"media not present" error when burning blu ray in PE12

I have two systems, both ground-up builds, identical Win 7 Home Premium and Premiere Elements 12 installs.  Both systems have internal blu-ray burners.  One burner is an ASUS BW-12B1AT and the other is a Pioneer burner (don't recall the model number).
System 1:  Intel 4770k with Gigabyte MB
System 2: AMD 8-core with Gigabyte MB
System 1 gives "Media not present" error in PE12 when attempting to burn to blu ray discs using Verbatim discs. System is able to burn DVDs and CDs, and playback blu ray discs.  System is also capable of burning blu rays using Nero.
System 2 works fine - blu ray media is recognized instantly by PE12 when in the drive and burns blu rays perfectly.
I swapped the blu ray drives and SATA cables from System 1 and System 2 with the same result - this eliminated the drive manufacturer and cables from being the problem, as both drives worked perfectly in System 2 and neither worked in System 1.  I also tried different SATA ports and power supply taps on System 1 without any success.
Then, I noticed that on System 1, with the dialog box open and indicating the "media not present" error, if I ejected the blu ray disc and reinserted it, the burner LED would flash 18 times (approx. 1/sec) and then pulse briefly indicating a burst of activity for about 1 second, as if it was either reading the disc or writing to the SATA.  If I pressed the "rescan" button during this brief burst of LED activity, then the disc was recognized and I could proceed to burn it.    If I tried to press the rescan button at any time before this instant or after, the "media not present" error did not clear.
To me, this is an indication that something in the handshake timing of the SW and the burner is not correct, and that timing differences in the system HW are not provided for in the SW. I see that many others have had this issue and have had to buy work-around image burners to address this. I believe your burner drivers need to be reworked to eliminate this bug.  This is evidenced by the fact that Nero works and your SW does not, and that different systems consistently exhibit this problem.
Please let me know when you will have a SW patch to address this or if you have any idea of system settings that can be adjusted (I don't know of any myself) that would eliminate this problem.

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to contact Adobe, your likely route is via Adobe Chat.
If you have a feature request or bug report, then consider filing a Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Forum with Adobe
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The likelihood of an Adobe engineer seeing your thread here is essentially slim to none.
Your results are very interesting but lots more variables to consider.
Do you have any version of Premiere Elements other than 12? It would be interesting to learn if a prior version's burn
dialog would present with the Media Not Preset issue for your burn to Blu-ray System 1. That is easy enough done with a tryout of
11 or 10 or 9 from the following web site. ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus
On the other side of the coin, you could give the new version a look in this regard. A new version is expected at the
end of September 2014.
As an aside, have you updated 12 to 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, I would encourage
you to do so. It does correct an Expert workspace text styles issue plus other matters undefined by Adobe.

  • "Could not create ac3" error when burning Blu-ray

    I've spent the last week designing a Blu-ray in Encore CS5.  Upon burning, I was given the error message "Cannot create '_sessionfiles_Dsf_session_1_audio.ac3", and the burn failed (after going for seven hours).  I really don't even know where to begin with this.  The Blu-ray is about 80% full (20 GB) and includes multiple timelines and several menus (one of which has audio).  No pop-ups.  It should be a fairly straightforward project.  However, it's given me problem after problem and has taken way too much time.  Can anyone offer insight before I spend another week tracking down the problem?  Thanks.

    In the last few days, things have gone from bad to great and back to bad, and it's been non-stop work.  I freed up a ton of space on the computer and backed it up.  Then the computer gave me a kernel panic, which happened so often that I had to restore the whole computer.  I don't know if that's related to the Encore issue.  Then I tried to burn again, and it seemed to be working until it gave me an error message that said "Blu-ray Error: 'device error', code '3', Note: ".  So I looked around online and decided to export as an ISO disc image file.  That worked fine.  Then I tried burning a Blu-ray using third-party software, which failed halfway through.  Next I tried burning using Disc Utility.  It got all the way to the end and said "Could not verify" and failed.  I tried playing it in my Blu-ray player anyway.  For the first time, it actually worked.  The movie and the Scene Selection menu work fine.  But when I try to go to Special Features, nothing happens.  The Blu-ray is supposed to go to the Special Features menu at the end of the main movie, but it just goes to a black screen after that and locks up.  Now I'm really lost.  Any more suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Device error when burning Blu Ray disk at 96%

    Very simple program to use so far. Just drag and drop.
    My current project was shot in HD 1080p about 2 hours or 13 gig long and I made 4 lower resolution DVD's no problem.  I like how it shrunk it with out me having to do anything other than check the box (use space available)
    However when I went to make Blu Rays in addition to taking about 18 hours its gets right to the end and spits the disk out unfinished and has device error at about 96% of burning finished. Disk will not play.
    I have ruined 3 blank  4x blu ray disks so far, same result.  I have down loaded and installed the 8.01 update, I will turn off the screen saver and anything else I can find, before I try it again.
    Its a new computer with only PE8 running on it.  Quad core Gateway with 8 gig ram and a almost empty 1tb hard drive and LG blue ray writer.
    I have not tried to burn anything else with the blu ray writer, as thats what PE8 was for.
    I did not have the timeline fully rendered before I started, if that makes any difference.
    Anybody have any ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry I'm a newby. I'll put this is PRE 8 where it belongs.

