PE12 hangs during encoding/burn to file or disk. Dvd OK, AVCHD hangs

Good day to everyone.
I have a 55-minute project conaining images, SD video and few HD AVCHD.  Trying to burn this onto a DVD at a AVCHD res.
Problem: 
If I chose the "DVD: res, under the pull-down option of "publish+share", then, I have no problem encoding, burning the whole project onto a file or a dvd.  But if I try to burn it as an AVCHD, no matter which setting (1440 X1080i, or 1080p etc.) i chose, forget it.  one time it hung at 98% during encoding, other times, it kept hanging after encoding was completed, but got stuck at 1% during subsequent burn process (to file, not even an inserted DVD). I had selected either one of the file sizes (4 GB or 8GB) and checked the selection for "fit to .....".  By hang I mean: after 8 hours it was still at the same spot.
Again, burning at standard dvd res works well. Burns to file, burns to dvd, no problem and the video looks fine. I even followed the suggestion of A.T. Ramono in one of his posts to another member and downloaded the ImageBurn software in order to isolate whether the issue is my burner or some where before that as i was trying to figure out what is going on.
I'd like to burn this project at a higher def as some of the pictures and vids are somewhat blury when I burn it as standard dvd res. Some images and vids are blury.  I also see the same bluriness while during preview (before I even move to burn a copy), but if I pause during the preview, the video and images that were blury, crisp up to a perfect image. 
My system is a Dell XPS, Wind XP, 4GB RAM, two HDs.  Source on one with with 133GB of available, defragmented clean space left.   OS, programs and rendered files etc all are on the other drive with 230GB of clean defrag available space.
Anyone can help me figure out what is going on?

Thank you John.
I read the post.  But it trigered a follow up question.
While my intention is to burn a AVCHD copy onto a disc, I can't even get the burn completed when I chose "Burn to folder:  (8.5GB)" AND I even check the box for "fit the content to available space"  So, I would assume that if the physical space on an actual DVD is the problem, then by
1) checking the box that forces the media to fit the available space" and
2) that I'm burning to a folder, not a DVD media
I should have no problem.  Right?
can you please elaborate ?
Thank you in advance.

  • How to burn VOB files onto a DVD?

    Hello everyone, I've seen this question asked in other forum postings, but I can't seem to find the specific answer I'm looking for.

I appreciate any help and support I can get, thanks!

  • Burning Large File to Multiple DVDs

    I am trying to burn a large group of files to multiple DVDs. I have Roxio Toast at work and all I do is drag all the items into the CD and it tells me how many DVDs it will require and asks me for the next one when the first is done. Pretty easy. I dont have toast at home and am wondering how to do that with the default built in burn software.
    I did a search, but my search skills are lacking and after pages of non-related seaching I figured I would just post the question.

    I'm also interested in this question and am confused.
    Are you talking about * Explanation 1) making duplicates of a CD without having to manually drag every single folder onto a dvd - or * Explanation 2) copying one set of data, too large for one DVD, across multiple DVDs (like span/concatenation).
    Itchandscratch - in the subject line you say 'large file' then 'group of files' in your explanation. If the files are in a group (comprised of smaller individual files) could you not say, halve them and burn onto two disks - or is the folder system of the group complex? But then you say
    "I have Roxio Toast at work and all I do is drag all the items into the CD and it tells me how many DVDs it will require and asks me for the next one when the first is done" Suggests not Explanation 1
    KJK555 You say "Drag and drop files and folders until image reaches DVD size.
    Close image." Which made me think we are talking about explnation 1
    Sorry if i'm being stupid. I'm interested but confused! : )

    This is apparently a known issue with Toast and some of the newer Macs.

    I don't have a solution other that to say that users who report the problem mention that burning to external drives or with different programs like DVDRemaster have reported success.
    Are you just trying to copy the file to a DVD or re-author it for DVD player playback?

  • Burning Movie files to cd/dvd

    Can I burn tv shows or movies I download to a dvd or other useable format for playback on a set top DVD player?
    Is there a way to convert m4v format to mpeg1/2 or other video format that can be used to generate a movie disk?

