I'm unable to burn a DVD of my project.

I've been working on a slideshow project (jpeg stills + audio) in PE11, Windows 7. The Publish & Share to DVD worked fine - burned test DVD's for editing along the way. After I burned what I thought was my final version, I selected "export files to play on computers". I corrected an error in my project and then tried to burn another DVD. The process stops @ 99% saying "runtime error: unknown exception".
Project size: 4.38 GB, length 1:13.
Fixes tried that didn't work: defragmenting, freeing space on hard drive (120 GB free), burning to a folder.
Can you help, please.

Before all else, check out Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/11.0 and the
Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Files Folder (I deleted these files to
clear hard disc space after my burn hang up problem started and I had
tried all other suggestions without success) and Media Cache Folder. Where's
the Media Cache Folder? Let us know if you find pile up of files in either
one. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and, in the Media Cache Database
area, click the Clean Button.
1. Make a copy of the project.prel file that you used to make your original
DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc. Done
See File Menu/Save a Copy. Name the Copy something different but easily
recognizable.
2. Open the copy project.prel. Expand the Timeline content with the Zoom In
and Zoom Out slider above the Expert workspace Timeline. In the track
contents, look for anything out of place. Look for slivers and leftovers
for files that you thought that you had deleted. These things usually
present as very, very thin black vertical lines scattered about the track
contents. This is great info - really makes editing easier. Found &
deleted several slivers and many gaps.
3. As I asked before, when you changed the duration of your photos in your
edit of the originals, did you lose any video transitions in the process.
Is your disc menus creation still there? My transitions and menus creation
are still there...not lost.
4. In whatever you are doing, the important thing to remember is not to
move any of the source media that went into one of your projects after you
have saved closed them. All source media used in projects is in the
original location & under the same name.
5. Since have not been able to burn to file or folder for your DVD-VIDEO, I
suspect that the core of the issue is that Timeline content. I'm trying to
burn the new copy project just created to a DVD tonight. Going slowly, but
going. Wasn't able to render project first because the time device hung up
near the beginning. Will let you know how this burn goes. Keeping my
fingers crossed...

Unable to Burn a DVD

I am unable to select any files to burn. I am choosing Disk Utility when inserting a blank DVD. A Disk Utility window opens and shows three drives. One of them is the optical drive. If I click on the "Burn" button, the Select Image to Burn window opens but no files can be selected, they are grey'd out and the "Burn" button on the lower right hand corner is grey too and never becomes selectable.
I am the only user and my account is admin. I've tried two different media but that doesn't seem to be where the root cause is. What's going on? I thought Apple computers were intuitive, I can't believe I'm that stupid. I've searched the Help Viewer but the text does not match what I see when I insert the blank disk. It says that once you insert the media and you've chosen the app. you want to burn with, a disc icon should appear on your desktop. I never see this icon. It then says to double click on it, which should open a window and then drag your files to be burnt to this window. Seems pretty straight forward to me but that's simply not what I'm seeing.
Any help is much appreciated.

HP dv6263cl DVD Rom unable to burn any dvd

dear hp/support team mates:
i have purchased HP 6000 series notebook in Oct -07 and i m satisfied with its performance. intially i didn't have any data to burn on the dvd rom. but with passage of time i have data which requires backup on dvd rom. now the problem i m facing is i m unable to write/burn any data on blank dvd's which are available in open market.
i have changed different brands of dvd rw and used multi softwares to burn the dvd. everytime i get the error its dvd fault which is unable to have write on it. now i m not technical person but if proper guidence is transfered then i m able to diagnose the issue.
the error i get is .. The disc in the drive is not writable disc or it is full. Please insert a writable disc in drive.
now waiting for the response from your end.

Can you play a movie dvd? In other words is the dvd drive otherwise operational? If you have never reloaded the operating system after 2.5 years that would be the place to start. After all that time it is very possible the registry or other part of software is corrupted. You also say you have installed multiple disk burning software installations. That can pose a problem. I would ask you to recover it to factory state or better yet install a new clean copy of Windows 7 so we can properly isolate potential hardware issues from software issues.
We are not official HP people by the way just users who volunteer to help.
I am assuming you have Vista but if that is wrong let us know.

