Can't create a DVD

I am using premiere elements and created a film. I burned a DVD and all was fine. Now I added pictures and some music to the film and when I try to burn a DVD I get the indexing window and nothing happens -- even waiting for an hour. So, what can I do to create a DVD or determine what is wrong?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system?
What is your Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) and what are the properties of your source media on the Timeline being burn to disc. Is the intent NTSC or PAL and Standard or Widescreen? What are the pixel dimensions of those pictures that you have added? Does the addition of the pictures and music to the original Timeline represent a large increase in content or just a minor adjustment? What are the properties of the music that you added?
In the burn dialog just before you hit Burn, what does the Quality Area say there for Space Required and Bitrate for the original and this latest content?
If you take the very same Timeline content, can you burn that to folder without issues?
Have you moved around any of the source media that went into the project before you made those additions?
Thanks.

Can one create 2 dvd's instead of a DL-DVD?

Hi,
Can one create two DVD's as output from Encore CS 5, instead of one DL-DVD? This is a very big project - around 1.5 hours and I need to distribute to someone who might not have DL playback capabilities. I really don't want to go back to Premiere to come up with two sequences and then transcode again. This takes too much time. If there are ways to do this outside of Encore and Premiere if it's not possible to do it within Encore alone, that would also be appreciated.
I am assuming that what I want to do can't be done, from the following post:

Thanks,

Steve,
Encore is not the tool for this. Going back to PrPro will save you a lot of grief, and will be much quicker.
Just do the Exports for "Part 1," and then "Part 2." Do separate Projects in Encore, but you might want to do the setup first, without any Video and Audio Assets (except if used in Menus), and do a Save for this "template." Then, Open that "template" Project, do a Save_As (naming this Part 1), so you are not overwriting the "template," and then Import the unique Assets, link and Burn to Disc (Disc 1). Go back to the "template" do a Save_As (naming this Part 2), and repeat. Simple, and that "template" Project saves having to do the setup all over again.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I create a dvd with NO theme?

I'd like to create a DVD that shows an image of my choice when inserted in player, with one play button start movie. All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.

Hi
Easy is to put movie into AutoPlay box in organizing view in iDVD window (top left most box)
But this ends in a menu - This can be a black photo to simulate No Menu
All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.
No - and especially the old ones. AND by using the mid round button under the iDVD menu window (the one with two semi-circular arrows) You turn off Animation - I always do !

How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....
http://homepage.mac.com/geerlingguy/macsupport/mac_help/pages/0023-convert_dmg_imgiso.html
I've also heard that you can just copy an ".img" iDVD image to a pc, change the extension to .iso and then burn with Nero, etc. But I haven't tried it myself.....

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.

Can't create backup dvd ! Impossible de créer DVD de sauvegarde

Hi, before formating my hard drive, i want to save my file, i go in "Files---Library" and i can't find option create backup DVD, got only Organize/export library or import liste , can you help me please ?
Bonjour, voulant formater je souhaite sauvegarder ma bibliotheque iTunes, mais quand je vais dans "Fichier_bibliotheque" dans l onglet je n'ai pas la proposition pour créer un dvd de sauvegarde, j ai seulement Organiser/Exporter bibliotheque ou importer la liste, ou trouver l'option pour faire une sauvegarde ?

That feature has thoughtfully been removed from 10.4. You will have to use some other process - external to iTunes - to back up your files now.

Can not create a DVD (It gets green on the lower half of monitor)

Hi, everyone. This is second posting.
I still have a problem when burning the DVD.
Now I am ready to create a DVD.
Then I simulated the project on DVD Studio Pro 4 ,the lower half of the monitor gets green.
And sometimes I can not burn a DVD (can not choose "format") or even I could do it and mount it again , it shows "untitled DVD") Besides the burned DVD also gets green.
My project worked fine on final cut pro.
Did I install This application wrong?
or my Macpro has a problem with itself?
I need help. Please please give me any advise.
Thank you.

