PE7 crashes on DVD Burn

Hi Guys
I bought PE7 recently and I'm trying to create a DVD from my digital camcorder (SANYO C5) files (mp4). PE7 crashes every time when I select burn to DVD. Also whenever I load my project it says I am low on resources and should proceed with caution. I have continued successfully to add/delete clips and change the menu, etc. - no problem. I can't identify what resources are low, but it doesn't seem to affect me until I create the DVD.
I found Robert Buhre's post on 12/22/08 - he reported similar problems.
My system is:
PE7.0
OS: WinXP+SP3
RAM: 2gb
Disk space: 60gb
Video Card: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR
System: P4 2.4mhz
My project comprises 31 mp4 files, 1h24m44s run time, cross fade transitions, DVD main menu + 7 scene menus, fade in to start, fade out to end. I am burning to a folder.
It takes about 6 hours to burn and has always crashed near the end, no error message. I tried several suggestions from the forum, such as upgrading video driver, pre rendering, minimal startup, stop antivirus, check for gaps, menu marker discrepancies, etc.
I created a smaller test project by cutting down the main project to about 6 mins - which does work. I assume this means the source files can be processed and the menu system, fonts etc. are OK.
This last time before PE7 crashed using the original project, PE7 had created movie.m2v and movie.ac3 files in the Adobe/Premiere Elements/7.0/Encoded Files folder. So I copied my project, deleted the original source files and added those two files and burnt again. This took about 3.5 hours (making 9hours total) and did finish successfully. So I now have a working DVD ready to burn to disc, but this surely can't be a satisfactory work routine.
I'm not sure if this is the same as creating a dv avi file and reimporting that. I could try that next.
My questions/comments are:
1. Why does the program crash? It should not under any circumstances, it should trap the error and give me some meaningful explanation.
2. What can I do to diagnose the problem? There should be a log or debug mode or something to determine what went wrong.
3. Can I assume the problem is not my source files, because the test project worked in one case and PE7 created the two movie files from all the clips in the other case?
I have used other video editing/dvd software and never had to contend with these issues. I would agree with Robert: PE7 is buggy and not fully quality control tested.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Mike.

Thanks for reading my post. Can you please clarify your comments?
1. Are you suggesting the message on low resources points to the cause of the crash? If so, I would say the message preceeded the crash by about 6 hours! I was able to continue editing, adding clips etc. without problem, ie it did not continue to report resource issues. It hardly gives an adequate answer and I still say a product from a reputable company like Adobe should not just terminate without explanation. Incidentally today I opened the same project without this error appearing. Very odd.
2. You use the word "only" when referring to ram and disk. 2gb is my installed ram, recommended min is 512mb. From task manager, after loading the program I have 1301328kb available, which drops to 1039240kb after opening the project. 2gb is also the max I can put in my system. Min required hard disk is 4.5gb. Other posts suggest 20-50gb free space, isn't 60gb enough? This isn't an HD project.
3. Yes shortening the project avoids a crash during burn. I'm not sure what point you would like make? I could try adding clips and burning until I find the point where PE7 breaks. However, as each attempt takes several hours, it could take a week or so to find the answer. I had hoped this forum might provide a quicker answer.
4. I selected burn to folder DVD 4.7 GB/120 min. I accepted the default "fit to disk". My project at 1 1/2 hrs is within the 2 hour single side limit.
"Based on that information, I sounds to me like your first order of business should be to check low resources, namely not enough available RAM and not enough free hard drive space. "
- OK so how much ram and how much disk? See my response to 2. above. Given my system, what project size can it handle?
"Have you optimized your computer system lately?" - can you be explicit? Is there a post with details? Won't this just improve performance?
Thanks, Mike.
PS I think my frustration and from reading this forum, others too, is that there is no easy way to find out what part of the program failed and why. Therefore, my attempts to find a solution are just trial and error and it takes so long to see whether a solution is successful or not.

