I've been working on a project but once it's saved I get the error message "corrupt project or has an invalid format" when I try to open it again. Then the program closes. It happens when I import a video and it doesn't matter what the video format is, AVI, WMV, MPG. I even tried to convert the video with AVS video Converter and it still doesn't work. Everything else seems to work just can't open a saved file which is a really bad thing. I've tried to re-install the software but no help. Anybody got any ideas how I can get my projects back. I just started all this a couple of days ago so everything should be the latest and (a-hem) greatest.

Hello,

There is a bug in current version of AVS DVD Authoring opening projects created with previous versions. We apologize for the inconvenience caused! Our developers will correct it as soon as possible. We will inform you when the fix is ready. Please wait.

Best regards.

To: Vlad
Just to clarify. The projects were created with the current version.
As a matter of fact once I import any video, save as...project, then immediately try open said project I get the error and the program closes.
I don't even have to clear the currect project. It's still there but opening it again once saved it errors out.
I never had a previous version.

Looking forward to the fix (or a refund)

To: Vlad
Oh I guess I should also say that everything else doesn't seem to have the error effect.
That is I can use text, jpgs, even use the very same video clip in the chapter box (without actually importing the video).
I can save all that and open it back up just fine. ONLY when I import a video does the error occur.

Thank you for the information. Yes, this bug can also occur working with projects from current version. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. I can assure you the problem will be fixed very soon.

To: Vlad
Okey-dokey, I'll be waiting for it.
BTW I've sinced used some of the other software without a problem so far.
Just one thing, is there a way to select the number of copies you want to make with DVD copier.
I make "family dvd"s and need to make many copies to pass out.

To: StarGazer
never mind the copy question, I found the answer.