Yes, by citations I mean footnotes, or endnotes in this case.
I finally found the vertical ruler, which wasn't showing, but what really solved it for me was turning on invisibles, which let me see what the column breaks were doing. I still don't have the total control I want over the way it looks, but at least the two, two-column sections are separate and above and below the horizontal box. I wish all the citations were below the rule line.
But I was amazed and grateful to find that Word docs would drag and drop into Pages. This is going to be a great tool. I just started with it a few days ago. I will report the non-wrap bug.
Thanks,
Alan

Can I Create a DVD in Captivate 5 to auto-run on Standalone DVD Player

I upgraded to Captivate 5 and created a 4-minute "infomercial" of our product. I was able to publish it as an exe so stores could play it on their Windows computer. I was also able to publish it as an Application so stores could play it on their Mac computers.
But how do I publish it for stores that just have a cheap stand-alone DVD player? Most DVDs the stores get from other vendors have a DVD with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files on the DVD and this just starts playing when they insert the DVD. I want to do that as well.
Adobe tech support said to publish my Captivate 5 project as SWF and check the Auto-play box. This generated about 5-6 files but none start up right away (although the one with an htm extension does run on my Windows Computer if I first click on it.)
Past Forum postings from years ago seem to say to Publish using F4V, convert using Adobe Media Encoder and then use Encore to create the final DVD. I did publish using F4V and then downloaded Adobe Media Encoder from your web site and ran the F4V file through that. Now I am stuck. Do I need to buy a $1,600 product called Creative Suite 5 to get to the last step and create a DVD that plays automatically when inserted in a Stand-alone DVD player? There must be a simpler (cheaper) solution. HELP!!!

Hi there
I'm guessing you will need to consider publishing as Media (F4V with Fixed Frame Rate). Then take that and pop it into a converter such as the ones you may easily find using Google.

With iDVD, how can I create a DVD that auto plays on insert and then loops?

I want to burn a presentation using idvd which will be played at an exhibition. how do I create a dvd without menu that auto plays upon insert and then loops?
Thanks

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

If i edit in final cut pro x, how can i create a dvd

What is the best DVD creator to download to create DVDs from movies edited in Final Cut Pro X?

iDVD gets my top vote - it is no longer available from Apple, but still part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 versions available from online resellers. It offers customizable menus/themes which will give your creation a professional look. It encodes/authors and you can burn directly from it.
Second is Roxio Toast (no customizable menus, but many other features and an excellent burn software).
I've tried DVD creator and found it to be too simplistic. Then there is Burn (free) - it burns.
I use iDVD to "create" and Toast to burn.

Can't create a DVD project in imovie

Each time I try to create an imovie while I'm in imovie, it tells me that it must have idvd 4 or above. I have idvd 5. I've reinstalled my software but it keep doing the same thing.
Can anyone help me on this? The movie's are finished in imovie, I just want to burn them to a dvd to play in regular dvd players.

Hi Bedg!
What are you trying to import into iMovie, and from what source?
What version of iMovie do you have?

Can I create a DVD in Premiere Pro?

I found out what format to use for DVDs, but when I exported in that format I got something called an "xmp." It took about two minutes to create it, when creating a mov file takes a lot longer. The xmp doesn't play, either directly on my computer or after I burned it to a DVD. I'm clearly doing something wrong. Do I need another piece of software to make a DVD? It's not complicated, no chapters. I just need a DVD I can send to family members, some of them non-tech people who just want to pop it into their players and watch it.

Rrobin,
For the Export issue, let's start with the version of PrPro (and Encore), that you have, plus the OS version, that you are running.
Then, please let us know what Sequence Setting you are using, the specs. of the Audio & Video on that Sequence, and the approximate Duration of that Sequence.
Last, it appears that you are trying to Export that Sequence, for Import into Encore. If that is correct, please let us know what your Export settings are.
That will be a good start in troubleshooting your issues.
Good luck,
Hunt