My PrE 11 App Crashes during DVD Burn at ~72% thru Encoding Media - image renderer dll

This error occurs consistently with a project I just started. Project was initially created under PrE 2 then Copied via Archive and continued under Pre 11. I'm a new user and I need some of your expert help to resolve this. Windows 7 event viewer signature is as follows: Hope you can help me with this I've spent 2 days working this so far.
oops - don't know how to insert text (.doc) file here. Will add in later post. Thanks for your interest.

Reporting progress this AM:
Windows updates are installed and current in both HP (Win 7 64) and Dell (XP 32). It appears anti-virus does not have any involvement in either case. Last set of trials had Norton on and active and had predictable outcomes (more later). Based on this mornings test cases it could be that Win 7 PrE 11 64 bit DVD Burn process (Sysinternals has PrE burn.exe running at 32 bits) is more sensitve to bad scene clips than the Win XP PrE 11 32 bit DVD Burn process.
Test cases performed today...Methodology -- since my detailed examination of the Project timeline did not turn up any answers I proceeded with a set of Tests to remove major scenes from the offending project stating from the END and working forward performing a project save and PrE restart after each scene removal.
Test case A - removed last scene, reduced timeline total from 01:00:18:00 h to 00:58:00:16. The resulting autoplay DVD burn on HP Appcrashed at 74% thru 'Encoding Media'. Last result prior to this was Appcrash at 71%. I then tested this Project case A against the Dell autoplay DVD burn which was good as expected.
Test case B - also removed the next to last scene, reduced timeline total to 00:54:07:28. The resulting autoplay DVD burn on HP Appcrashed at 80% thru 'Encoding Media'. Spotting a trend, I calculated the offending timeline event to be approximately 00:42:45:27 to 00:43:20:15. Going to this point in the Project timeline I once more looked for any artifacts or gaps. Finding none I also removed the continuous sub-scene starting at 00:42:45:26 ending at 00:43:45:08.
Test Case C - Removing the sub-scene along with last 2 scenes reduced the Project total timeline to 00:53:13:18. The resulting autoplay DVD Burn on HP Appcrashed this time at 82% thru "Encoding Media'. So...examining the total timeline scene at around 00:43:00:00 I find 13 more sub-scenes that are derived from a set of old 8mm film conversions to .avi files. The sub-scenes are moderately adjusted for lightness and color and are a little out of sequence from the original .avi files. So lets remove them all.
Test Case D1 - Removing the last 2 scenes and the 4th scene from last, reduced the Project total timeline to 00:50:42:00. The resulting autoplay DVD Burn on HP was successful! I then prepared a Travel-Menu-based DVD Burn on the HP with 3 scene markers and it also was successful. So I believe the Project may be OK under HP Win 7 64 PrE 11 by removing or perhaps re-editing the 4th from last Scene. To test this conclusion I will add the last 2 scenes back into the Project and try a Menu-Based Burn on both the HP and Dell platforms. I believe it will work .. will report back.
This conclusion does not explain the root cause(s) for the ProblemSignature 'Image Renderer dll Appcrash' but may establish a workaround for this project. For the 4 Test cases iterated here I used the referenced Process Explorer Sysinternals to look into potential process conflicts. After Test Case B the Sysinternals was used to examine the 'Adobe Premiere DVD burn.exe' thread (TID 4948, CPU 0.05). Message reads " Dbghelp.dll Configured does not support the Microsoft Symbol Server. Please download & install the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows to get a version that works." This action is way beyond my experience level. I will await overwatch input and continue with workaround analysis.
Apologies for tedious details...but, making progress. Thanks for listening & guidance. rdub

Dvd burn stops idvd crashes

Have been having problem when burning dvd, burns so far than quits & notice idvd crash
do not understand what the message means is happening with every dvd burn attempt
Also need to know how to send idvd project to trash / delete when done with it