Got quicktime pro, unable to burn a dvd to play on yv

When i export a movie to .mp4 format, my movies are unable to play on my dvd that plays .mp4 format. any suggestions on the problem?

Most probably, your dvd-player needs DIvX-format wich is a varience of mp4 format, but different from the exact spec's for mp4.
Many hardware suppliers claim their players play mp4, but infact its the (slightly) different DivX.
You can download a Divx plug-in for quicktime. If you have QT-Pro, you can then export to Divx.
make sure that you don't exceed the aspect/pixel ratio that your device can play (it's smaller then on your computer). You can find this on the DivX website under the harware spec's
I had the same problem, solved it but stopped doing this and just burn my DvD in regualar format (it's to much of a hassl doing otherwise)

Unable to burn to DVD

Created a slide show in PSE 8 (apprx 200 slides 21 min run time) .. selected "output media" and chose Burn to DVD .. all I get is a dialog box asking where I want to the WMV file. I was expecting to be able to burn to a DVD for play back on a TV ... It would appear that PSE 8 is not recognizing the DVD burner (if I point to in the save dialog box, I get illegal function error) ... If I export to PRE 8, it recognizes the DVD drive (but as discussed in another forum), simply does not want to work .. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated ..thanks

PSE 8 cannot burn a video dvd to play in a dvd player, only a data dvd to use on a computer or a terrible vcd. If you want to make a video dvd you must use other authoring software, like Premiere Elements or whatever came with your dvd burner, to create it.

Dynamic Link (Adobe Premiere Pro to Encore) issues with burning a DVD from the project file

Hello,
I am running Adobe Suite CS 5.1 on my Mac:
2.8 GHz Quad Core
6GB Memory
I've been having issues with a few projects; using Dynamic Link, directly from my project in Premier, to send them to Encore:
When attempting to burn a DVD, Encore will 'hang up' and not burn; I rarely burn to DVD, usually I'm always encoding for web, and just always use the 'default settings' in Encore.
A few things to note:
*In my project I'm using MOV files, from a Canon 7D, and MP4 files, from a Sony EX-1.
*I am working off of 3 separate hard drives; very large projects with over 5TBs of media files.
*I noticed that after inserting a DVD, it caused one of my hard drives to eject; this happened once, as far as I know.
*This only happens when I use Dynamic Link to send to Encore, via my Premiere Pro project file.
*My Project settings are always: XDCam HD-1080p/24p
Please help.
Thanks

So you must downrez at some point in the workflow. Some users have problems and/or think they get better quality out of direct PR/AME exports than using DL for this purpose.
I would test the workflow by creating three short test sequences - one with a clip from one camera, a second from the other, and a third with both in a sequence using the same settings you are using in your edit. I would use the "drag a clip" to the new item method for making each of the first two sequences. By short I mean 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a mixture of still and action.
Export using whatever method you pick of those recommended, but use CBR 8 instead of VBR etc. Bring the resulting files into Encore. Yes, look at the files exported on the computer, and look at Encore preview, etc, but also burn to a disk and watch on multiple TVs. There are lots of issues in best quality.

Only problem is inability to burn a CD/DVD using the Ultra Base (Mat**bleep**a) CD/DVD burner. Tried the "built-in" Windows 7 program and CDBurnerXP. Will burn 10 to 15% of the disk and then errors out.
I have disabled the Turbo Memory and it made no difference, rolled the Intel Storage software back to a previous version - no help. Have not found any other posts regarding this problem. Reads CD/DVD just fine - burning is the only problem. Have not found any newer drivers for the Mat**bleep**a CD/DVD device. Uninstalled device (through Device Manager) rebooted, found and reinstalled drive - still fails to burn a CD/DVD.
Will post on a couple other boards -

Unable to burn on DVD-R

I created a movie on iDVD last week. When I went to burn to a disk, the software ejected the DVD (DVD-R) and then says to "insert a recordable disk". It's a brand new disk. In reviewing the side of the Macbook box, among other disk formats, it mentions DVD-RW and not DVD-R. Could this be the problem?

Thanks for the quick response. In reviewing below, it appears everything should work. Another problem we encountered today is that it's not playing any DVD's, but it will recognize CD's. After inserting several DVD's, the device ejected the disk within approx 8 seconds.
Any help would be appreciated.

