Burn DVD using Windows DVD Creator

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 in a Windows 7 environment.
DVD authoring is very much an exception for me but I find I need to do so on a project I finished last night.  The Help files are full of needing Encore (which is no longer developed) to handle this but, reading the instructions, it seems I'd have to install Pr CS6 to do this. 
So...a few questions before I spend an hour (rubbish Aussie ADSL speeds) downloading something I may not need, is it possible to use Windows DVD Maker (or, at a pinch, DVDStyler) to handle this and, if so, what export settings do I need in AME?
FYI, I've tried using the MPEG-DVD preset with PCM Audio and I thought it had worked--but my 12 minute project stopped after just over 8 minutes and there was no audio.  I also tried compressing the audio to MPEG in AME with similar results.  DVDStyler seems to read the AME-generated .m2v file as wave so I've not even attempted a burn.
Another question:  if I do have to go the CS6/Encore route, will my CC 2014 project file open there or do I have to do some kind of conversion?
Any advice on the best way to do this would be very much appreciated!  I'm sure I'm missing something and this shouldn't be this difficult.

Okay, playing around I found my own solution which I'll post in case anybody else wants to burn DVDs without installing CS6/Encore.
I found a bit of software called DVD Flick (free under a Creative Common licence) that can author DVDs from a wide variety of source material--I happened to use a version done in AME on the Youtube HD (1080) preset and it worked well--good quality, the instructions were clear and concise, and the encoding was relatively fast (about 1 minute per minute of video).  If I need to burn any more DVDs in the future (not so likely but who knows) I may have a play with other AME settings but, for now, I'm happy and can recommend DVD Flick over keeping CS6/Encore just for the occasional DVD.

  • Premier elements 10 can't find a burner when using Windows 8.1 Would using a USB disc burner solve the problem?

    Using Premier Elements10 with Windows8.1, the program cannot detect a burner. I understand that Windows8 designates the burner as a DVD in order to facilitate drag and drop. I don't want to get too technical and want to know if purchasing an external USB disc burner will solve the problem. Will premier elements be able to detect this burner OK. I don't want to spend the money unless I am fairly certain that it will work.

    There is no guarantee that you will not get a blank field for Premiere Elements Burner Location using any internal or external Blu-ray DVD CD burner or DVD CD burner.
    If you go with an USB external burner, just make sure you have the back up of return/money back from the seller.
    If you are dealing with just a DVD CD burner, you might try the following if you have not already
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cd-dvd-drive-recognized-application.html
    You might also want to consider an uninstall/reinstall of Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit following the scheme of
    a. uninstall the usual Control Panel route
    b. free ccleaner run through CCleaner - Download
    c. reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled
    The following is the Adobe document that goes to Supported Devices
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/supported-devices-premiere-elements.html
    Updating on that unknown. Right now, it is what it is. I have burners that work fine in Premiere Elements on
    Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit and they are not on the list.
    Please let us know if any questions on the above or need clarification.
    Thank you.

  • ITunes/Burning CD using Windows

    I have the most updated version of ITunes. My CD burner works fine; I even burned a movie this evening. But, when I try to burn a playlist from ITunes I get a message saying that my CD burner and software are not recognized. I've never had this problem before (it actually started before I updated version.) Please help me find the problem.

    okay, folks with the 2380s on 64-bit versions of Windows (it can hit both XP and Vista) generally get relief from the 2380s by reinstalling the 64-bit versions of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for importing and burning.
    here's a link through to the GEAR drivers:
    GEAR drivers
    note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit GEAR drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware.

