PE 8 crashes when burning a disc

I have a new HP PC that meets all of the hardware requirements to run PE8. I have successfully developed one 20 minute video
with titles, transisitions and music. I recently used InstantMovie to develop a 2 minute video which includes both stills and video. I used a
song from ITUNES. The problem is I can not burn a disc. PE crashes while encoding media. Looks like it crashes at the same spot every time - 14% Into encoding media. I tried un-installing and reinstalling PE8. and using a WMA music file instead of a song from Itunes. Nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help.

Good morning. I am thinking I may have had an "AH..HA" moment".
Yesterday I ripped a new music file that was a 48Khz WAV file using Audacity 1.3 Beta (unicode) and GSpot. Then used the "get media' function of PE8 to import in into my project and burn a disc. PE8 hangs at the 14% point no matter what I do.
Today, I deleted the WAV file completely from the project, the organizer and even emptied the trash can, then tried to burn a disc of just the project, without music. PE8 hangs at the 14% point just like before. Can I conclude from this experiment that the problem is not with the musc file, but there is something else going on instead?
Am I correct in locating the assets at the 14% mark. If the project is 3:13 minutes long...14% is acually 28% into the project
(3 * 60 + 12)*.28 = 53.76. So there may be a problem between the 53 and 54 second marker in the project.
I was going to try to select another music file that I have used successfully on a previous project. I realize this is an avoidance technique, but I am running out of options.
The song is from an album produced in 2002. I can't believe the security management for this album would be drastically different from other recordings I have used successfully.

Photo's out order when burned to disc

Hi, my photo's are in numbered order in the library but when burned to disc are all random,
they have been edited from 3 cards and saved as a smart colllection, how can I get them
to burn in order as library shows them !! thanks steve

You use the Export Dialog by clicking on <Export> bottom - left in the Library Module. See Screen shot:
This will open the Export Dialog. The second section from the top is <File Naming>. Click on the small triangle, see screen shot:
And select <Edit> from the list.
This will bring up the <File name Editor> where you can specify various parameters for renaming. i would suggest that you add sequential numbers in front of the file name to preserve the order of images. In the screen shot below I have selected a sequential number that will go from 1 to 10000 plus the existing file name.
Then click <Done> and <OK> and export your images to a location of your choice.
Since you are a newbie to Lr it would be good if you would watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. Lr is a complex program and without the tutorials you will make mistakes and get frustrated. The links for the video tutorials are on the main page of this forum, to the right where it says <getting Started with Lightroom 4>.
Go to this link http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-lightroom-4/ and at the bottom you will find specific tutorials for exporting.

Error message when burning a disc of photos

I was trying to burn a disc of a large number of photos - around 400, and I got this error message: "The burn to the HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS23N drive failed. The disc drive didn’t respond properly and can’t recover or retry." I did a sample burn of about 5 or 6 photos and it worked fine, but this large project failed. I have a total of 1200 pictures I'm trying to burn. Any advice? Thanks for your help. I have spent hours trying to get this project done. It looks like it is in the "preparing to burn" stage for 10 or so minutes, then when it gets ready to burn, I get the failure message. Thanks again!

Take your choice:
Bad discs
Dust bunnies in drive blocking laser
Drive failing
Crashed/corrupt firmware controlling drive
Crashed system component
Try different brand of discs and/or slower burn speed

Premier Elements 3 crashes when 'Burn' button clicked or 'Export to DVD' selected

After compiling a slide show in Premier Elements ( including rendering, previewing, saving) and I then try to either “Burn” or “Export to DVD” the programme immediately shows “Adobe Premier Elements.exe application error. The instruction at 0X0000000 reference memory 0X0000000. The memory could not be read.” OK or Cancel immediately shuts the program down and can’t be re-opened until the computer is re-started. On shut down a second message is displayed “The instruction at 0x00f96cb7 reference memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read. OK to terminate.’ I have replaced the RAM. I have repaired the programme many times with my original disc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programme many times. I have uninstalled Nero in case of a conflict. These fixing attempts seemed to have stopped message 2 appearing and the programme can now be restarted after it crashes without having to reboot. I have not been able to cure message 1, it crashes completely at any attempt to ‘burn’ a DVD or ‘export to a DVD’. I can use Windows to burn other discs without problems. I have previously burnt many other slideshow DVD’s without problem.
I cannot find anything similar to this fault in PE forums.
Hope to find some help.

