Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Any Video to DVD Converter and Burner.

In most cases, author.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these author.exe error messages mean that Any Video to DVD Converter and Burner was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Any Video to DVD Converter and Burner will be unable to start without resolving these errors.