    Sorry but Apple has placed heavy copy protection on the videos from the iTunes music store. It is not possible to do this. The only way you can burn it is as a file on a back-up cd or dvd but it will only be a file and not be playable.
    Hope this helps

  • Disk Utlity can't burn .img files to disk

    I'm newly digitizing old Beta tapes via a Canopus capture card. I've output my IMovie/iDVD projects to image files, but when I use Disk Utility to burn a DVD from the .img file I get nothing but verification errors and different checksums. I'm using Apple 4.7 Gb disks. The DVDs seem to play OK on my home Toshiba player, maybe with some stalling.
    If I burn the iMovie/iDVD project directly to a DVD and then create a disk image file from that disk, Disk Utility burns successful copies from the .dmg file even on cheap-o Memorex disks.
    I'm perplexed. This seems backwards. Could it be the difference between .img and .dmg files? Maybe I'm not using Disk Utility correctly in selecting/mounting/opening the image files...?I must say that Disk Utility Help is not very helpful.
    I have the same problem on my new LaCie drive and the old SuperDrive.

    More info:
    After further investigation I 'discovered' Disk Utility:Images:Convert in the Disk Utility menubar. When I converted .img files to .dmg they seem to burn easily and accurately. I wonder why this isn't documented.
    I'm wondering what the functional difference is between .dmg and .cdr image files.

  • Burning single file across two DVD-Rs

    My aunt has given me her digital video recorder. She wants me to make a DVD out of the video of my cousin's graduation. The thing is, she recorded the entire ceremony and then some (+2hours long!!). I copied the video onto my HD. I tried to just use Toast 6 to burn it but, of course, I don't have enough disk space on the 4.7GB DVD-Rs. Is there any way to have this file split across two DVD-Rs like when VHS movies sometimes needed two tapes for a single movie? I have iMovie HD and iDVD with some experience in both. I also am getting familiar with Final Cut Pro HD but it's a lot more complex than I would want to mess with right now. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!!

    I don't remember if Toast 6 has the option (like the current version) of compressing video to fit on a single DVD. If not, you have a choice of doing a workaround to compress onto a single DVD, or splitting the file. To assess the options, it would be helpful to know more about the existing grad video -- is it on a miniDV camcorder? recorded on a hard drive? do you know the video format? how much longer than 2hrs is the video?

  • Encode 4K dpx files with H264 codec or AVCHD to MP4 wrapper with Compressor?

    I have 4K dpx files that I want to encode with H264 codec or AVCHD to MP4 wrapper.  Can either Compressor 4 or 5 support this?  If so, what specific encoder settings are needed?  Currently, I receive Quicktime error -108

    Don't use mp4, use Qucktime h.264. I'm sure mp4 doesn't support 4k.

  • Need help quick! Please! How do I burn Picture Files onto a DVD?!

    When I put in a blank DVD, it doesn't show up in finder. So i thought i'd try using the Disk Utility. I select the DVD on the side bar and press the "burn" button. The picture files are grey and unelectable; i actually didn't see a selectable file. Please please help, I need this done in 30 minutes! Do i have to burn them onto CD's?

    Since I have no idea what Operating system your using I will give it for both Tiger and Leopard.

  • How to burn multiple files on a DVD-R

    I'm new to the disc-burning business. Throught the Apple support chat, they told me I could "multisession burn" by using Disk Utility instead of Finder. The webpage support sent me was for an older OS (not OS X 10.4). This didn't translate to the newer version. Any help? Thanks.

    Robert, Welcome to the discussion area!
    AFAIK, you can only muti-session burn to a CD not to a DVD.

  • Can't drag files from a DVD I burned

    I transfer files off of my hard drive to conserve space from time to time. After burning the files to a DVD I am now unable to drag the files off the disk and transfer them back to my hard drive. I can only read them from the disk. What am I doing wrong?

    Still need more information. What happens when you try to drag a file from your DVD to your Desktop? Does an error dialog pop up? If so what does it say? What happens if you use the cp command in Terminal ( +cp <path to file on DVD> ~/Desktop+ ). Does that succeed or fail? If it fails, what error message do you get?

  • How do I burn files to a DVD as image files

    I've downloaded some files that I need to update the firmware on my DVD player.
    The specific instructions say "Copy file named X.iso to a folder on your computer. Open your creation writing software, and set it to burn an image file. Make sure the ISO file X.iso is selected as the source file then copy/burn the file to the disc."
    How do I do this? When I simply try and burn the files to a DVD-R (the required media), I keep getting a verification error code 0x80020063 and the DVD player doesn't recognize the DVD properly.
    Any help - much appreciated...