Rosemary,
Trying to remember the full article, I do not think that I used too much "jargon," but in case that I did, I'll give you a quick distillation. You might want to still read on, as much more will be covered in that article.
When one starts a Project and then does a Save, a file is written to the location that the user chose. That file is [Project Name].prel. That file uses a computer language called XML. In the article, I show and example of a little bit of that language. That file ONLY contains a series of lines that link to the location of all Imported Asset files - the AV files, the still images, etc.. Those links are to where the various files were located on one's computer, when they did the Save. Next, there are a series of instructions for PrE to work with those linked Assets. These might be along the lines of "cut Shot_01.AVI at 00;00;30;00 and then again at 00;00;45;00," or "apply the Gaussian Blur Effect to Shot_02.AVI." Things like that. PrE is what is called a non-destructive NLE (Non Linear Editor) program, in that it never directly does anything to your original Assets, but only to the info gathered from them though those links. Your files are untouched, unless you were to do an Export/Share to that location, with the exact same name.
The .prel file only has some programming language inside. It is basically a database of links and instructions - not one Asset. It is not until a user does an Export, or Share (those terms basically mean the same thing, but in later versions, some of the old Export functions are now only under the Share tab), that any playable file is generated from PrE. Until then, there is nothing to play, only to Open in PrE (so long as the linked Assets still exist).
I hope that this makes sense. Many users are under the mistaken impression that Save will yield a playable file, or that one can play a .prel file. That is not the case, as explained above. This question has come up often enough, that I did the article to point out the differences, and give some tips on how to really get what one wishes.
After you read through the article, please do not hesitate to post any questions. What I want is something that is useful to all, regardless of their level of computer expertise, or their knowledge and familiarity with PrE, or any other NLE program.
Just let me know,
Hunt

Interlaced? (jagged lines) issue when burning a disc

I uploaded some standard definition DVD-R footage into my 2011 iMac (550gb). To get the DVD-R's vob footage into FCPX for editing, I first transferred the vob's to QT MOV's via MPEG Streamclip. I then imported it into FCPX as is (SD 640x480), then edited and completed my project without any issues or problems in FCPX.
My plan was to burn the finished project back to an standard definition DVD-R. I wanted to try it via four ways. 1) Burn the disc straight from FCPX. 2) Burn the project as an IMG to my hard drive and make the disc later. 3) Export the finished project as an H.264 QT MOV (at 640x480) and then burn the disc via Compressor. 4) Burn the H.264 MOV via Toast.
Here's the big problem: When it was time to either burn the project straight from FCPX to a DVD-R, or take my QT MOV of the same project and burn a disc via Compressor or Toast, the finished DVD-R, when played on a DVD player or in my Mac showed MAJOR interlacing issues (those jagged wiggly lines on people's bodies, especially during camera movement).
So what's strange is, the QT MOV files and the VOB files that I exported to my hard drive from FCPX (before actually making the disc) look and sound perfect. But when I try to burn the actual disc via FCPX, or Compressor, or Toast, the interlacing issues (jagged lines) appear every time. So it's obvious to me that there's something that the disc burning process, itself, doesn't like, or is having issues with. (I tried changing it Progressive and nothing gets rid of those jagged lines.
Any advice or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I did all all that before,
All what…including chaging field order and de-interlacong in Compressor?
Then it's probably not interlacing.
Post a screen shot of a frame before you imported into FCP and another sceen shot shot after exporting.
(Or is you'd prefer, upload a short section to Dropbox so we can see it and test it first hand.)
I used h.264 because there was no alternative.
I don't understand that; if you export as a master file, you should have a whole bunch of codec options.

