Lightroom 3.6 exporting to CD/DVD is very slow

I'm using Lightroom 3.6 for Mac and when I export to CD/DVD it takes several minutes to burn the CD.  For example, I have about 50 jpg images that I export at 100% quality and at 300 dpi with no watermarks, etc.  I can use Finder to burn to disc funtion and I can burn 2 cd's in the time it takes Lightroom to burn.  I want to be able to use Lightroom for all my processing from importing to corrections to printing to exporting on CD.  When shooting events we take the images in jpg, import and put them into folders for each client.  Once the client purchases a CD of all their images we burn the CD.  I do not want to use separate software to burn the CD if at possible.  Is there settings or something I can change in Lightroom to speed up the process?
Thanks!!

Thanks Lan.  I take the photos in jpg format (not RAW) in the camera, use Lightroom import and assign a sub-folder.  Once the customer reviews the photos (in Lightroom), they have the option to purchase a CD or print.  If they want to purchase a CD, I use the export feature and choose CD/DVD instead of Hard Drive and Lightroom request to input a CD and I click on Burn.  Lightroom then prompts for me to enter text for a name and then it starts the burn process.
I hate it takes so long because Lightroom is a good all-in-one prograrm that does all I need.  The burn to CD/DVD is very nice becuase if I have more images than a single CD will hold, it will prompt for the 2nd, 3rd, etc CD until it finishes.  Other CD burning software will only tell you that it cannot burn to CD because the data is more than the CD will hold.  When in the field an event you cannot hold up sales because it is to slow to burn.  Will have to look at other alternatives besides Lightroom for this.
Thanks again.

  • Unable to export to MPEG2-DVD! Very weird situation .. Please Help!

    Hi Folks,
    I've been using Pro for years.
    Currently using CS6 - a fresh install from the cloud as of a couple days ago.
    So, I have a project ready for DVD.
    File / Export Media .. this brings up the Export Settings.
    I choose MPEG2-DVD as the Format with Match Source Attributes as the Preset, then hit Queue.
    Normally, this would queue the export in Adobe Media Encoder as .m2v but for some unexplicable reason - this isn't occuring.
    Instead, Adobe Media Encoder drops the MPEG2-DVD format and replaces with the AAC Audio format!?
    What the?
    Am I losing the plot? Have I missed something?
    File / Export Media / Format MPEG2-DVD = .aac file (only) in Adobe Media Encoder??

    Thank you Ann.
    Turns out I had missed an update for Adobe Media Encoder in the Adobe Application Manager.
    I had installed the software yesterday and so I assumed I had the latest version. I was wrong.

  • Export in Premiere CS6 is very slow, but why?

    Hello,
    I work with a
    Intel i7 3770k @ 3.5 GHz
    16GB RAM
    GeForce GTX 560 TI
    2TB RAID-0
    In this project I did the color correction via After Effects and replaced the clips in the Premiere Pro timeline with AE Compositions after I edited them.
    Now when exporting it takes about 2,5 hours for a 12 minute video. The cpu only works on 22% and the ram on 35-40%
    That never happened before. A 12 min video took about 30 minutes to export and the cpu was at 100%. Why not now? Is that because of the links to the AE Compositions as it's the first time I work with these?
    How can I provide more cpu power to the exporting process?
    Thanks for any help.

    by the way... I am exporting h.264 1920x1080 with 13 Mbits/s

  • DVD recording very slow on my Satellite M30

    Hi,
    I have a satellite M30 with a DVD burner Teac dv-w28e. burning onto DVD (8x) takes more than 1 hour and half for 4 GB, even if the burning program says the speed is 8x and the estimated time is 10 minutes.
    So, what's the matter???

    Hi
    Which burning program did you use?
    I prefer to use the Nero burning utility. In my opinion, its one of the best burning tools. You should check if you have this issue with other burning programs.
    Did you simulate the burning procedure or did you burn the DVD without simulating?
    As far as I know some programs simulate firstly the burning procedure and after proper simulation the files will be burn to the DVD. In this case the burning procedure takes much longer.
    Bye

  • Dragging files to a DVD is very slow

    Since a couple of months dragging files to a DVD player takes minutes.
    I'm not talking about the burning process but just about dragging files from my harddrive to my dvd folder. This used to be a matter of seconds but since a while (I believe since the mavericks update) once I drop a couple of hundred files on my dvd I get a spinning wheel and it takes minutes until it stops and the files are in the folder.
    I'm running OS 10.9.1 on a 2009 2.66 quad core Mac Pro with 16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 and got a HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
    Any Idea what can be causing this problem?

