Target device isnt suiable for use!!!

Hi, help needed before I go mad!
I have an Acer M5640 computer, have 181GB of free space on my C: drive and have an NVIDIA G-Force 8600GS Driver. I hae just brought Photoshop Elements and Premiere 8 and have created a dvd I am trying to export. It gets though to 96% complete and then comes up with the message - target device isn't suitable for use. I have tried explring all the help pages and contacted support which was not overly helpful. My disc drive is atapi and I have so far used TDK and Kodak DVD-R and DVD RW to try
So far I have done the following from vrious bits I have seen on support pages -
1. Updated all my drivers
2. Turned threaded optimization off
3. Turned off GPU playback
4. Defrragmented my hard drive
5. Uninstall and reinstall Elements and Premiere.
6. Tried wth nothing else running
7. Checked my start up programs don't conflict
8. Checked device manager for any conflicts - nothing.
9. Increased my page file size!
10. Gone through a support page document supplied - CPSID_51553
I have tried downloading to my documents as I have seen that suggested. It does download but I get no audio - is that right.. I just get the slideshow?
I have eventually using anoher program been able to burn a dvd of my slideshow but obviously with no menus etc which ruins it really especially having paid good money for the product!
Please help a desperate man....

Hi, I think I need to run you through what I have done as I am a little confused now, sorry.
I saved my original project as an avi file which on its own is 3.33GB and plays ok but without any menu?
I then in my original project, deleted the video section and inserted the avi file which I think was what I needed to do and then re-saved the whole project giving a new Premiere Elements Project which is 5.68MB in size.
This slideshow plays with menu in the preview and all works well. I then 'shared' it to my Pc as an m-peg file and it creates a 706MB m-peg video clip. When I go to play that it plays the slideshow but with no audio and no menu? So I am struggling and don't undersstand when you say burn the video-TS folder im afraid?
When I burn this slideshow to a dvd thats when it does the go to 96% and then hit the 'target device is not suitable'
My default dvd player is windows media player which I have checked for updates and is up to date. It is that which launches when I put in a dvd?
Sorry to be a pain.

Device Error-target device not suitable for use at 96% DVD Burn, Anybody?

Hi There:
W7,i5 1.5TB New! I've MPEG & AVI converted the 10 hour edited timeline and seen the same error. I like the menus & trying to complete burn. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ben!

You're not really working with a 10-hour timeline, are you? You can only fit about 60-70 minutes of video on a standard DVD -- maybe twice that on a dual layer disc.
In any event, the best way to find out what's going wrong and when is to use the troubleshooting steps in the FAQs to the right of the forum.

If you'll post the results for each step in as much detail as possible, we can help you figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it.
BTW, you're not combining MPEGs and AVIs in the same project, are you?
You definitely want to convert those MPEGs first to AVIs so that only DV-AVIs are going into a project and that project. It will certainly save you a lot of heartache (as well as having to deal with strange interlacing issues) later.

DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

Hello everyone,
I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.

OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
system meets minimum requirements
Project size does not exceed disk capacity
successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
8. Using new blank media for burning
9. Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
10. Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
11. Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
12. Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
13. DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
14. Updated DVD firmware
15. Already updated nVidia drivers
16. Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
17. MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
18. Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
19. Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
20. Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
So still working through some of the items above.
Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
What a process.
Stay tuned.
Justin.

Device Error-The Target Device Isn't Suitable For Use

I read this in another forum after I experience this problem. Hope it helps some of you. I encountered the problem when I was exporting my finished movie. I had added a few effects like transitions and menu makers as well as stop markers to my timeline. When I went to Share, Create Disc and was exporting to a folder on my drive so I can preview the movie before I actually burn it to a Disc. During encoding well after 50% it stopped and said "DEVICE ERROR-THE TARGET DEVICE ISN'T SUITABLE FOR USE". I tried a few things that were normal when trying to export.
1. Restarting.
2. Created a new folder.
3. A different drive.
4. A DVD-RW.
Nothing was working, so I turned to Adobe forums and others like it. I found that Stop Markers can cause problems as well as some menu markers. It advised to delete the markers and try exporting again. Sure enough it worked, it exported with no problem. But I didn't like that after watching to video and reaching the end it would go to the next chapter without going back to the menu like most DVD videos do after playing. So I restarted Premiere and added all my Stop Markers to the timeline and began to export the movie and it worked just fine. I'm guessing that it just needed to be deleted and added again later after doing a restart so the computer has a fresh cache. Restarting computer works well after 1 hour of editing.

