Premiere Element Freezes When Tried to Burn DVD

My computer meets and exceeds the requirements for Premiere Element 4. It also has about 50 GB of free disk space. I put together a file (about 30 minutes) consisting of stills and video clips, sound tracks, effects, and transition. When I tried to burn a DVD the first time, the program froze at the first instance of "burn" after completion of encoding and compiling. I removed Premiere Element and then reloaded it. I was able to burn a DVD. When I tried to burn again after making a minor change (to some text on still images), I then experienced the same problem even though with the same remove/reload routine.
From your website, I tried to sort out if the problem was due to my project or my computer system. I could create a DVD folder of a simple file but not a folder for my project. So it seemed that my project file was the problem. I then took the suggested approach, i.e. to make DVD folders of segments of my project and they all worked.
Finally, I was able to export my project to my hard disk as an AVI file and then load the file as a new project. Then burning a DVD was uneventful. The burned DVD showed that the file was about 1.6 GB in length.
Would appreciate your suggestions on how to identify the glitch that prevented me from burning a DVD in the straightforward manner. I might add that I had burned DVDs of projects of almost identical composition and length and had experienced no such problem.

From your description, it sounds like either the photos were larger than 1000x750 pixels in size and/or that you needed to clear your Media Cache (in Premiere Elements Edit/Preferences).

  • Error when trying to burn DVD

    Hi
    I get this error (repeatedly) when trying to burn DVD recently.
    Error code 0x80020022
    Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
    It's self explanatory I know, but what am I supposed to do about it? Is it a problem with my hardware?. I can't see the icon for my disc drive in Disc Utility to check it.
    I've shut down and restarted, tried different DVDs, they're all DVD-R although I did try at first with a DVD +RW and hope this hasn't caused some damage.
    Hope someone can help thanks.
    I'm having loads of problems creating iDVDs as well. But I think I need to resolve issues one at a time....
    Helen

    Hi Helen - here are some general purpose iDVD tips that may address some of your unspecified troubles. In terms of communication troubles, could your hard drive be going to sleep, or screensaver kick in and interrupt the process?
    General tips:
    Do something small first; get some experience before you need to do a big project.
    Lots of memory helps; and you'll need 10-15 gigs of space on the hard drive for scratch space.
    Buy good quality disks - I've seen recommendations for Maxell, Sony, TDK and a few others based on testing. I primarily use the first two and usually don't have trouble.
    Give yourself lots of time.
    Turn off your screen savers and energy savers; don't let your hard drive go to sleep.
    Get your computer healthy and ready for some heavy lifting. (video work could be the hardest job your computer can do) MacJanitor and Apple's DiskUtility's Repair Permissions is my routine.
    Most of the time iDVD is working, it is encoding (compressing) your video to fit on the DVD. Create an image .img file (patchburn for iDVD 4 and older) and use Toast or Disk Utility to burn it to disk. Burn slow (1 or 2x) and let it cool down.
    I keep my projects under 60 minutes (for highest resolution).
    Try testers; you can use DVD-RW
    I import into iDVD rather than export from iMovie (fewer errors).
    No other apps open.
    Let it encode and burn while you go to bed; it can take awhile, esp. on older Macs. Don't quit iDVD even when the DVD is burned, until you've played the DVD in a regular player (it's much easier to burn another disk and check to see if the problem was a bad disk, than to go back through all that encoding again by quitting iDVD).

  • What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

    I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
    "not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
    I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive.  How much free space do you have?

  • Transcoding error when trying to burn dvd

    Hi, I created a slide show in pse7 and sent it to pe7 to burn a dvd. I keep getting transcoding error. Could you please help?

    Debbie,
    Is this your first expereince using the workflow of Photoshop and Premiere Elements to make a slide show? If yes, I realize that Premiere Elements can be confusing at first (been there: been thru that) so I am trying to keep my instructions as straight forward as possible.
    I numbered my specific questions so you can respond by number :
    1-- for the
    b resolution of the images
    that Allen requested : if they came from a digital camera, it may be simplest to post how many megapixels in the photos that your camera takes ?
    2-- aproximately
    b how many photos
    are in this slide show ?
    3-- what is the
    b duration of the slide show
    as shown by the Photoshop Elements slide show editor? (the duration is found to the left of the controls for playing the Preview within the slide show editor)
    4-- from the PSE slide show editor Output command, did you choose
    b "Burn to Disc - DVD"
    or did you choose
    b "Send to Premiere Elements"?
    Do you know how to do the "render your slideshow" that Allen suggested?
    Across the bottom of the Premiere Elements window, you should see either a Timeline or a Sceneline.
    -- Within that area, Click on the word "Timeline" that is in the upper left of that specific panel/section of the screen. This will put you in the Timeline view.
    --Click (left click) on the clip that you see in the Timeline and then next hit the Enter key.
    -- As the clip is being rendered, you will see a popup showing progress and a line above the clip that was red will start turning green. If rendering completes successfully, that entire line will become green.