    More than 50 files spread out at one level makes the Finder slow. Put those same files inside a folder, and drag and drop the folder,  and things usually speed right up.

  • Very slow performance in Lightroom 3??

    I just upgraded to Lightroom  3.0 and I am very suprised how slow it is!?!  I don't have a very large library and I'm on two reasonably new computers yet the difference from Lightroom 2 (snappy performance) to Lightroom 3 (VERY sluggish) is quite suprising..
    I'm using it on a XP and a Vista system with the same results...
    Is anyone else experiencing this???
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I've noticed a slow down in performance with Lightroom 3 as well. As far a looking around the forum for older threads, ...found older lightroom 1 and 2 threads.
    Your Title "Very Slow Performance in Lightroom 3??" fits what I'm looking for just perfectly.

  • When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?

  • Why Does Lightroom Web Module Export Images At 240 ppi?

    Firstly, please forgive my ignorance on this subject. I am in the process of getting together a website of my images and have been experimenting with preparing the images and thumbnails through Lightroom's web module. I've noticed that when opening the finished images in Elements, that they have all been converted at 240ppi. Surely, images for websites should be at 72ppi (or possibly 96ppi)? Or am I dimmer than even I thought? 

    should I simply ignore the resolution box?
    Yes indeed. You set the size unit box in the export dialog simply to pixels and then size the right number of pixels for your web use. Typical is for example 800 pixels on the long end. The resolution box is not relevant for web use. It is really only used as a hint to a final printing size.
    So I imagine the 240ppi conversion must be the Lightroom default value. Do you think?
    Very likely so. I believe Lightroom, just like Photoshop, assumes 240 for files that do not start out having the tag so that is probably what happened if this started as a scan. Many scanners do not write this tag at all, but most DSLRs write the tag into their files and it is usually 240 for older generation cameras and 300 for later ones. I don't know why they do that as it is again not relevant as people print at any size they want.

  • Exporting Subtitle from DVD Studio Pro

    Is there a way to export subtitles from DVD Studio Pro or Is there a tool somewhere that will generate an STL file from a DVD Studio Pro subtitle stream?
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, other than the manual -- which I have exhausted. It gave me the coding for a text-based caption, and the coding for a graphic, but not the coding that would put both on the same clip (same time value).
    However, I can manually go into the subtitle inspector and add whatever element (the text or the graphic) each with its own offsets, and have them appear flawlessly together. I am convinced there must be coding that generates this effect I can use in the STL file, but I have found nothing on the web, nor any of several downloaded manuals (including pp. 456 - 460).
    Any advice?

  • How to get best quality when exporting presentation to dvd?

    I have just completed a keynote presentation with 21 slides including various movie clips.
    I want to export this to Dvd where it can be played on someone elses computer and then onto a projector.
    I have tried exporting it as a Quick time movie and then to idvd, however the quality seems to dimish considerably. The picture is shaky and the resolution seems rather low and grainy.
    Could someone tell me how I can get this onto Dvd with the best quality possible. i.e if I change the slide size will this make a difference, or if I make the dvd interactive?
    I am a completely new keynote user so I apologise for my ignorance but would appreciate any advice!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks David.
    I will give that a go. I went to the Mac store on Regent street, and they were really helpful. The guy there advised me to compress the movie in quick time and then export it onto either a flash drive or ipod, which can then be transfered onto any other computer (mac or p.c) which has quick time downloaded on it. This works for me as I needed my presentation to be exported to my bosses laptop P.C.

  • I Use the last FCX but  I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this

    These "Share" files are accessed and used by the Create Disc app.
    Create Disc is buried in the FCP X package.
    Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc
    I'm wondering if having the Compressor Application on a Mac makes a difference to having just FCP X on a Mac and the use of the Sharing feature.
    I have Compressor loaded and find that DVD and Bluray burns from Share without any glitches as some are experiencing.
