PGC error when burning in Encore CS3 ... help

I've looked and can not find any one else with exactly this problem. I recently upgraded to Adobe Creative Suite 3 and can not get a DVD to burn. The project checks fine, the files transcode without difficulty but during the burning process, I very quickly get a PGC "file name" error.
I have a Sony Pentium 4, 2 GHz, with 1.21 G of RAM, and plenty (30 G) free on my hard drive. I have a 16X Memorex DVD burner which is probably 6 months old, but up until now has worked great. I've tried several different brands of DVD-R media and same problem.
I'd describe myself as an advanced amateur at video making. I taught myself on Nova's Video Explosion and burned 100's of dvd's on the Sonic's My DVD program over the past 5 years. Actually that system worked well, but I'd outgrown it. I downloaded Encore 2.0 free 30 day trial and loved it. I'd import (uncompressed) avi files that I'd created in other programs (mostly Video Explosion, but also Movie Shaker, and Windows Movie Maker), create menus in PS CS2 and my DVD's burned quickly and without errors at all. When my 30 days expired, I found they no longer offered 2.0 and I decided to spend the big bucks at got Creative Suite 3 really solely for Encore.
I've now spent 3 days trying all kinds of different things, many different files from different sources and I always get the same error message of "PGC "file name" has an error at "time" internal software error %0, line "file name:, time 00:"time", ref= BPGC.
I did read some messages on here about uncompressed avi vs. compressed avi. I did find that I was using uncompressed avi, but when I used Adobe premiere and rendered as MPEG 2 ( I believe), I got the same error. The only success (?) I had was when I rendered a file as a .MOV. It did burn without the dreaded error message, but the quality was extremely poor and jumpy.
Any ideas? I've got a project due in a couple of days and at present I've got files that I can't get to DVD...

So, finally I've found the source of the problem and a workaround!
First the source:
when Encore has to transcode a video it must corrupt the file, because it's the transcoded file that causes the problem, I tried this by importing a transcoded file into Encore 1.5 there it came with the same error.
Now the workaround, ok maybe it isn't quite a workaround but it's a way to go:
What I did was: I built my project new in Encore 1.5, because Encore 2.0 has a problem importing the videos by me, but if you would just import the videos in 1.5 and let 1.5 transcode them so that all of them would fit on a DVD you should be able to import the transcoded files in CS3 and it should work, no guarantee.
Other possibility: try opening your project in encore 2.0 and re import your videos there and let 2.0 do all of the transcoding, that might work too!
But for certain: don't let encore CS3 do all the transcoding!
I'm working with PAL files I don't know if it will be the same by NTSC, but it's worth a try!
If anybody feels like reproducing the bug, here is the way to do it:
Make a project in Encore CS3 and import Videos encoded by premiere as MPG2-DVD (I think: .m2v .wav) and set the transcoding options to automatic, encore should have to transcode the files. Then let encore make the DVD, at some point you should get that nice PGC error!

"500 internal server error" when trying to use F4 help in the variable sele

Hi Experts,
I am getting "500 internal server error" when trying to use F4 help in the variable selection screen (in WAD).
How could this be resolved?
Quick reply would be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance !!

It seems you are using wrong client ID. Make sure your logon pad has right details. You should verify this with your basis team.
If the problem persists then try re-installing. But before you do that you can execute sapbexc.xla which is in the c:\program files\sap\bw. Type c:\ in cell c3 and click "start button". Any red flag means you have wrong version dll/ocx on your local drive, in that case you should reinstall with right patches.
if this solution helps u then pls assign points

Power calibration error when burning?

I get a power calibration error when burning from IDVD.
Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Basically a power calibration is the drive writes to the blank and then tries to read it back and adjusts the laser power accordingly to get a proper burn. So there are a number of reasons you might get this problem.
One is the media itself. A bad disc or poor quality media might give you this error.
Next, you may have a dirty laser and running on of those cleaning CDs (they have little brushes on them to dust off the laser) might do the trick.
Third, could be a laser on the drive is giving up the ghost. Hopefully it is not the last one.

Memory allocation error when burning in premiere elements 2

I have premiere elements 2. I happily burnt a version of my dvd then suddenly it stopped burning and I had the above message during the burning section of the process. My computer has adequate memory to run this programme and nothing new has been added. I then downloaded Premiere elements 7 as a trial and burnt this Dvd yesterday. However today it won't burn through 7 either so i am reluctant to upgrade unnecessarily. Can anyone shed light on why I receive this error message.
Other things seem to burn but I am beginning to receive messages that Adobe is low generally on memory allocation.

When does Adobe Encore CS3 support DTS-HD audio

When does Adobe Encore CS3 support DTS-HD audio?
Today I have tried to make a Blu-ray disc project with a 5.1 DTS-HD (192 kHz)audio track, but the DTS-HD audio track was much longer in the timeline than the videotrack! while the DTS-HD was encoded properly and was excactly the same length then the videotrack,
I think DTS-HD is still not supported by Adobe CS3....when will there be an update to solve this?

