The dreaded "Unspecifed error 5:0:0" error
This software has some great features, once you get used 2 the quirky combination of three Ulead Products. But, one of these integrated products has some serious defects. When you create a DVD (by Share) inside VideoStudio you are taken 2 a scaled down version of Ulead Movie Factory. For the first several home-video DVDs I made this seemed 2 work, though discounting the "quirky" interface. But, then I ran across the dreaded "Unspecified error 5:0:0" error that seems 2 have no resolution. I tried removing one of the videos, converting it & so forth, but nothing seemed 2 work. I might add that the videos were TV captures from a high-end Hauppauge DVR card that has not had any issues with any other software I've used, such as DVD Movie Factory 4.0, Vegas Studio & so forth. Unfortunately, when you hit this error during encoding you've reached the end of the line. The software just won't create a DVD, so I went back 2 my really old copy of DVD Movie Factory 4.0. Money wasted. Buyer beware.