I had the same problem until I realized I was editing in HD after years of editing Standard DVD video. My hard drive was formated for 32bit and can only record up to 4 GB per file. I had to take one of my hard drives and reformat it to the journal setting so there are no blocks which leaves the entire hard drive of a 2TB unit to record those unbeleavable HD movies. The mov I was trying to take to IDVD was 26GB and it recoreded all the way this time. I DVD will automatically dreduce it to fit on a standard DVD.
Whats rediculous is that every one records in HD now because they can but give little thought as to how its going to be edited. Standard DVD looks great when played on a blue ray and no professionals dont want to pay the extra fee to edit and take it to blue ray as many people dont have Blue ray yet.
Other problems can also stop your recording like a bad still photo file or one that is still in a raw state and not formated.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto 5 crashes at start of DVD burn

iPhoto 5 crashes at start of DVD burn.
Share>Burn disk works with CD and DVD for a smart folder of 300 pics= 330 MB.
However, reproducibly, when I try to burn a smart folder of 3649 pics, 3.3 Gb "used" 1.1.GB "available", iPhoto crashes when the "preparing to burn" progress bar is completed

This happened to me again, after it was "fixed". Apple support gave me the "fix" - "temporary workaround" is a better description. They also suggested ugrading to IPhoto 6 - "now uses the same burn routine as the Finder".
Rebuild the iPhoto library- make a copy first. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947
The second time, I also checked the option "Rebuild the iPhoto library database" - do not know if that was necessary, bit I can burn 4.1 Gb - for now.

Creating a new library from a DVD Burn library

I have my entire library of photos on my iMac in iPhoto 6.0.6. I recently spent quite a bit of time cleaning up what had been a rather messy, unorganized, photo library. My organizational method consisted of consolidating old film rolls which were inherited from original imports that were in different folders by moving groups of photos into single "film rolls" for older years and making fewer rolls for the last few years. I then went back through and corrected photo dates for a bunch of images that were scanned in, etc. I downloaded Keyword Manager, which I like a lot, and applied keywords to every photo in my collection. I also deleted a bunch of old photos which were too similar to better shots or simply not worth keeping. Once I finished all of this I had my new library consisting of 1892 pictures, which I hoped to backup and allow to serve as a "gold master copy" of all of my photos to date. In browsing the database in Finder, I noted that there were a lot of images in the "Original" folders that were not in the library. Some of these were images I had deleted in the library. (I know better than to do anything through the finder other than browse. I know that to maintain integrity of the library it is necessary to only perform actions through iPhoto.) I did a database rebuild and asked iPhoto to recover orphaned files which did nothing. I really wanted this database to be in pristine condition since I was using it as my master copy, but could not figure out how to do away with old unwanted images in the "originals" folders. I went ahead and created a DVD library with "Share -> Burn", and voila, the new iPhoto Library that was created on the DVD appeared to be "clean" with only the 1892 pictures in my viewable library existing in the Originals folder. OK, so far so good. I then took the DVD I had burned and attempted to replicate my library on my iBook which had a clean install of iLife '06 on it. When I launched iPhoto with the DVD in place it showed me an empty hard drive library and the burned library from the DVD. At first I attempted to just copy individual Film Rolls from the DVD to the local library. While this worked in bring the images over, the keywords became all jumbled. The resulting photos would have keywords attached which did not belong to them and were different from what was on the DVD. I then deleted the iBook library and tried copying the entire iPhoto Library folder from the DVD to the iBook via the Finder. When I relaunched iPhoto, presto all the photos were in my local library with keywords, film rolls and other metadata intact. However in browsing the library I came across a few photos which would cause iPhoto to crash when I tried to edit them. This was a consistent behavior on specific images. Reading through the forums I came across the color profile bug and through testing verified that this was not the problem. Meanwhile back on the iMac I could edit the photos in question with no problem. I verified that the image had not been corrupted during the DVD burn as well. The files are identical between the iMac and the iBook. I know this is a long drawn out post, but if anybody has read this far, here are my questions ...
1) What is the best way to go about creating a "clean" database with internal integrity after a doing a lot of edits and metadata changes? Shouldn't the burn to DVD do what I want?
2) How come when I copied subsets of my library over to a new machine from the DVD, the keywords seemed to get all jumbled? Is it a matter of indexing them? If I added all the keywords to an empty library before copying the images over, would it work? Is there not a way to just copy portions of a DVD library into another library?
3) Any ideas on the crash while attempting to edit problem? The image will load as a thumbnail, and then briefly flas the full size image, before iPhoto crashes and pops up a dialog asking if I want to restart it.
Thanks for staying with me!