Okay - bug confirmed here.
DTS-HD MAS is not being correctly parsed by CS3.
I tried this using a 24-48 5.1 DTS-HD MAS file, and a file lasting around 20 minutes came in at over 4 hours in CS3.
Admittedly, I used the Blu Ray + HD DVD Primary profile.
So, I tried again using a 4.18 duration 5.1 mix at 24/48 resolution, using the pure Blu Ray profile.
When imported into Encore CS3, this came out at an apparent 1 hour 6 min file. Clearly, something is wrong here.
Further - it would appear that despite it being possible to import the stream, DTS-HD is simply not supported at all - you have to enable the "All Files" option to get the import dialogue to even see the file.
Yet again, we see Audio as the poor relation in a video suite.
Maarten
Best file a feature request for DTS-HD support.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Same form should also be used for the Bug Report.
If enough people ask for this, it may get implemented - and as Adobe are concentrating on Flash & Blu Ray these days, you may even get lucky.

HELP! OOstatus error=- 47, ERROR WHEN BURNING

I am getting an error that states "osstatus error = -47" when I try to burn a disc, does anyone know the workaround for this??
I am using 2ghz intel core 2 duo macbook
thanks in advance!

dicktatorsmith
We first need to determine what program is involved and the details of what you are doing?
You cannot burn your content to DVD disc (assumed DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc) with just Photoshop Elements and its associated Elements Organizer? So, if you are getting this error in your burn to disc, I am suspecting that you are not working with Photoshop Elements.
So, what program and version of it are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
The error that you present at burn has been seen before with no one description of what it means (that I have ever seen). Sometimes defragmentation of the computer hard drive and/or using another brand/type DVD disc resolves the issue. If you are in Premiere Elements burn dialog, does hitting the Rescan button a few times have any impact on the situation?

Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Error when burning DVD - no plugin DLLS

When burning a DVD I get an error message that says Plugin Coder error : no plugin DLLS. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

They do but aren't cheap.
Look at SuperMediaStore.
You might be able to find them cheaper. I was just checking to see if they make them.

Hardware Error when burning DVD's

I keep getting an error message when burning DVD's using Toast Titanium on my iMac..it reads:
"Drive Reported an error, Sense key = hardware error, sense code = 0 x 03."
Twice after getting that message I couldn't continue to burn and it stopped, once it did continue to burn and finished successfully. Any ideas, anyone?
17" iMac G5 w/ iSight Mac OS X (10.4.3) upgraded to 1GB RAM

I get the same message today when burning from Toast 7.02 on my iMac. It happened when I was trying to make an audio CD from my iTunes collection (not when Copying from CD to CD). The exact message I got in the middle of my burn was:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = hardware Error
Sense Code = 0x03, 0x01
I tryed again with another CD and got the same thing. I never had a problem with these CD's (TDK CD-R up to 48x).
I wonder if there has to be some sort of software upgrade fro Roxio Toast or is this a superdrive malfunction/etc. My Superdrive gets very loud during this burn as well. I may take it in to Apple Genius Bar. Any ideas?

Hardware Error When Burning a CD or DVD

I think it may be a media problem as well...on numerous occasions when I insert a blank CD the drive will spin a few times the eject the CD....
I'm guessing I can find the firmware update via the Apple Support section..?

I would upgrade your Toast software to the latest because the version you are currently running is not coded to run on an Intel Mac or even 10.4 for that matter. Toast 6.1 was the first version compatible with 10.4 and Toast 7.1 was the first Intel compatible version.

Thx...I was not aware I needed Toast 7.1....my current version has worked in the past so I thought I was OK....

Error when pasintg into DW CS3

Why do I keep getting this error when I paste text into DW
CS3.
"An error occurred while processing the input"
It doesn't matter what the source was, word document,
browser, notepad, etc. But it only does it in DESIGN view.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Houston.

This also happened to me.
I went to "Commands" then " Manage Extensions".
I unchecked a few of the most recent installed extensions
then closed Dreamweaver. When I started Dreamweaver again, the
problem had been solved. I then rechecked the extensions that I had
unchecked to see which one was causing the problem. The problem was
still solved even with the extensions marked with a check.
I don't know what caused the problem. It appears that opening
up the Extension manager and un checking a few extensions,
restarting Dreamweaver, then re checking a few of the extensions
did the trick.
I can now copy and paste without it changing it to plain
text.

Error when trying to compile HTML help

I'm using RoboHelp 7.0 on Windows XP. All of the sudden, last
week, I start getting the following error when I try to compile
"Fatal Error: Unexpected error from Microsoft HTML compiler." I've
read the other posts regarding this error and deleted the .CPD file
multiple times and tried to compile again still with no success.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and not had any
better results. The other author in my office can check the project
out of RoboSource and compile it fine. I have it on my local drive
when trying to compile.
I'd appreciate any ideas. It doesn't make sense that is
something in the project since my other author can compile it fine.
Thanks,
Nita

Hi, Nita,
Do you have any other RoboHelp projects that you can try
compiling? This may help to determine whether there's something
slightly askew about this particular project — sounds
unlikely if your colleague can compile without error — or
whether the problem lies in your RoboHelp installation.
I'd also recommend that you run MJ's Help Diagnostics,
available from the address below. This will verify that all the
HTML Help viewer and compiler components are properly installed and
registered on your machine.

Can any oen tell me why i am getting this error? using flash cs4 in ac3.

you're trying to reference something that doesn't exist when your code executes. if line 11, is:

then
mainMenu_mc.logo_btn
doesn't exist.

Error when burning disc

When burning cds on iTunes, the playlist is checked and then it starts and sounds like it is burning, but then cancels after several minutes and spits the cd back out. Says that the function can not be completed. Unknown error number 4000 or 4002. ???

Hi Michelle,
You are posting in the ITunes for Apple/Mac. Try the iTunes Window group. I am sure you will get a better answer there.
Or buy a Mac and come on back. Just kidding.
