I am having trouble burning a DVD with Nero Vision Express 3.0. It is a movie I own. My three year old is in the "independant" stage and I don't want the orginal to get damaged. I have burned several movies and I have not had this problem before. The encoding went smoothly and now I get this error from Nero [23:48:11] DVDEngine cause: 128 (nmc_processing_exception)
[23:48:11] DVDEngine source: CNeroConverter::GetNextSample
[23:48:11] DVDEngine description: cannot get next media sample
[23:48:11] DVDEngine ############################################I don't know what it means If anyone could help me I would really apreciate it Thank you. I am running XP home edition.

That Nero log line —
DVDEngine cause: 128 (nmc_processing_exception) ... CNeroConverter::GetNextSample / cannot get next media sample — means Nero’s DVD engine failed while trying to read or transcode the next frame/sample from the source. Community troubleshooting logs show this usually happens when the converter hits a corrupt frame, an unsupported codec/format, or protected/encrypted content and can’t continue the conversion. (forum.videohelp.com)

Try this quick, practical checklist (in order):

  • Verify the source: play the whole file or VOBs start-to-finish in a robust player (VLC/MPC) to confirm playback and spot corruption.
  • If the source is a commercial DVD, it may be encrypted or use copy-protection; authoring tools often fail on encrypted streams. Avoid suggesting or attempting DRM circumvention — check legal options for making a legitimate backup in your jurisdiction. (en.wikipedia.org)
  • Re-encode/re-mux the problematic file with a different encoder (or re-rip from a clean source). If Nero itself looks unstable, run Nero’s cleanup/repair tool (FirstAidKit) and reinstall. (nero.com)
  • Create an image first (Record to image / .iso or .nrg) instead of direct-to-disc, then burn the image; try a different burning program and slower write speed. ’s suggestion to try another burner is sensible — switching software solved similar hangups in other threads. (forum.videohelp.com)

Where to get Nero Vision Express 3: Nero’s current support/Start app provides access to older product versions for customers who legitimately own them; that is the safest place to retrieve legacy installers. Avoid random third‑party sites unless you verify the file and checksum. (howto.nero.com)

If replacing Nero, ImgBurn (free) is a reliable utility for writing images and testing burns; many users create the image with their authoring tool and let ImgBurn write/verify the disc. ’s follow-up (“that worked”) lines up with this practical swap‑software approach. (imgburn.com)

Short, focused diagnostics usually find whether the problem is the source (corrupt/codec/DRM), the authoring app installation, or the burner/media — address those in that order.

I am the computer technican at my home town church and I have just recently bought Nero. I have tried several time now to make a DVD of on of our services and I can't get it to burn. It will start to burn and then the computer will go into a "stand-by" mode and I have to unplug the computer to get it to do anything at all at this point. I have no idea what to do and I really need to make this DVD because the pastor is wanting it.

Good luck
