DVD authoring stopped working after SP2

Hi there,

Since installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 I can no longer encode
DVD-videos. I use Adobe Premiere Pro and a Matrox RT.X10. Has anyone else
had this problem? Even better, have you found a solution?!

Here are some more details:

THE PROBLEM
The video encoding fails at random places during the video. I've tried
several different source videos and all have the same problems. I never had
this problem before installing SP2. I've tried encoding the DVDs using both
Adobe's DVD Authoring Program and Matrox's Media Encoder. Adobe's Media
Encoder just crashes and I need to re-start the PC. Matrox's Media Encoder
reports "unknown error" (possibly the least helpful error message ever).

The problem could also have been caused by my installation of DirectX 9.0c
(I used to use 9.0b)

Any thoughts?

Here are my specs:
- MS Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2
- DirectX 9.0c
- Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0
- Matrox RT.X10 with latest drivers
- Matrox P750 graphics card with latest BIOS and Drivers
- Intel D875PBZ motherboard with latest BIOS
- 2Gbytes DDR400 SDRAM

Many thanks in advance,
Jack

I'm told that some programs need to be updated after you have
installed SP2. A friend of mine found that his Nero software had to
be updated after he installed the SP2 upgrade.
Have a look on the internet for an upgrade for any software not
working.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've checked... and there are no updates.

Thanks,
Jack

I had similar problems, and found some notes in forums that DVIX codecs had
issues with the combo SP2.
I uninstalled DVIX and had no problem since.