  • Premiere elements crashes when trying to access the edit tab features

    Hi.   I've just loaded premiere elements and started up a new project.  I was then browsing through the software to get an idea what it was about.  When I clicked on the orange edit tab this gives access to the effects,transitions,titles,themes and clip art screens but when I click on the transitions icon the programme crashes.  Everything else seems o.k.  I've also tried accessing the transitions through Window - Transitions but it crashes. I suspected that it might just be that the programme hadn't installed properly so I uninstalled and reinstalled it.  Still same problem.  I've a computer with core duo processor, 4Gb ram and 3Tb of hard disk with ample free space.  Anybody had similar problems?

    Thanks for the replies.  I have an nvidia card so will try some of the suggestions and see if I have any luck.
    Will let you know.
    Thanks again

  • Seq Header Duplication error when trying to burn dvd

    I am using DVD Studio Pro 4
    Mac OS 10.49
    I imported a 36 minute QT video edited in FCP to DVDSP. When I try to burn a DVD, I get an error message that reads, " Seq Header Duplincation. I cannot figure out the problem.
    Incidently, the 30 minute DVD seems to contain 7.4 GB on my hard drive, but DVDSP converts it to 3GB automatically. Does this sound customary?

    ocfilmmaker, I hear you. I am trying to run DVD Studio Pro on my new Mac Pro under Leopard and I am having nothing but problems. It always worked fine on my G5 iMac. First, it won't recognize my DVD burner (there have been several posts about that) and now I'm seeing the "Seq Header Duplication" error, with no further explanation. My video is already encoded. I don't know whether it is the Xeon, Leopard, or the latest build - but this thing is useless right now.

  • "Medium Write Error" when trying to burn DVD

    i have recently been receiving the message "medium write error" every time I try to burn a DVD in my mac book pro 13 inch  It doesn't matter which program I use to burn, they all give me the same (or similar) message. I also tried booting into Windows and burning from there using ImgBrn it and it was
    succeed
    the program went from "preparing disk" to writing to  "finishing", ejected the disk and made the usual error and it looks like it don't start writing as when i put the dvd back the dvd is still empty
    I used to burn these disks perfectly well with no problems, before i install lion i don't know if this is lion problem or what
    i also tried to attempt to reset the PRAM.  by holding down CMD+Option+P+R while booting MBP and waiting until it chimes a second time to let go of those keys.i haven't changed anything so don't understand why the error occurs. I've bought a lens cleaner disk and ran that for 2-3 minutes and repaired permissions on the HD but that didn't work either. The drive works flawlessly reading DVDs and CDs with no problem no problems.
    any one can help please ????

    Sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand this.
    It doesn't matter which program I use to burn, they all give me the same (or similar) message.
    The problem is that it's not relevant if the programmes use the same burn engine (eg, iTunes and Finder). You need to test apps which do not use Apple's burn engine, eg, cdrdao, cdrecord, Burn, LiquidCD, Disco, Roxio Toast, NTI DragonBurn, etc. But, FWIW, my bet is not on a software issue.

  • Error message when trying to burn DVD+R DL

    I am trying to burn a 6GB project onto a DVD+R DL for the first time. The burning process runs through 100% then I get a blank DVD and an error message that says... "Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed, please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." I'm not quite sure what this means. Any advice?