IDVD is missing in my Mac pro. How do I burn a DVD from iMovie project?

I have a new Mac pro and prepared a project in imovie. When I activated the share button for iDVD in iMovie, the application was not found. Any idea on how to burn my movie project to a DVD?

I have a new Mac pro
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

Imovie09 Burning to DVD from HD project file

I have just burnt a HD edited imovie project file to a DVD using the 'large settings' in IDVD after exporting to media browser. The results when played on a DVD player are extremely low quality. There appears to be a considerable patterning affect on the pictures. The same poor quality is apparent when playing the DVD on the macbook. Playing the AVCHD project in Imovie is fine. Can anyone help with this, or experienced the same problem? I have just upgraded to Snow leopard, and have produced DVDs before using Leopard and Imovie with the same settings. Thanks

Unable to burn DVD's

I own a PowerMac G4 with combo drive, 768 SDRAM running Tiger 10.4.3. Purchased a LaCie d2 DVD RW external burner to save my Quicktime movies made with iMovie. Using the software included Toast 6, I am unable to burn a DVD. Numerous calls to tech support over a 2 1/2 month period yielded no help. I returned the unit and received a new one. Same error messages on both units.
" Connection not stable" "Disk failed to be written". I changed the ports on both the computer and burner as well as purchasing a new firewire cable. No change. The only disk that I was able to burn 2 months ago was very pixilated.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any suggestions?
Sorry for the length of the post, but I tried to include as much info as possible
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Make sure you've installed the most recent Toast update from Roxio.com. If yours is Toast 6 Lite, the current version is 6.1. If it is Toast 6 Titanium it is 6.1.1. Those are required for Macs running 10.4.x.
I believe your error message may be due to poor-quality media. Most often this message appears when using DL media other than Verbatim DVD+R DL. Try using a different brand of quality media.
Another possibility is that your Mac has an OS problem related to its Firewire. These usually can be fixed by downloading and applying Apple's 10.4.4 combined system updater (even though you are already using 10.4.4).
LaCie has a firmware update on its support site. Download and apply it to update the drive's firmware. If the drive doesn't need updating the firmware updater will tell you so. Firmware updates typically increase the brands and speeds of media that the drive will burn to successfully.

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.

Burn data dvd no longer works since 9.0.1 or 9.0

Since the latest iTunes update, at least 9.0 or 9.0.1, I am unable to burn backup DVD data disks which is my "offsite" backup method besides using Time Machine on an accessory drive. The DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109: Firmware Revision: 1.58. I get error messages, did not save the text, but usually read/write errors, "sense" issues usually cited after several attempts. However, seems to work fine burning from Toast and fine for burning iTunes Audio CDRW disks. Anyone else experience this? I see several having problems recently burning CD's from iTunes, but not this specific issue. I know it's nearly time to update my system to Intel, but it would be nice to hold on a little longer...I did try to force lower speed DVD writes with no help. Thanks...

Burning a DVD from CS4 on a Windows 7 computer

I'm unable to burn a DVD from the edited timeline in CS4. I have Windows 7 Home Premium software loaded on my PC. When I go from Dynamic Link to Encore I get an error message stating Encore is not compatible with my PC. How can I burn a DVD using CS4 and Windows 7?

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the slowest possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim dual layer

Can't burn Multisession DVD's

Hello,
I'm unable to burn Multisession DVD's with my PowerBook.
Whenever I select a disk image to Burn with Disk Utility the option to "Leave disc appendable" is greyed out.
Also, I'm unable to write Multisession DVD's with Toast 6.1.1 either.
I've tried this with two different brand DVD-R's with the same result.
I'm using a PowerBook 1.67GHz G4 17" with it's original Matshita DVD-R UJ-835E drive.
Thanks,
Anthony
PowerBook 17" G4 1.67Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Matshita DVD-R UJ-835E drive

I did an extensive search of the Mac OS and Toast Help menus but I didn't find any info on the lack of support of this. So, I ended up contacting Roxio about it.
Thanks for the link, by the way. The poster that contacted Roxio support got essentially the same answer I did, that Toast doesn't support multisessoin since a multi-session DVD won't be shown correctly in Mac OSX.
Take care,
Anthony
From a brief google search, it appears multi-session