Problems solved with iPhoto Manager's rebuild function! Thanks to Brian Webster of Fat Cat Software. Great program!

Problems ripping with an external DVD Burner

Hello Everyone,
Recently I purchased a Liteon External DVD Burner off of newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106011) -- It's a Liteon SHW-1635SX -- I bought this because the DVD-ROM drive thats in my tower natively is REALLY slow and I wanted to get a new one that I could use with a laptop that I`m going to purchase in the future. Whenever I try to rip a CD into iTunes using the burner, It says that it's ripping the disk, however it doesn't spin up the cd and it takes about 2 seconds to "rip" all the songs. I know this drive is soposed to be faster than my old one, But two seconds is a little TOO fast. Plus, I know that it's not copying the songs because when I try to listen to them in my library, the song won't play. (Under time it says "789:54..." for all the songs on the cd, in my library) However, the burner rips perfectly in Windows Media Player... Is this perhaps some kind of glitch with iTunes??? Basicly, the only way I can rip a CD into iTunes is to use my old DVDROM drive, but that defeats the purpose... below is the CD Diagnostic log that I got from iTunes::::::::

hi Aric!
hmmm. we'd better check on the usual suspects with that. (the incredibly long song times can also be associated with these sorts of causes.)

DVD burn fails on symlink

I'm trying to burn a DVD backup of a directory that contains some symbolic links to other directories, and the burn fails every time. If I drag the directory to the blank DVD, then try to remove the symbolic links from the burn folder, they actually get removed from the "real" folder! Does anyone know a way around this? At the very least, I need some way to gracefully get around having a symbolic link -- some way that doesn't involve creating a coaster, which so far is all I've been able to do.
EDIT: So, it looks like it wasn't the symlinks at all, but something more generally related to backing up the ~/Library folder, per this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b7e70f. I have to say. I tried fixing permissions, but no luck, I just made my sixth coaster of the night trying to backup my own files. This is frankly ridiculous: Not only does the folder inexplicably avoid being burned, but it crashes the entire burn process, not at the point of preparation, but mid-burn.
Second, burning for me is slow, just 2X. I've seen a couple of recent threads on this issue, but they're with Rev B iMacs as I understand. I'm using a Rev. A, with the Pioneer DVR-KO4F. Is there any way to improve the speed?
Thanks very much-
-Alan

Hi
It sounds as if it may be lack of free disk space, or lack of contiguous free disk space. How much do you have left on your main drive? Perhaps deleting some unwanted files would help.
If your drive is highly fragmented the DVD image may be scattered all over the disk, causing a buffer underrun, especially if you're running the burning software off the same drive. You can buy software to defragment it, although OS X defragments small files on the fly so it's not normally needed. Perhaps burning at a slower speed would give the drive time to keep the buffer full. Freeing up some disk space should also help though, so there's more contiguous free space available

Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

Hi Pavan,
I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
<li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
<li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
<li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
Regards,
Shanmu.

"Have you able to make PC Burner works on a Mac?"
As BDAqua pointed out, many users have successfully replaced the original DVD drives with a third-party brand (Pioneer being the most-favored for a long time). Most (if not all) of the optical drives discussed for use in the older Macs have an ATAPI interface. I really think that your SATA burner connected with a SATA-to-IDE adapter is causing your problems. If possible, I'd recommend removing the TSST burner and installing a different brand (Pioneer, LG, LiteOn, etc.) ATAPI DVD±RW drive in your G4. Hopefully, this will eliminate the compatibility issues that you're experiencing.