  • Runtime error when burning blu ray disc

    I am attempting to burn a 1080i/29.97 blu ray disc and when it gets to something like 99% finished, i get a runtime error, and then
    encore crashes. Could it be there there is not enough space on the disc? The video and audio combine to somthing like 23.5 GB.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.Also, running encore 4.0.

    This Adobe KB Article might be able to give you some tips.

  • Has a stop marker any function when burning blu-ray discs with Premiere Elements 12?

    Stop marker when burning blu-ray discs with Pre 12. Does it works?

    Amiral
    No.
    This applies to Premiere Elements any version.
    Stop markers placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc are not recognized at playback of that disc using the Blu-ray player.
    If you need Blu-ray disc with stop markers, you can export your Premiere Elements Timeline content to an appropriate file type that will be compatible with a 3rd party software which will get the job done. I have heard that a software such as DVD Architect can do that, but I have not been there and done that.
    Stop markers function at playback of DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc only. And, never place a stop marker at the end of the last item on that Timeline.

  • What causes Media not present error, even with disc inserted

    I have a 2 hr  video project that I would like to place on a DVD in NTSC format.  I get an error msg "Media not present" even with DVD inserted in burner.  I have checked "Fit content to available space".  Is the 2 hr project too long to compress onto the DVD, or are there other possible causes?  I did a 1 1/2 hr project with no problems.  I have plenty of hard drive space.

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    The problem is the disc in the burner tray not being recognized by Premiere Elements. Another frequent related issue is Burner Location: in burn dialog being empty when the Premiere Elements does not recognize the burner.
    In the problem that you have,
    a. Have you tried other brands/types of DVD discs?
    b. If you start a new project and take the new Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, does the problem remain the same?
    B. Have you tried program uninstall/free ccleaner run through/reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    If you are in a time crunch, you should consider burning the Timeline content to folder and then taking the VIDEO_TS Folder from that
    saved folder into a program like ImgBurn for the DVD-VIDEO on DVD production.
    Please review and consider and then we will supply you with how to details. Looking forward to your results.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present.  Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13.  What is the problem?

    I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs.  I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12.  When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message.  It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
    What is going  on here?
    When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13.  Looks like a format change?  Can I convert file back to PE12?

    Look to Burn To: in the Burn Dialog,  and scroll down there to the option that you want.
    Please let me know if this ISO Image choice is going to work for you. But I will keeping searching for the answer to these no media present situations.

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • Burning Blu-Ray: Sometimes successful / Sometimes not

    I've been burning Blu-rays for the last couple of days. After a couple of burns, I get this message:
    But, here's the deal:
    I do indeed have a disk in the burner
    I can't eject said disk (so the computer may "find it") without dismounting...
    If I do unmount the burner, FCPX starts the burn process all over... with the same above message
    A "cycle" ensues... until I restart--not just the app--but the computer.
    Then... I'm good for a couple of burns before the cycle starts again.
    Trouble shoots:
    I've tried this across TWO different burners--two different brands, one NEW out of the box. Same result.
    This has happened across TWO different projects in the same library
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • How do I add a second dvd burner (blue ray) to a HP Pavilion 500-023w?

    I have a fairly new Pioneer dvd blue ray burner that I would like to install in my HP Pavilion 500-023w. It is currently residing in my old XP machine, also a HP Pavilion. I guess that there is a different front panel that will acept a disk drive ?? The plastic front plate just below the installed drive is very large and will have to be completely removed to install any thing. I know this pc only has a 300 watt power supply, but I will only be using one drive at a time anyway. (Worked well in my old Pavilion...also a 300 watt supply!)
    Any one know how to get a drive into this machine? The drive is a Pioneer BDR-S07XLT. It has a SATA interface. I will probably need updated drivers for the drive as it says that it works in Windows 7, XP and Vista.

    Thuis video is of some use:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXk5sPvSdD8
    You only have one 5.25 inch optical drive bay so you are going to have to remove the existing drive and replace it with the one you want. 
    Specs
    The video shows how to add a pci-e card but does show opening up the unit. It looks like you need to remove the power supply, unbolt the optical drive and slide it back and out of the case. Replace it with the Blu-Ray drive. You will not need drivers but you will need software to play Blu-Ray movies. You can actually modify VLC media Player for free to play Blu-Rays. Just google a bit and you will find out how. 
    Good luck.