  • I have a iMac - when I burn dvd of my home movies it does not play on other dvd players

    When i burn a dvd on my imac - it does not play on other dvd players

    Buy iDVD on Disk.
    Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html
    With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
    IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.  (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

    I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
    There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

  • Encore CS5.1, Issue burning onto 8.5GB DL DVD using WIndows 7, 64bit

    Is anyone familiar with the inability of Encore CS5.1 to burn 8.5GB dual layer disc using Windows 7, 64bit.  After many failed attempts, it turns out that you need to set Encore as Windows XP compatability in order to get the disc to burn.  Is this just a glitch with Windows 7 + Adobe Encore CS5.1?
    The problem with changes the compatability on Encore is that you lose the dynamic link with Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    Any other suggestions on being able to burn without changing the compatability of Encore?
    btw, 4.7GB DVDs work fine.
    Thanks,
    Gianni (JohnQ)

    To burn dual layer you MUST right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator from the popup window... this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account
    I think you can select to "always" Run as Administrator from that popup window

  • Unable to burn DVDs on iMac. Folders dragged to DVD window appear as documents. DVDs from same package burned OK last year. Using Lion. CDs burn OK.

    Unable to burn DVDs on 2009 iMac ( Lion ). Folders and any files dragged to DVD window appear as blank documents.
    Burned DVDs from same package ( Memorex ) last year OK. CDs burn OK. DVDs are several years old, if that matters.

    The music is a tune that was purchased/downloaded from the iTune store. The slide shows (five of them) consist of digital photos (jpg) that I have taken. The interesting thing is that I also have an eMac (about three years old) that I have created the same iDVD project (identical music & identical slide shows). I have been able to burn a DVD disk of this project on my eMac WITHOUT A PROBLEM. The thing I do not like about the eMac is that I purchased family pack of iLife 6 last year (because I liked some of the new Themes). However, when I installed it on my eMac, for some reason it takes about 5-10 minutes to get iDVD 6 "up and running." Once it has loaded the Themes, however, I am "good to go." I've had this computer into the "Genius Bar" at the local area Apple Store TWICE and they are unable to get it to work more efficiently. The even reinstalled the entire operating system to no avail. So, the solution is to launch iDVD 6 on my eMac and then go do something else for 5-10 minutes. But at least I am able to burn my iDVD projects to DVDs.
    With my iMac, iDVD launches quickly but is useless since I am unable to burn my iDVD slide show projects to DVD.
    So, as a result, I am pretty much ready to "call it a day" with the iMac and will go back to my eMac.
    Thanks for your time.

  • I have a late 2011 15" MacBook Pro with a Windows 7 partion. On both sides of my HD, i cant burn DVDs.

    I've tried Windows Media Player, and Windows Movie Maker on Windows. On Mac, I've tried a few different things including Burn. For some reason i dont have iDVD. In my "About this Mac" it says that my optical drive can burn DVDs. It always goes through the process, then skips to the end and spits out the disk saying it couldnt complete the task. I dont understand why its so difficult these days when burning DVDs used to be so simple.

    I thought about doing what you said above, but unfortunately, I didn't have any spare blank DVD's. However, I was able to sucessfully install Windows & on my Mac. What I did was when I got to the error message, I would cancel the installation and that would return me back to the install now window. At that point, I would take out the flash drive and put it into another USB port. It took a few times, but eventually it recognized the drivers and allowed me to install the software. Remember, once you get past that point, the installation will ask you to choose a drive to install Windows on. Highlight the Boot Camp drive and chose "advanced", and then chose "format" after that. After all of this, it should be smooth sailing.

  • Need help creating a bootable dvd for solaris 9 using windows

    Ok, I am using windows XP, I have 2 hard drives in my computer and want to load Solaris 9 on my other hard drive. I have downloaded the ziped ISO files from sun.com, I have extracted them (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d, and sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e) Now what? I burned them to a DVD but its not booting to them (I have checked my boot sequence) I figured I would have to make a bootable DVD but I don't know how. All the instructions I am finding are for doing it in Solaris 9. Can someone please give me instructions on what I need to do now that I have downloaded the files or point me to a site that already has the instructions? Also I have Nero 7 Essentials as my DVD burning software.
    Thanks

    Copy all unzipped pieces into one directory (sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a, sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b etc... all 5 pieces)
    take command prompt and goto that directory and run the below command
    copy /b sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-c + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-d + sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-e sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso
    It will create sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso file.
    Using any DVD Burner software (e.g. Nero 7 or later), Burn the newly ceated image ( sol-9-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso.iso) do "Burn Image" (NOT a DATA DVD/CD)

  • Burn DVD using Premiere Pro 2.0

    I use premiere pro
    2.0 on my PC with Windows 7.  I can edit and save a video project, but I can't burn it to a DVD.
    Is there a burn program in 2.0, or is there another burning program that will accept premiere
    pro 2.0 projects?  I can import video segments into the Microsoft DVD burning program in
    Windows 7, but it will not accept a Premiere Pro project.