Backup & Copy substitute .. DVD burner is out of order

Pesky Marty back with kindergaten questions. I do most of my backup through my DVD burner and it is back-talking to me in a very noisy way.
Till I can get to CompUSA, can somene help me use another backup method?
I have 2 ext harddrives but forgot how to get the material there. My Scanner puts the scans in "the file" or in "Photoshop" or "Paint" etc but I don't see them there or anywhere else like "My Scans" .. Uh Which way did they go ?? I have a very important piece due tomorrow so Please, some of your PSE help ...
MartyL

Colin, Yes, PSE3 and Organizer. I go through that LONG backing up in Organizer and then it doesn't do a backup. I have some important, non replaceable pictures and don't want to press my luck. One crash 'did me in' enough. I thought I could just say SAVE and put as the destinatin, an external hard drive. I have lots of internal hard drive MartyL

PE7 crashes with ad2mpgvdec.dll error

The previous thread on this topic doesn't seem to match my problem. I am wondering if anyone has any other ideas or if its time to contact support.
PE7 (downloaded) on Vista32 (UAC disabled)
Program installed error-free, starts ok.
I start a new project, import .VOB files from any dvd (homemade) - I have tried multiple dvd's so I don't think its the disks. Though they were all created by the same recorder.
The .VOB files can be double-clicked on in the organizer window and will play, however when I drag one down to the timeline PE7 crashes with the error:
Faulting application Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, version 7.0.0.0, time stamp 0x48e15f40, faulting module ad2mpgvdec.dll, version 7.5.0.34854, time stamp 0x48c8ca77, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0008e337, process id 0xe14, application start time 0x01ca01b291a1ee81.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I checked the file, it is only in the "c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere elements 7.0" folder and is version 7.7.0.34854 (9/30/2008)
Based on the other thread, I'm guessing it is some kind of codec configuration problem but i don't know how to resolve it. Any help would be appreciated.
Mark

VOB's are basically Mpeg and this compressed format has a tendency to not play nice with PE.
This is more often the case with VOB's after the first, unless there are Subtitles. The first VOB can contain a bit more, and this is often where the problems come in. The most often encountered "Object" contained is the Menuing for the DVD. The reason that all Menu Assets cannot exceed the 1GB limit for the entire DVD-Video is because the Menus cannot span more than one VOB and VOB's are limited to ~ 1GB. If the Menus are created by an authoring program that produces DVD-Videos that are 100% DVD-spec. compliant, then programs like PE and PrPro CS4.1 can usually strip out the Menus and work with the remaining MPEG-2 file in that VOB. Now, remember that the Menuing structure can occupy the entire first VOB, so there might not be any MPEG-2 in there, from the movie. Because a VOB is a Video Object file, it can contain a lot more than just an MPEG-2, and often does.
I strongly agree that MPEG-2 is tough to edit. First, all frames are not included in them. The NLE must create all the frames, so one can edit. The editor can do this conversion outside of the NLE, as you instruct. I find this to be the best way, so that my NLE is only working with DV-AVI Type II files, for SD material.
One common problem, when working with MPEG-2 files is that they often exhibit OOS (Out Of Sync) issues.A good conversion program will likely, though not always, solve those issues.
If one is working on outputting a DVD from any kind of recorder, the first thing that I would suggest is to make sure that there are no Menus, if at all possible. Most recorders will still write a null Menu to the disc, and this will likely mean that the first VOB will not work properly in the NLE. Try to get a disc without any form of Menu, and you might get lucky. This will depend on the exact way that these devices create that first VOB.
Good luck,
Hunt

