Question.

 

The Pocket DVD Wizard is not converting the whole DVD,  when I play back the video I only get the first xxx frames,  or first half hour...

 

What can I do?

 

Answer.

 

Usually this is either a resource issue, or simply a dirty DVD that causes the buffer to overrun,  and the conversion to end early.

 

If you check the DVD is clean,  and then start the software as you would normally.

 

When the DVD preview has started,  select 'options' from the menu bar,  and select 'global input settings'.

 

Now,  locate the buffer section and change it to a buffer of 100Mb,  located on the HD (not RAM or memory).

 

This will both free up memory,  so you have more resources to handle the conversion,  and buffer the DVD in case it is dirty,  or has a section which has a slow read rate for some other reason.

 

This should then fix your problem.

 

The next time you start the software, the buffer may be reset (depending on the version of the Pocket DVD Wizard you have) as the hard drive buffer does slow the conversion a little,  and should not be required for the majority of DVDs.