    If the issue is that PrPro does not see your burner, there might well be other programs "hooking" the burner. Do you get any error messages?
    If Win7does not see your burner, then it is likely that either the firmware, or the driver used, are out of date - or both.
    If Win7 does see the burner, then what you will need to do (depending on the answer to the first question), would be to Burn to Folder from PrPro. Then, use the free utility, ImgBurn, to do the physical burn to disc.
    Good luck,

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • DVD-burner problems using 925X NEO Platinum

    Hello,
    I've experienced a lot of problems trying to burn DVD's lately. Both of the latest DVD burners I've used only burn DVD's at 1.5x speed. I read a post on this forum about a guy who experienced exactly the same and he was adviced to switch the DVD burner to IDE1 instead of IDE2. I did that, but never got my computer to start again. (It only said read falut, press ctrl+alt+del to try again).
    I now use a DVD-burner from LG (GSA-4163B), I got all the latest drivers, BIOS etc. I also have tried burning on all (almost) different types of DVD's. The result is the same = only 1.5x speed. CD's burn only at 10x at the most.
    I've also learned that my HD's only use PIO-mode, and cannot use DMA at all at the moment. WHY? They are both set to "use DMA if possible-option". I use a MAXTOR 6Y120P0 and a SEAGATE ST320413A.

    Quote from: Assaf on 29-August-05, 21:47:38
    Windows XP falls back to PIO if it detects transfer errors.
    Possably a bad cable caused that.
    You should be able to get back to DMA by deleting the IDE controllers from the device manager and rebooting.
    In DMA mode your burning speed should pick up.
    If you are using cheap rounded or extra long cables (over 45cm) I would consider replacing them.
    OK, I've changed the MSI-cable (that was rounded and looked pretty cheap) that was connected to the burner
    & DVD-rom, but it seems nothing really happens when I uninstall my (6) IDE controllers. They re-install themself
    when rebooting, but still use the PIO mode. Should I uninstall all 6 controllers (3 primary, 3 secondary) at the same
    time and then reboot, or what?
    I bought a new, quite expensive IDE-cable recently, which I use for the burner + DVD-rom, but it's 60cm long.
    Should I replace it? Is that really necessary?
    Thanks for the reply!!

  • Is there any hope of using iDVD 7 to burn DVDs (Leopard 10.6.6, Mac Mini)?

    I've tried many of the suggestions in these discussions, short of reinstalling iDVD or wiping the hard drive and reinstalling OSX 10.6.6, and doing that seems excessive simply to use included Apple software. I have more than 260GB available on my hard drive, no external drives open (there are some connected both by FW and USB, but they are not even turned on, just connected to ports).
    iDVD 7.1.1 won't even get past the menu before it fails and gives an error that the 'burn cannot be completed'. There are no 'extras' in the menu, simply ONE QT/iMovie/iDVD compliant 15-second video; no drop zones, no fancy anything, default text for the video 'button', no hyphens or special characters, simply one video from my camera and the application can't get past the menu.
    Should I just go back to burning dvds from my powerbook G4 (tibook) through s-video to a dvd/vhs recorder?