External CD/DVD burner sends OSX into 100% CPU use, cddafs.util file

Hi,
I have a LaCie external CD/DVD burner (301484U) which I use a replacement for the SuperDrive that died in my Powerbook 15" DL, connecting by Firewire. Lately, instead of mounting CDs, it causes the cddafs.util file to take up whatever is left of my CPU sending it into 100% use. Ejecting using F12 and using the button on the drive to eject no longer work. I have to turn the drive off and turn it back on again to eject the disc.
I will ask LaCie too but wanted to see what anyone might say here as well. The drive is relatively new, bought in September. Sometimes CDs mount, sometimes they don't.
I'd be happy to supply more info but am not sure what is needed at this point.
One weird thing happened that might be related. Yesterday I was recording a record to be made into a CD using Final Vinyl and in the middle of the recording it gave me a blue screen with two sets of vertical black lines, freezing the machine. I rebooted and all was fine. I ran Disk Utility and other than a few permissions needing to be fixed, all was well. Nothing interesting in the trash upon restart.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
John L

It works in the other account so it should be a file in my normal account right? (I misinterpreted what you meant by "doing it".) If it didn't work in the other account then it would be a hardware problem, possibly the power supply, right?
I'll move the CD Info.cidb file to the Desktop as you suggest. I hope that file isn't too corrupt. Over the years I've lost what CDs I've played from problems with that file. (I have actually kept track of most every CD since my first Mac, with the exception of what I've lost from crashes. I use a program or two to read it. A good one is iCDC for example.)

Compressor crashing - urgent dvd needed

I am trying to encode a QT movie to MPEG 2 but Compressor keeps crashing as soon as I try to format. I have also tried this within DVD SP and the same thing happened - it crashed. My version of Compressor is 2.0.1 - the latest I can get because I purchased DVD SP while it was still a stand-alone package and the upgrade path has ended unless I buy FCP Studio.
Is this a version thing? I have a G5 running OS 10.5.6 and Mac Book Pro running the same. This problem is happening on both.
I need to do a decent DVD burn of an standard def. QT asap. Toast is not giving me good enough results.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Can you provide some specific details about this particular quicktime file?
If memory serves me correctly, your problems are most likely stemming from an old application (Compressor 2.0) running on a modern operating system (OS 10.5.6) which runs newer frameworks that it wasn't originally designed to work with.
Without upgrading to the latest FCS version, you may be stuck with Toast for the time being, especially if you're up against a deadline.

insufficient memory and insufficient hard disk whatsoever.haha

MacBook white 1,82Ghz shipping with Combo Drive (only CD burner), 60Gb HDD and 512Mb memory.
And yes, you can run windows on that machine without any problems, but it will be much better to upgrade memory to 1 or 2 gigs for much better performance.

P43-Neo Strange behaviour with LG IDE/PATA DVD Burner attached

Hello, I have spent several hours installing an OS on my new MSI P43 Neo-F v1.0 Bios v1.9:
- 1x 1000 GB SATA HDD Seagate
- 1x DVD Burner LG IDE/PATA HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-H42N Firmware RL01
- 4GB OCZ Gold
- MSI RX2600 Graphic Card
- Bequit! Power Supply 350 Watt
Trying to boot from the DVD Drive works, but either XP not Vista could make it to the setup screen.
- Vista stops after some seconds with an unexpected I/O error.
- XP Setup just crashes and dumps register values.
Boot from USB memory stick (DVD still attached but no DVD in) lets you enter the setup and select the HDD as intall target. But, if you click "next" it gives you a message that Vista could not verify if a suitable system disk is installed.
I could only solve the problem by completely disconnecting the GSA-H42N DVD Burner from the IDE/PATA connector.
I could install Vista now from USB.
After Vista was installed I reconnected the GSA-H42N DVD Burner to the IDE/PATA connector and could install software etc.
Anyone being able to comment on this very strange behaviour ?
In conjunction with other boards I did not encounter issues like this with that LG DVD Burner.
It has shown that with the MSI P43 Neo F the LG GSA-H42N is unable to boot any CD/DVD. Linux for example stops booting with image crc check error.
I have now swapped the LG GSA-H42N with an GSA-H10N from my other machine and it can boot any CD/DVD from it - everything runs fine.
The LG GSA-H42N now runs with my other machine (with an Asrock P43 DE motherboard) also without any problems it can boot any CD/DVD from it
Thank you,
CPU

Please post your Full System Specs with PSU specs amps.