Erwin - thank you for the tip. I have had the same problem and tried several builds as you have taking aroound 2.5
hours per build. Removing the Stop marker has enabled me to write to a directory, Still have an error with regard to the menu not automatically shoiwng. However, as I write, burning direct to a DVD to remove any copying problems..
Again, many thanks for your help.

Device error -the target device isn't suitable for use. Solution found!?

Hello everyone,
I have received the following error many times on my machine for different projects when trying to burn to disk and folders:
Device error -the target device isn't suitable for use.
I have multiple hard drives with ~60GB, 40GB and 12GB. I have tried to burn 4.7GB discs and folders and 8.5GB folders.
I have previously tried nearly ALL 20 troubleshooting items recommended by Adobe and have even changed to Verbatim media. None of these solved the problem.
What did solve the problem, EVERY SINGLE TIME, was freeing up hard drive space or reducing the length of the project.
You may look at the available hard drive space and THINK that you have enough. But you don't.
Perhaps the remainder of this thread could be used to discuss the disk space requirements for projects. I can't seem to crack the formula. I just keep deleting/archiving files until the project works. I have ordered some new big HDD's to be rid of this error forever.
Justin.

While it is certainly possible that diskspace is one factor in getting the dreaded "target device isn't suitable message" (usually after lenghthy processing), it does not appear to be the only one.
I got the message trying to burn a 3 minute video to a dvd on two seperate computers one running xp pro with 150Gb of spare disk space and one running W7 HP with 50Gb of spare space. Tryng to burn to a folder gave the same error.
To me, this pointed to something in the app, or the project, so firstly I deleted the disk menu...burn completed ok. Re-instated a menu (different one)....burn failed. Removed one scene marker and the stop marker......burn completed ok. Re-instated stop marker......burn failed
Am I missing something on the purpose of the stop marker?
There was nothing obviously wrong with the project, although I will admit that I am new to PRE but am not a complete novice to video editing.
The encoding process of the menu's (both passes) went ok, and it wasn't until it got to the "encoding media" phase that the error message appeared.
It would certainly seem that more illuminating error reporting would be beneficial in this case, but it would also seem to be worth trying changes to the menus or markers to see if that fixes the error message.

Have you Gotten: "target device isn't suitable for use" ? A SOLUTION

I got this warning about 20 times for one 50 min. video. Asked for a solution from Adobe and got none.
The file was 3.06 G. I decided to lower the burning quality from 3.06 to 2.9 not wanting to loose too much quality. The file burned fine.
Had tried changing drives (3), disk Mfgs (4), and types DVD+&-R. Was able to burn a Blue-ray disk at the top quality setting but not the DVDs. The solution above works.

Hi windows phone app can not debugging,
>>that application could not be lanched for debugging. ensure that the target device screen is unblock and that the application in installed.
Based on the error information, it seems that you are trying to deploy the application on the Windows Phone Device. Then what Windows Phone OS are you using? Can you run
the application by using the Windows Phone Emulator?
For deploying the application on the Windows Phone Device, first please try to make sure you have registered your phone for Windows Phone development. For more information, please refer to:

HT204053 What's the best way to set up a family of devices in order to use one apple id for purchases on itunes and the app store?

we are trying to face time between devices, but it won't work whn multiple devices are tied to one apple id.
How do you designate one id to pay for purchases and one so that we can facetime from device to device?

The ID used for purchasing is in Settings>Store. This ID does not need to be the same one used for other services such as FaceTime, iMessage, etc. (in fact you're far better off if you use separate Apple IDs for these other services). To change the ID used for iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a separate (and unique) ID. You can similarly change the ID used for FaceTime in Settings>FaceTime. To sycn data with iCloud such as calendars, contacts, etc., without merging your data across devices, set up different iCloud account with different Apple IDs for each device. You can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off syncing for your data, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the device. Then scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID for each device and turn data syncing back on in Settings>iCloud.
