Can I burn AVCHD project to DVD disc?

I've read that AVCHD uses the DVD format. Does this mean that the nice HD camcorder recordings I have will, after being processed by PE, show nicely on a wide screen television? Does this question even make sense.

AVCHD is High Definition, a DVD is Standard Definition
For true AVCHD quality on a disc, you need BluRay (which Premiere Elements will do, if you have a BluRay burner)
There IS a way to put "about" 20 minutes of HiDef on a BluRay, but it will NOT play in a DVD player, the disc will only play in a BluRay player

Encore CS5 Hanging at Transcoding When Burning Transcoded Project to DVD Disc

Hi
I'm a bit stuck and hope for some help.
I have a NTSC DVD project, 4.1 GB in size, which has previously built to DVD Disc, and I have just tweaked a couple of the menu buttons, tried to build to disk again, and the process hangs at "Transcoding..."
Now, this transcoding phase isn't even needed. All the assets have already been transcoded and the project tab shows that this is the case and they will not be transcoded.
I have saved a new project file, cleared out my cache and media cache, and even moved them to a different drive to make sure they were created again in empty folders.
I'm up against a deadline and my PAL project worked perfectly first time. So I'm at a loss at what to try next.
Can you help?
Many thanks
Jim

As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator,
which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and
which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD or a BluRay, you must
have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option... and a Mac version

Can't burn imovie project to DVD

I am using my sony video camcorder to import to imovie. That was a success and I was able to export the video to iDVD, but it will not let me burn to a DVD. It says that the file is too large to record on a single layer disc and i need to insert a double layer disc. How is it not able to burn when a DVD can record 120 minutes, and mine is 1 hour and 55 minutes? I tried to save as disk image so I could burn it on toast, but it wont let me do that either.

First off, in the preference setting, you have to change from the default setting of Best Performance (60 minutes max) to Best Quality (120 minutes max) to allow the full two hour time span for an iDVD project.
Second, that 120 minutes includes everything, iDVD menus, music, motion, slideshows, etc. not just the movie itself. So with a movie that is 115 minutes long, you only have 5 minutes for menu and iDVD slide shows and stuff like that. Drop in a few menus each with a 2-minute song and you easily blow past the 120 minute mark.

Can't burn multiple projects to DVD

I imported photos into iPhoto, then separated the photos into three different albums, each with a different name. I then worked on each individual album of photos in iDVD, creating slideshows, giving each slideshow a different Theme and audio (songs) from iTunes. Everything is working fine so far.
I then burned the first slideshow onto a DVD. When I attempted to burn the second slideshow onto the same DVD, it would not work.
I then saved each slideshow as a disk image and attempted to burn them with the disk utility. Again, I can burn the first slideshow but not the second and third to the same DVD.
I then attempted to drag the three .img files onto the icon of the DVD and it seemed to be working, however, I eventually got an error message. At this point I opened the .img files and dragged the Audio_TS and Video_TS files (from all three projects) onto the DVD icon. It appeared to burn to the DVD, but when I placed the DVD into my DVD player, only the first project burned.
I am gathering from other posts on this site that it is possible to burn multiple slideshows with audio onto a DVD but I certainly haven't figured out how to do it.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can burn multiple slideshows with audio, originating from iDVD, onto one DVD. Any help would be most appreciated.

Excellent progress -- you wondered about multiple themes, and although I haven't done that recently, you are be able to create a submenu with the Folder icon; once you're on the submenu, just set a new theme and it should just change the menu you're working on.
from iPhoto via QuickTime to iDVD, this process does not allow adding captions to the photos in iDVd...is my assumption correct.
-- Correct, you'll have to add captions in iPhoto (has a basic titling feature), in Quicktime Pro, or use the extensive text features in software like Photoshop/Elements (add it to a copy of the photo and then reimport to iPhoto). It's a bit of work, but you can create a nice effect of the title fading out with this latter option (if you want your slide to have a five sec duration, use the titled photo for 3 sec then the original slide for 2 seconds -- then use the cross-dissolve transition).
Deleting iPhoto pictures will not affect the QT movie if you've made it self-contained (typical setting), and iDVD will be unaffected as well.
I'm not aware of any restriction on iPhoto transitions that would require a new video card -- the rendering will take longer on slower processors -- what are your symptoms (perhaps post it separately for others to weigh in?)?.

