Burned DVD to folder but no files were created

(Windows 7 64-bit) I completed a project and attempted to burn a disc (DVD) to folder. All appeared normal during the compilation, etc, took a normal 15 minutes or so, Premiere Elements said it was done, but there were no files in the designated folder. Quit & re-started Premiere Elements & tried again, same result. Looked back through the 12 discs I've created recently & discovered one of those also empty. Haven't re-installed Premiere Elements yet, that will be my next step. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have suggestions for trouble-shooting?

I deleted the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, which didn't help. Then, deleted the entire 12.0 folder, again didn't help. In the process, I noted something that seems strange; perhaps a byproduct of having deleted the entire folder. Under C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Adobe are a Premiere Elements folder and a Premiere Elements 12.0 folder. Both have sub-folders named 12.0. The Premiere Elements 12.0\12.0 folder contains only a folder named "logs", which is dated today but is empty, and a "Trace Database.txt" file. The Premiere Elements\12.0 folder contains subfolders "Layouts, logs, OLS, SC", and 14 files of several types, include the new Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that was presumably (re)generated after my deletion of the predecessor on my last attempt to burn to a folder.
Some answers to some of your previous questions:
1. My Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files folder contains 26 files totalling 17.8 GB (this on a disk with 902 GB free space)
2. The specific DVD folder under Previews that I'm having trouble with is empty, but so are about half the other 12 folders that all (except one) seem to have worked. I get the impression that these Previews are created only when I deliberately force a manual rendering, which I don't always do.
3. My Media Cache Files folder contains 236 files totalling 774 MB (on the same drive with 902 GB free).
4. The Edit\Preferences\Media dialog is pointed to another folder on that same 902 GB-free drive & I think the settings are all Adobe default: 5.00 GB Cache size, all boxes checked. The resulting Media Cache folder contains 132 files at 97.7 kB, the Thumbnail Cache folder has 1 file of 31.4 MB.
5. I don't know what you mean by "pile-ups"; please explain.
6. Under Libraries\Documents I don't have an Adobe folder; just three locked out from me (My Music, My Pictures, My Video) & two others that wouldn't appear to be related to Premiere. Another level down under Libraries\Documents is Desktop which does have an Adobe Premiere Elements 12 folder, under that PRE 12 and ReadMe folders. In the PRE 12 folder are 6 folders & 59 files. The files are all dated 9/24/2013 & the folders yesterday; I'm guessing that this stuff all is related to yesterday's (re)installation.
Any further ideas will be gratefully accepted. In the meantime, I think I'll start a new project & see if it burns a disc. The presently-troublesome one was started several weeks ago, then set aside while I did other stuff, & when I came back I went through a "workflow learning curve" again (at my age, this happens) & may have screwed something up that Premiere can't deal with.

I really appreciate the fast sent solution about my failure to burn DVDs with Lion, but I am 89 years old and think I know something about computers, but don't have a clue about ZAPPing PRAM nor RESET SMC. I also can't find any evidence of a preserved earlier OS (Snow Leopard). I also don't know how to partition further my drive after all this time…(I used to have Parallels partitioned) but as I said I cannot find any where on the HD SN. Is it possible that it doesn't exist anymore? Not too technical, please, unless that is the only possible answer to this whole delemna..

Blue colored text in these forums usually indicates a clickable link. The two I posted in https://discussions.apple.com/message/18789716#18789716 bring up Apple's articles on those subjects. For partitioning information, peruse Disk Utilities help files, especially

I've reinstalled OS X 10.7.5 using the Apple servers but my files were not erased, has the HD been reformatted and 10.7.5 reinstalled?

Reinstalling OS X does not erase your files.

I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

Burned dvd not showing name or files.

I have burned an archive dvd by copying files onto the blank dvd and selecting the "burn" button from the finder window. Everything burns correctly and once the dvd has finished being verified, I have my uniquely named dvd and files displayed.
However, once the dvd is ejected, and then re-inserted, the dvd no longer has the name I have given it, and shows no files in the window.
How do I correct this? Are all the archive dvds I've burned no good?
Robb

The above burned dvds mount correctly on other drives and files can be copied from them.
How do I get my drive to recognize these dvds as having been burned and contain data?

All of a sudden I cannot burn DVD's anymore but I can still burn CD's?

I was burning a movie in popcorn and an error came up saying that the drive failed to write to disk. I am using TDK-R DVD's. Previously I had burned 25 of these same DVD's a couple of days earlier. So I tried to burn a music CD and I was successful. My next move to see if it was maybe the popcorn program was to try and burn a DVD of one of my own movies in DVD Studio Pro - it failed.
Please help!!!!!

If your Mac is still under warranty, palpentine, then head to Apple , who will simply replace your drive.
If not, then try a cleaning disc, . DVDs need a cleaner lens than CDs because of the tighter data specs/ denser data. The first sign of a dirty lens is usually a problem with burning DVDs, then reading DVDs, before losing the capability to burn, then use CDs too, etc etc. Once this starts to surface the quicker you clean the drive the greater your chances of success.
I know many people believe that the CD and DVD reading/ burning processes are independent of each other, but, in fact they both use the same lens (as is easily seen if you ever dismantle one of these drives) , and any problems with its cleanliness almost invariably show up through problems with DVD reading and burning first.

