recompressing with nero digital

[Alyus]

I finally found the solution. If anyone else has the same trouble I did if you resize the video to 640x480 with the letterboxing option checked the bars disappear. Hope this helps someone..off to try to fix the other problems

I'm having a different problem with Nero Recode.

I encoded a show that I had recorded with Sage. And it worked fine with the default settings. No playback issues, with either Showtime or WMP. Then I went to doom9 and followed some instructions there about using Recode, and I changed some settings to tweak the visual quality. Then I encoded another show, with the new settings. It was a large file (12 gigs, 6 hour show) and I wanted to shrink it down to fit on 1 dvd. The whole process took 13 hours. And the Nero log file says everything worked fine, and I have a new 4 gig mp4 file on my computer. But when I go to play the file in Showtime, I get the following error:

Cannot play this media file
ClassFactory cannot supply requested class
(0x80040111)


And when I try in WMP, I get an error downloading codec error.

Anyone have any ideas? I haven't tried to encode it with the default settings yet, because it took so long the first time. But I'm afraid I might have to.

What happens when you play it in Nero Showtime?

Sounds like you're using the Nero AVC as opposed to the standard Nero MPEG4? If so, that looks like a codec error. Try checking radlight and see what's being used to handle that file.