IPhoto 2.0.1 Crashes When Burning a CD

iPhoto is crashing just after the disk image is created and mounted and before the burn actually begins. I tried restarting my Mac; same result. I rescued the disk image file from the Trash and used Toast to burn it (although I guess I could have used Disk Utility). I burned a disc in iPhoto a few months ago, so I don't know what has happened since then.
Thanks,

My iMac is what Apple calls the "Summer 2001" model, which has a built-in CD-RW drive. As I said, burning in iPhoto used to work, so I don't know why it would be crashing now. I had hoped that maybe among all the HP junk I installed for my digital camera would be something that could burn some sort of photo library, but no such luck. I thought I was going to have to use Toast to make a slideshow with the pictures on a VideoCD, until I thought of using the disk image file left over from iPhoto's failed attempt. It burned beautifully in Toast, and iPhoto recognizes the disc as an iPhoto CD.

IPhoto crashes when burning

Hi,
This topic as been talked about, but except for not having enough hard drive space for the disk image, no good solutions.
If I try to burn a DVD with my iMac G5 to back up my iPhoto library, iPhoto crashes. I say burn, a small window pops up, I click burn and iPhoto crashes.
iPhoto 5.04
I have enough hard drive space 179GB free on the 250GB drive!
iPhoto only thing running with 2 GB of memory. and ~1500 photos.
I can export the photos to a file and then burn that through the finder.
But, if I try to burn the iPhoto library with finder, it gives me a -43 error and won't burn.
I can burn through iDVD and through the finder other things, so it is not the MATSHITA DVD-R drive.
Trashed the iPhoto preference file, but it did not help.
So I used my PowerBook G4 laptop. Both computers on a LAN. (File sharing on). Moved my Powerbook iPhoto library ( so iPhoto could not find it), started iPhoto on the Powerbook, and when it asked for the library, I pointed to the iMac G5 library! I then went to burn a DVD and NO PROBLEM!!!
It burned just fine. I had thought it might be a problem with the library as it wouldn't burn through the finder but...
So I trashed the iPhoto application on the G5 and copied it over from the Powerbook, but it still crashed when trying to burn a DVD.
This is a bit long winded, but a lot of info (and clues?).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
This is how I resolved the problem:
Since I was able to back up my iPhoto library thru my laptop (see my original posting. Connected to iMac thru LAN),
I trashed the whole iPhoto library and used the back up DVD to make a new one. I could then burn a copy thru the iMac.
Something was corrupted in the library. I have no idea why i could back up thru the Powerbook (LAN). That makes no obvious sense! If the library is corrupted it is corrupted! But I could and it worked! The backed up library was "fixed".
One other option (if you cannot make a backup like I did) is to export the library(I was still able to do this), trash the library, then recreate it by "adding to library". If you made notes, rotated photos, etc, you might loose that info, but I haven't studied that so I don't really know.
Let me know if you fix the problem.

Error 4000 when burning a disc from itunes

When trying to burn a disc from itunes it looks as if all is ok and then it cancels itself and comes up with error 4000.

Lose audio when burning to disc image.

Hey guys. I am losing my audio half way through my project when I play it on a dvd. My audio is there after I export to quicktime, but when I create the disc image through iDVD and burn through Roxio toast my audio is only there toward the first part of my project. The video portion is fine though. Any thoughts on this would be great .
Thanks,
D.T.

Burning a disc image and copying it to disc is the recommended workflow around here -- it is one more action that you have to initiate, but it provides greater control (set the burn speed down to 1x or 2x) and it is less demanding on your computer (fewer errors?).
Re the audio -- if the music was purchased from iTunes, you may be caught up in a problem that should have been resolved in iLife06. There's a workaround (burning a CD from iTunes and re-importing) but provide some more details on the audio.