    Welcome to the Boards (Search seems to be gone, urgh, because I had a post I usually point to, bummer)
    1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
    2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
    3.) The marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
    4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
    5.) Build the DVD to the HD then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray. Sometimes finding the right place for the marker with hunting and pecking
    I will dig up some more info

    On general principles, you do need a good backup. If your hard drive was to die a sudden death, either everything you have would be permanently gone or it would cost lots of money to retrieve it.
    The best way to do a backup is onto an external firewire hard drive. You can decide if you want to get a desktop drive, which is generally cheaper for its size, or a portable.
    Here's one way to do it. Find an external drive which is at least as big as your internal drive. It's OK to have one bigger, because you could then partition it and use the extra partition to archive and store large files and free up space on your internal hard drive.
    Once you have the drive, you can use a utility like Super Duper to make an exact bootable copy of your internal hard drive on the external, which will either be the same size as your internal drive, or it will have a partition equal in size to your internal drive. You can download Super Duper and use it for free as long as you like. If you want to unlock some extra features like "Smart Update", you can pay to register it, which was $27 last time I checked.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Super Duper is very easy to use, is a good way to keep an up to date bootable copy of your internal hard drive. Being bootable is important, because it means that should your internal hard drive suddenly die, you can boot up from the external and not have any down time.
    Another cloning utility is Carbon Copy Cloner:
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    I believe that you can also download CCC for free and just make a donation if you like. It also makes a bootable clone, but I'm not as familiar with it.
    The good thing about the bootable clone is that it will be identical to your internal hard drive, so everything will be backed up and safe. And it won't destroy any data or settings.
    Back to your DVD question. I don't know if force quitting the Finder would solve your issue or not. But I did see on another thread where someone suggested creating a new user account and seeing if the DVD would work on the new account. I think the theory there might be that there might be a software related problem with your usual account that wouldn't exist on a new account, but I don't know for sure. I've heard of creating a new account for troubleshooting purposes, so it would certainly be something to try.
    Good luck!

  • Error Message when trying to Burn DVD?

    In the completion stage of the DVD burn of a slide show in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.-  "Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure".

    Since I posted last, I came across the following link over at the Encore Forum. There the user could not update the burner firmware and found that the disc brand made the difference between failure and success. Imation and Memorex discs worked, whereas Verbatim did not.
    So, I stand corrected on focusing in on the "RAM Failure" portion of your error message. But, I am looking forward to further details of your Break Apart Slideshow failure. I have come across at least one case where RAM issue impacted that even when you used the right Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option.

  • Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

    When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
    Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

    When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
    1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
    2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
    Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
    See if any of the above helps.

  • Itunes gives needs to close Windows message when trying to Burn DVD or Sync

    I have a 60G Video Ipod
    I right click on the my playlist and select Burn Playlist to Disc. It then asks if I want to do a data DVD, I click yes and then it starts checking Playlist. When the bar almost reaches the end the windows message pops up and Itunes closes.
    The same error box pops up when I connect my Ipod and it starts to update the Ipod.
    I can play music with Itunes without any issues until I either want to burn a dvd or connect the Ipod.
    I have reisntalled Itunes from the original CD after removing Itunes, Ipod updater and quicktime from Add/remove programs. I have upgraded a few times and the issue still persists. The issue initially started when in version 6.0.2 which was a known issue and the fix was to go to version 6.0.3.
    Is there other lcoations that have files, that add/remove doesn't remove? I cannot see how unistalling and reinstaling from the CD would not correct the issue.
    I have windows XP Media Edition and do not have dual core processors but do have hyperthreading.

    Hey there Nezzinton,
    It sounds like your iTunes application is quitting when you try to use it, or it quits when you try to sync your device to it. If the former, use this article:

  • Computer freezes when trying to burn cds with itunes

    I don't know if this would help other people with issues related to burning cds with itunes but here it goes:
    My computer running Windows XP SP2 and itunes 7.6.1.9 suddently stopped burning cds via itunes about a couple of versions ago. Burning would start correctly, however the operation never completed successfully, in fact, the computer would completly freeze before getting too far. The computer had to be hard booted, meaning I had to hold the power button to kill it. The only solution that I've come up with that effectively corrects this problem is as follows:
    Close itunes
    Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
    Look for IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service and open it (double-click it):
    If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
    Select Startup Type as Automatic
    Go to Recovery tab and set first, second and subsequent failures to Restart the Service
    Click Apply and then Ok to close window
    Look for iPod Service and open it:
    If not started, start it by clicking the Start button
    Select Startup Type as Automatic
    Click Apply and then Ok to close window
    Restart itunes, try burning a cd from a playlist in itunes. There is no guarantee that this will solve your issue, but it is worth a shot, it has worked for me so far.
