I found out what was causing my "jobs not done, 0 bytes" error...my pathname + file name for the output file was too long.

It looked like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\My Videos\MOVIE DESTINATION DIRECTORY\AVI2DVD_TEMP\

Once I changed it to "C:\MOVIE DIRECTORY\AVI2DVD_TEMP"...authoring was back to normal.

I'm not sure what the limit is, saw something in another post indicating 96 characters, but it worked.

has nothing to do with the 96 chars ,... looking the path i see
D:\J?rgs Daten\Filme\Avi2dvd_temp\
this word J?rgs has a strange letter thats the problem

Yep, your right...didn't catch that.