CD boundary when burning 2-disc album

Hello!
I wonder if it's possible to make iTunes respect the disc numbers stored in track metadata, when burning a 2-disc album. It's annoying that iTunes seems to fit as many songs as possible on the first disc. The problem probably also accumulates further in the case of 3 or more discs. I would like each iTunes-made disc to have as many tracks as the original recording.
One solution is to make a separate play list containing only the songs on a particular disc of the multi-disc album, and then burn the playlist. However, I would like to make this automatic.

Strange, that option is working fine here. Has it worked before on the same computer? Have you installed new drivers, or do you need to? The troubleshooting steps here might help. iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

ITunes crashes when burn disc

When I go to my playlist and click the icon "burn disc" iTunes instantly crashes. Have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and still have not been able to get it working. I get an error message that says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. Also, when I try to edit preferences about burning it crashes.

I'm having the same problem.

Elements 9 Crashes when burning onto DVD

I've attempted to burn a project with a newly bought Premiere Elements 9 software. It goes through rendering all three Disc Menus just fine. Then it crashes my entire computer(multiple times) when getting to approx 4-5% burning process. This morning I've spent 4 hours uninstalling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9, rebooting, then re-installing everything. Same thing happened.
I use to run Photoshop 7, and don't recall this happening.
Please help. My school project is due on Monday, which includes burning it onto a DVD for a grade!
Thanks

Adobe Premier Elements 7- crash-when burning says" Please insert a blank disk" and already a disk in

I have a Adobe Premier Elements 7. I have had a lot of problems with it of crashing and not burning.. I just had my computer wiped out and installed everything back on like windows xp service pack 3..etc. First I have Windows XP service pack 3 with an Intel Core 2CPU ,6400 @213GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM. When I went into disk menus premier elements 7 crashes... why is that??? also I tried to burn a DVD and does the progress of burniing and almost done burning WHILE there is a dvd in the drive and says"Please insert a blank disk and click ok to burning" why doe sit do that also? I just had adobe reinstalled and my computer wiped out? Please respond and help.. I am using this program as a business of video editing and nee this solved.

Along with Steve's questions, let's talk about the process of Burning a DVD-Video.
From PrE, which is doing the authoring of the DVD-Video, the first thing that happens is a quick check of the Project and the Menu Set chosen. This happens in an instant. Next, the program must Transcode the Timeline to MPEG-2 that is fully DVD-compliant. This takes some time and is a very intensive process, stressing the computer, and also heating things up greatly. This process will often cause a poorly ventilated, or poorly cooled computer to crash with either a reboot, or a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Every component, save for the video card, will be stressed like few other programs can do. PrE uses a 2-pass Transcode, where it goes through the entire Timeline, and maps out sections with high motion, or great detail. It builds a "script" on how to proceed, and then goes back at the Timeline with that script, but also still looking for ways to improve things. This is about 90% of the entire Burn Disc process. Nothing has yet to be burned. Instead, files are created in the Scratch Disk folders. Now, the program takes those newly created MPEG-2 files, the Menus, and all navigation such as Markers, and assembles them into another working folder, in the full DVD structure of VIDEO_TS folder with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. When this is done, the actual physical Burn starts. This is quite a ways into the total process. It is at this point, that the program looks at the burner and the blank media, and not before.
When the program cannot get the necessary info from the burner, or the blank media, it will throw an error message, similar to yours. Also, "SenseCode Errors" usually indicate a problem with the burner, or the media.
Now, let's address this last bit. Is the firmware for your burner up to date? If not, update/flash the firmware. This will be available from your burner mfgr's. Web site. Next, what brand of blank media are you using? Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended brands. Memorex, TDK, newer Ritek and all store brands should be avoided at all costs. Last, is your burner a fully-certified multi-drive? If so, it should be able to handle +R, or -R media. What type are you using, and are you sure that this is blank media, and not a disc that you have already burned, or even attempted to burn?
Hope that we can stop the crashes, and get you to burning.
Good luck,
Hunt
