechecked Fit to Audio and still OK (still no transition).  I was always able to preview but couldn't burn to disc or create image until now.

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...

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. The timeline should have been shortened.

<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.

Dynamic link or file exported from PR?

I'd look back to PR to see what was happening at that point in the PR timeline.

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.

No meu caso eu simplismente refiz o menu porque tinha feito o menu em PSD em outra versão do Photoshop e acabou dando algum tipo de conflito e agora que refiz funcionou perfeitamente.

I am having this problem with Encore CS6. Directing the output to the DVD Folder or DVD Image is not working. There are no slideshows or special fx. I have 15 timelines and some of these have up to 19 chapters, some only have one. My video files are untranscoded, and there are no errors in the check project portion.