DVD Studio Pro 4 "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use." How do I fix this to burn a project to DVD?

Trying to burn a project to DVD but get this error message: "Formatting Failed, One of the volumes on the disc is still in use."
How can I fix this?
Thank you for the help!

what does this mean?
You have a disc inside your optical drive.
Not sure what they mean by volume still in use, this apparentely is keeping me from burning info such a pictures and or video's,
how can I fix this?
Remove the extra disc.
My answers are basic because:
You never told us which model iMac you have?
How you are burning? Through iMac? External burner?
Which OS you are currently using?

I get an error at 99% of the burn when trying burn avchd movie to dvd

I have had premiere elements 10 for a few months and starting about a week ago I have been getting an error while trying to burn video to a dvd disc in avchd format.
I have used several different discs but the error always occurs at 99% of the burn stage. The buring just stops no matter how long I wait. I can still burn avchd disc using the video browser program that came with my cannon vixia hd camera.I don't have any problems burning video to dvd in standard format. I am a novice at this judging by what I have read in the forums. My computer is relatively new hp running windows 7 premium home 64 bit. To the best of my knowledge nothing has changed on the computer,
and I have plenty of memory.

David,
Thank you for that information.
First two thoughts:
What brand and type of blank media are you using?
Have you checked for updates for your multi-drive/burner's firmware?
Both of those can impact the success of a burn.
As a test, I would Burn to Folder, then use a utility, such as ImgBurn (free and great), to see if this is a media, burner or perhaps PrE issue.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more,
Hunt

I can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas, i can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas

i can't burn a playlist to a disc from itunes, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas?

Additional information:
-also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
-am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago. Tried another brand also to be safe. None worked.
-ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
-also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
-tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
-Apple suggested it was a copyright issue. I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
-They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently.
Solution:
Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked! Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there. That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings. Not sure why. Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

How can I burn a playlist to a disc which will play in any CD player?

I am trying to burn a playlist to a disc that I can play in a CD player. I have a HP Lightscribe DVD/CD burner. The software is Cyberlink Power2Go. I have wasted two blank dvd discs so far. They will play on my computer, but that's not what I need. I want to play them in a regular CD player, such as I have in my truck.
When I choose "audio CD" I get a message that "I have chosen a CD but have inserted a blank DVD" and it won't let me choose anything else.

You need to burn onto CD-R or CD-RW discs. You cannot burn to a blank DVD disc for the purposes of playing CD-Audio. They are different media with different characteristics, just like you can't play a DVD in a CD player.

Buy iDVD.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the substitutes. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
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.)

How can I burn a CD or DVD for regular data files using anything other than itunes?

If you need simple burning, do as Robert said. However, if you need more advanced options, take a look at Roxio Toast 10 Titanium. There is also a Pro HD version if you need more video burning options.

Can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVDs

Hi there! I own a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with Tiger updated and a Pioneer dvd recorder Mod. DVR-110D Firmware ver. 1.37. I can't burn Verbatim Archival grade DVD-R because I always get the following error code: 0x8002006E. It happens with Finder burn and Toast 8 too! Is a solution there to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
Greetings Fabry
Powermac G5 2Ghz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Fabrizio!
I am particularly interested in your problem because I was about to buy some of those very disks!
In fact, I started this thread some time ago:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4140243&#4140243
I have been googling the error code, and from a variety of Mac related forums it appears that, as Templeton suggests, it is an incompatibility between the burner and the media.
Some have had the problem with Matshita, some with Pioneer superdrives. Some have had success with exchanging one superdrive for another, some with using different media.
What is strange is that Verbatim DVD-R of the 'regular' kind are the preferred brand here. I have read that F Shippey, who I hope will chip in here if he sees this thread, has tried the Verbatim Archival grade DVDs.
We need a bigger user sample!
Have you tried burning them at only 2x or 4x in Toast?
Do you have any problems burning 'normal' Verbatim DVDs?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.
