Error Message 800700e,8004520c,80040154,80004005 while encoding menu

This error is generally related to your video card and its compatibility. Roxio Creator is compatible with nearly all current video cards. However, please verify:

1. Your video card drivers are up to date. Contact your video card manufacturer for the latest video card drivers. If you purchased your computer as a complete system (like Dell or HP), then go to the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.
   
   If you purchased your video card separately, then you will need to find out your make and model and go to the video card manufacturer's website to download.

• Windows XP: Right click on My Computer and choose Properties. Click on the Hardware tab.
• Windows Vista/7: Go to Start --> Right click on Computer and choose Properties.
• Select Device Manager
• Double-click Display Adapters. You're video card make and model is displayed.
• To find out the driver details (such as version), right click on the make and model under Display adapter, and select Properties.

1. The video card is DirectX 9 compliant. DirectX 9 is required for many encoding and decoding tasks. Please check with your video card manufacturer to ensure DirectX 9 compatibility.

1. If you already have the latest video card driver, try switching Render mode:

1. Launch MyDVD.
2. Go to Tools -> Options.
3. If Render using is set to Hardware, switch it to Software. Or vice versa.
4. Close and re-launch MyDVD. Open the saved project and try to burn again.

1. Remove any custom files used in the menu or try a different menu style.
