"Volume Full" Message when building DVD in CS3

Ok. I'm using Encore CS3. I'm authoring a Graduation DVD for a local college. The project includes 6 menus (Main, and 5 Submenus) and 1hour 45mins of Video. The video has all been transcoded and automatically compressed so that there is 19 MB free on a 4.7G disk.
The preview plays like a dream, with working menus, crystal clear video and great sound.
When I beggin building project either to ISO or DVD Folder it goes through "Ordering files for DVD" and everything but when it gets to "Validating Media" it stops dead with the poppup "Volume Full".
Thats it. I would try burning to a Disc but the DVD drive on my PC is screwed, so I'm doing it to ISO or Folders so I can transfer to another PC for burning.
Any help or ideas are appreciated

Does the harddisk you are writing the ISO file to have enough free space? (At least 10GB.)

Strange error message when building dvd

Hi
I have a dvd project, at about 80% progress of the build, I get the following error
Has anyone got any idea what this may be.
Many thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I do have a blu-ray burner, and i was creating a image, the error came up during the transcode. I have 12gb memory - what do you mean by tons ? is 12 enough.
I am working with avchd 1920x1080, that i have successfully used before.
I would then intend to burn the iso file afterwards, so the error is purely in encore, not relevant to burner as such
I did actually go the AME route, then import into encore and it worked fine, so it appears the transcoding in encore is the issue.
It would be helpful offcourse if the error message gave more info or what stage it was at at the time of the error.
Thanks again
Chris

Encore freezes when building dvd

Hi
I've got a problem. When I click "build dvd" in adobe encore, the program should pop up a window where I can click to build to dvd, to folder etc.
Well the window pops up, but then the whole program freezes, en the mouse turns into a sand glass. I've tried to reinstall, but that didn't work.
can somebody help me?

After spending the last 48 hours trying to get through the same type of issues I am ready to throw CS3 out the window. I have had about 6 different scenarios with problems and error messages. None of the messages are on the adobe website, in the manuals and can't even be found on Google. I will try to form a "Good Forum question" when my patience has returned and my blood pressure drop. But Mr. Smith - you try dealing with lock ups and reboots to just put together a one hour video with your new $2000 software package and keep calm and collected enough to gracefully ask a proper forum question! I feel their pain!

Encore CS5 freezes when building DVD

Hi!
Just spent lots of money on CS5 and got lots of problems. Cannot build DVD at all. Even 50 sec. HDV, DSLR or any kind. Encore becomes frozen after few min of transcoding.
dual xeon
Nvidia quadro 4800
12 gb ram
RAID 0 2 T plus multiple single drives.
Matrox mini, I have installed just the card but not the software since it is not working with CS5.
My previous versions of CS3 and CS4 worked fine. I would say that CS4 was much more stable.
Any comments?
Thank you in advance.

I may have had a breakthrough in that, after removing several media converter apps, I now seem to have dependable DVD production. I thrashed around and removed a few things before I checked again, but my suspicion is that ffmpeg might be the culprit, (but I don't have time to reinstall it to verify that notion now).
I'm happy if that fixes the problem, but still can't help but feel that it's a program flaw if its able to zone out so silently, without an error message, or even reporting that it's not responding, (but just perpetually idling). That was a frustrating and erie problem that I hope can a least be improved on to the point of crashing with some kind of diagnostic if not surmounting whatever the conflict is. So far, 4 DVDs without a hitch. Yea.

Error message when building

I keep getting this message when I use Burn to Disc - then hit build.
"The bit rate at 00:00:07:11 in timeline is too high for DVD. Lower the bit rate by reencoding or removing content from the timeline".
The video on the timeline is 2 min long and at the time code mentioned, it is simply a zoom out of a sign. I encoded the video using the automatic setting and I am using standard DVD-R.

The maximum bit rate the DVD-Video spec allows for video
i plus
audio is 9.8Mb/s. Normally Encore's automatic transcoding shouldn't exceed this, but there is a small chance of a fluke. You could try to let Encore do the transcoding again. Set the
i maximum
bit rate to 7Mb/s.
Another cause for the issue could be that you changed the audio
i after
Encore had transcoded the video. E.g. by changing the audio format from Dolby Digital (AC3) to PCM, or by adding extra audio tracks to the timeline.

How do I deal with this error message when burning DVD's: The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

I am getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD: The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media. iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Memorex DVD-R 12x Any ideas?