False MP3 files were created after capturing HDV

Hi,
Capturing from by Canon XH-A1 works fine.
Just the files that were created have the extension *.MP3
When you change this extension to *.mpeg afterwards, it works properly.
Question:
How to capture in *.mpeg directly? And not in that akward false mp3?
Thanks in advance

Burned DVD from iphoto but pics are black

I burned a DVD from iphoto that contained a large file of pictures. Upon opening the disk I could see the pictures. However, after scrolling through a few of them, my iphoto became extremely slow and then the pictures would not come back. Instead of seeing a picture I see a black box with a dotted frame where the picture should be.
The DVD worked when I opened APSE and I edited my pictures that way.
But why is my iphoto not cooperating with a disc that was created with iphoto?
Is it because I created the disc using an older version of iphoto?

Has something to do with me renaming the rolls of film.

Blu-ray says capacity too big when burning DVD Rom Folder Encore CS4

I have tried 3 times now to burn a Blu-ray Image file with a DVD rom Content Folder. The Blu-ray Image size is 45.90gb and the content folder is 1.6gb. The disk is a Sony DL 50gb Blu-ray. I have not tried to burn direct to disk because cost of Blu-rays. I am using Encore CS4. Is it that you cannot make an image file with DVD-rom for DL Blu-rays. Is there a number preset by Adobe for image file size for DL Blu-ray. Please help

45.90 GB on your hard drive and 1.6 GB on your hard drive add up to 47.60 GB.
In computer GB, (47.60 x 2^30) that's over 51 billion bytes. Sony and other blank media manufacturers report the capacity of their blank discs in normal GB (50 x 10^9), or 50 billion bytes.
Your project is too big to fit on the blank media that you have.

Quality of photos on burned DVD no where near original files

The quality of the photos in a slideshow I burned to DVD using iDVD 6.0 are NO WHERE near the quality of the un-edited original files. It's so bad I wouldn't even give the DVD to someone.
What gives? I chose "High Quality" encoding in iDVD.
I was expecting the photos to be burned as-is and to be viewable at the full, high level resolution.
Am I missing a setting?
Thanks!

What gives? I chose "High Quality" encoding in iDVD.
Use Best Performance instead. (Provided Playback is under 60 mins.) This will help slightly.
But overall you must keep in mind that DVD's are considered low resoltion devices. Often the still image quality is less than one third of a megapixel. And there's only so much you can do with this until we see Blue Ray Burners widely used on most macs.
Also, in the meantime you may want to check out a few 3rd party apps that specialize in slideshow production:

Burned DVD stops playing but soundtrack ok

Hi
When I burn a DVD it burns visuals up to a certain point and then stops. So when I play the DVD I get so far and then picture freezes. The soundtrack seems to be ok though so not sure why this is happening. Anyone any ideas ?

Hi spaceface:
What are you playing it in? The mac DVD player or a
stand alone?
Sue
Hi Sue
I am playing it in a DVD player but same problem exists when playing on the Mac. Ive re-tried and heres a copy of the error message I am receiving - probably will narrow the problem down somewhat !
Errors were found during the buring process.
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)

Burned dvd plays audio but not video

I just completed the first part of a wedding video and it burned fine. I just finished the second part and it looks and plays fine in imovie and idvd preview. However when I burn it and try to play it the dvd will only play the audio. the dvd starts like it's going to be fine, but the video stalls on the first frame and the audio continues. does anyone have any suggestions. I am trying to avoid starting over, but I don't know what else to do. I tried eliminating the first clip in case it was corrupt, but that didn't help.

First thing you might do is in iDVD, use the menu option to "Delete encoded assetts" in case the previous garbage from the last project or burn is messing things up. If that doesn't work here are my standard list of things I do when I have issue or even just before I go to burn a new project...
Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
Reboot your Mac.

Burn DVD, get audio but black screen and no video

Hi. I'm using iDVD 7.1.1. I exported a short movie (720p, 16:9) from Final Cut Pro (export as Quicktime movie) and stuck it in my project. It looks find when I preview it but when I burn the disk (Professional Quality encoding) I get a black screen after I click through from the menu, though I can hear the audio. Please help!!
(I'm using a MacBook Pro i7).
Thanks

Hi

Macbook Pro burns DVD+R DL - but isn't supposed to be able to?

Not your typical post - I've actually had something WORK, but now am wondering why...
Started a burn job to a dual-layer DVD+R disc, and while waiting on it, it occurred to me that maybe my Macbook Pro doesn't support +R. So I looked at system profiler, and +R does in fact NOT show up as a burn capability.
Is there a chance I'm causing damage to the drive, trying to do this? I would think that if it was incompatible, Toast would have spit it back out.
(BTW, I have yet to see any DL DVD-R disks for sale from the usual retail suspects; does such a thing exist, or are DLs strictly a +R thing?)

Your MBP should be able to burn CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL. Go to the /Applications/Utilities folder and run System Profiler.app. Click on "Disc Burning" in the list, and you should get information about the capabilities of your writer.
You're not causing any damage to the drive.
There are DVD-R DL disks out there, however, it doesn't appear to be a very popular format. In my experience, the DVD-R DL format (writing not supported on the Mac) is so-so reliable on computer, but far less reliable in set-top DVD players.
One thing that get me, though, is that iDVD appears to not be able to burn DL disks. That's a serious shortcoming.