    Hi, and thanks for the quick response. Yes, I have deleted the iDVD preferences about a dozen times. I started out my first project with a positive attitude and set up to burn 4 videos (all non-copyrighted, from my own cameras and library), and decided to fill in some time with slide shows from pictures on the hard drive (not in iPhoto, but they showed up in the iDVD media area and tested fine following the iDVD 'how to' pdf.)
    I had added audio (to the slides), but it was from an external 40-gb firewire drive, and one of the slide shows was from pics stored there.
    I removed those externally-hosted files first, after trying several times to delete the plist file with no better results. Then I removed that hard drive from the picture and turned it off, so no external source files are in play.
    I removed slide shows entirely from the media list after just removing them from the project and menu seemed to have no affect, partly since the error message mentions the 'menu/slideshows' in it's (boilerplate?) dialog box.
    Tried 'burning a disc image' after each modification (reduction of number and length of files) to the project, based on recommendations here.
    With each successive error (none of which got past the menu building phase) I removed another video file; deleted the menus entirely and tried 'new' menus, until I decided to remove all videos from the project and try just that one short 15-second video shot last week for posting on a web forum (it was not one of the original videos I hoped to use).
    I shut off all 'drop zones' from the menus. I used the default fonts and text buttons that appear when you drag a file from the media list into the menu window.
    I even tried rebooting the computer to clear any latent memory that might be causing a problem (as a 'shot in the dark'). After every change, I quit the project and iDVD and deleted the plist, then restarted iDVD and tried again. All to no avail.
    I'm on a budget, that's why I downgraded from my old iMac G5 when it died and switched to the Mac Mini aluminum 4,1, and I'm not looking to upgrade my now useless Toast 5xx to a compatible Toast 10 (even if that might work).
    To recap:
    I started out full-bore with video and photos and music (latter two for slide shows);
    After confirming everything worked together and there were no errors showing in the map view, and running through the slides and video files several times to make sure they 'worked', I tried to burn the disc (no disc image at this point, just a confident full-blown burn). Got the error in the menu phase.
    Started reading the discussions forum (this place) for a couple hours looking at what problems others were having, and trying the suggestions posed therein. No luck.
    Then decided to try deleting preference plist and creating a 'disc image' on the desktop of the entire original project. No luck.
    Then multiple incremental changes to the original project until I was left with the single movie file to see if any of my original media files might be the problem. (I even made sure there were no special characters in the titles, menu buttons, etc of any of those files, as someone mentioned the menus don't like any 'special characters'.)
    So, here we are. I am wondering if maybe the Mini is just not powerful enough to handle burning dvds? (It seems like it isn't platform based, since iDVD doesn't even get through the menu phase). This Mac Mini is about 1 month old.

  • Is DVD Creator good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV

    Is DVD Creator by Aimersoft good for burning MP4 video to dvd to view on TV?

    I tried the trial and found the theme/menu option too simple to interest me, so I deleted it. I use iDVD to add some pizzazz to my movies and then either burn it with iDVD or Roxio Toast. As for burning mp4: you might need to check on that - as far as I know, movies need to be in an mpeg-2 format to be able to play on a regular DVD player - the apps I use automatically create the correct format.

  • M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker

    Hi,
    My M30x MultiDrive will not burn DVDs from Windows Movie Maker and other applications.
    I have also had problems burning CDs (unbranded) from Windows XP, built in utility.
    Does the multidrive have problems, with cheaper brand disks?
    Just to note,
    The laptop has been back to the support guys three times so far with various issues.
    (1) The hard drive failed.
    (2) The multidrive failed.
    (3) The motherboard got replaced, because of power failures, it wouldnt charge the battery or recognise that the power adapter was plugged in.
    Note: The harddisk, not the exhaust fan makes the most noise in mine!
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the preinstalled burning software (i.e. record now, drag ndrop) disabled the Windows XP burning option. In this case if you want to use the Movie Maker or Windows media player burning option, you should to enable this possibility.
    Please go to driver properties (right click). Please select the Recording tab. The option Enable CD recording on this drive should be marked.
    I use the Nero burning software and in my opinion its a one of the best burning programs. Furthermore you should try different CD/DVD manufacturers because some CDs and DVDs are not compatible with some drives. Check the TDK CDs and DVDs. I never had any problems with these medias.
    Best regards