First, try a different batch of recordable DVDs. If you still have problems, you may want to make an appointment at the genius bar and have it checked. The drive may be failing.

Getting error message when burning DVD

I keep getting an error message when I try to burn my DVD in iDVD 08. I have imported the movie in quicktime format from iMovie HD and everything works fine until I go to burn the project. I renders everything else but when it get to the movie it has an error and cancels the burn.

Suggestion: Not a bad idea to test the disc image with apple's dvd player app prior to burning.
Click Here
I prefer to use Toast for burning an image to Dvd-R (verbatim at 4x or slower for best results).
Click Here
Not my personal favorite choice ... however it is possible to burn thru apple's disc utility like this:

Hope these help but if not just come on back.

Unable to create volume - error message when exporting

Hello - relatively new Mac and iphoto user here.
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over. What's going on? I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
I would move them to my external hard drive but I'm having trouble with it too. It won't even show up. When I run a disk utility on it it says it can't be verified. Sigh. So that's a whole other issue that will probably take something like Disk Warrior to clean up.
In the meantime, I'm trying to move images to the thumb drive then I'm putting the thumb drive in my other computer and moving the images from the thumb drive to it's external hard drive A long process when you can only move about 20 images at a time from iphoto.
I'm just trying to move a good bit of old photos out of iphoto on the Mace because I'm scared that the program or even my entire computer is going to crash and I'm going to have data loss.
What can I do about the "unable to create volume" message? And what's with the "file in use" error message when I try to move the images off a file folder on the desktop.
Is there a better way to move 1GB of photos all at once to the thumb drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems to be two issues complicating things here:
I'm trying to export photos from iphoto to a 2 GB thumb drive. I keep getting the error message "unable to create volume" when I try to move anything but very small batches of photos over.
What format is that wee drive? Mostly there are FAT16 or FAT 32 and there is a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root of the drive. The workaround is to export to a Folder on the desktop and copy that over.
Which brings us to:
I tried to create a folder on my desktop for the photos but then when I try to move from there I get an error message telling me the photo "is in use" and can't be moved to the thumb drive.
You will sometimes get this message when you try to export two files +with the same name+ to a Folder. As you know your camera is well capable of producing many files called something like DSC_1234.jpeg. In iPhoto these will be in separate folders, so no problem. However, when you go to export them to the Folder on the desktop if iPhoto continues the export one will overwrite the error.
Solution: Give the Pics a title (Photos -> Batch Change) and a sequential number. Then when you export, in the export dialogue you have the option to use the Title as filename.

Unable to obtain full screen when burning DVD

I have a trial version of Adobe Premiere Elements
8. When burning dvd and then playing on my tv through dvd player I am not getting a full screen. The wide screen video covers about 3/4 of the screen instead of the entire screen. The settings I am using are NTSC widescreen dolbyDVD, and Quality is checked with no changes in quality. The preview screen is set on a magnificatgion fit. The Video is centered on the preview screen. I have spent hours trying to resolve this problem? I have a trial version and not sure if want to purchase with this problem.
I tried to upload the 8.01 up grade and my computer just blinks on and off; will not load?

I have been having the same problems. See my discussion threads on aspect ratios in the past few days.
Let me share my thoughts on this. Apparently Elements 8 is optimized to work on 4:3 CRT TV's; HD flat screen TV's must not have made much penetration in India yet. So when you set the output for NTSC widescreen, what Elements does is compress the widescreen data into a 4:3 frame, squeezing the image horizontally. Counterintuitively, what you have to do is select NTSC normal. Then Elements does not further squeeze the widescreen data. What it then does is fit it into a 16:9 letterbox, still containing the left and right bars, within the 4:3 frame. Set the DVD to playback in widescreen mode, which expands the letterbox image to full width of the TV, though retaining the left and right bars, then zoom the TV image to full the screen, to eliminate all the bars top, bottom and sides. Worked for me, but I used a SD camcorder set to record in widescreen.
A better option might be to change the default pixel aspect ratio, which I am yet unable to effectuate.

All of a sudden only 4x and 8 x write speeds are available when building DVD

I have been using Encore successfully for several months to burn my indie film onto DVD for grant proposals . I found if I used a 1x write speed my DVDs played on most DVD players and computers.
As of yesterday all of a sudden and for no reason (I made no chances to my computer that day) the only write speeds available to choose from when building a DVD were 4x and 8X and when I burn a DVD at these speeds it does not play well enough to watch.
I rebooted my computer and even tried restored my computer to the states it was in a few days ago but nothing worked...in terms of getting back the broader choice of write speeds.
I called adobe Technical support and they said that I would need to pay for support to fix the problem...does any one know how I can fix this without having to pay adobe lots of money for tech support
Kathleen

a) The drive's lifecycle counter has kicked in. If so, it would prevent non-optimal software-controlled modes and only allow burning at its native speeds to extend life expectancy.
b) Some other tool that accessed the disc drive and reset its config data.
c) Windows itself has for some reason initiated a new hardware detection and reset driver config.
In any case, it would seem that you will have to re-initialize manually. Remove the drive from your device manager and have Windows scan for new hardware. Do so with admin privileges. Windows should automatically re-install the required drivers, but with default settings. Also check this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. even though Encore doesn't give any error, the case listed under 1) may apply - if the driver is not installed correctly, it would report incorrect burn speeds.

Error message when building an application for Labview PDA

When using LabView PDA module to build an application for a PDA target, I receive the following message: "Error building executable. Unable to create file". Why is this happening?
When looking at the error log, it reads "The system cannot find the file specified."
This happens even when looking at one of the Labview PDA example VI's, so it is not a result of the VI containing functions of features not supported by Labview PDA.
When installing Labview PDA, I installed files as follows, and in this order:
(i) Labview 7.1 (installed previously)
(ii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
(iii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP 3.0
(iv) Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
(v) Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8
(vi) NI Labview 7.1 PDA module for PocketPC
(vii) DAQmx Base 1.0 for PDA or later
Any ideas?

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,
-D

Inbox full message when not full, repair Inbox but all messages gone & empty Inbox keeps thinking

With an Inbox full message and couldn't download messages any more, I moved most messages to another folder under Archive but still get the same message. Reading from others' posts, I repaired Inbox but all messages there is gone and it keeps thinking forever. Tried compacting Inbox, it keeps thinking. Tried reboot and compacting (all) folders, it keeps thinking. Also deleted inbox.msf, which only one unused out of several email account's folder has, but no help. Sometimes when Inbox stops thinking, checking mail still gets Inbox full message. Wasted a whole morning already ... any idea please?

reboot your computer into safe mode with networking to stop your anti virus interfering and then compact your folders etc.

When building DVD menu error "was not found"

Hi,
whent I try to build DVD disc, folder or image I get error "was not found." What could it be? My project consist of one mpeg2 video file, one mpa audio file and two subtitles tracks. First Encore transcode audio, then give error and stop.
Thanks

Try replacing your mpa audio file with an uncompressed WAV or AIFF file - see if you still get the error.

Importing clips when building DVD is taking forever

I recently got encore 2.0 as burning my films onto DVD was becoming a serious pain. I have created a 30 minute film with a total size of around 7gB.. Once I finished my project I went to build the DVD, checked the project and set it going.. only to find that 4 hrs later it hadnt got past importing the first clip. The 'data to be written' is 1.60 gB which isn't really that much. The transcoding is slow but eventually finishes, the problem occurs when the program comes to import the clip and the progress bar just keeps on filling up then starting from about half way again. I thought at first it would just take a while, but after reading the other messages 4 hours seems a bit long for a 30 minute film....
Can anyone suggest a reason why its getting stuck on importing the clip?
My computer is relatively new and highish spec.. Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz, 1 Gig of RAM, 18x Sony DVD RW drive.

Thanks Jeff
Sorry I have not got back to you sooner, I've looked at the project and files and there isn't anything like a DivX codec, all the files were compatible with each as far as I remember, and the encore project only has the two clips and menu's created using encore. I'm not sure about the first question however its been a couple of years since I had that computer but I dont recall anything like that, I may be mistaken though, as I wasn't really aware of the specific components etc then.
I'm logged on as the administrator, its the only user account on my computer. Hope this helps in some way.

Power calibration failed message when burning dvd

I was trying to burn a dvd when I had error messages. One said "power calibration failed", the other one said "error in formatting the disc". I was using Corel DVD Movie Factory 7. I had just burned several dvds a few days ago and no problem. Any suggestions? I use windows 7 and have a Toshiba laptop.

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop.
If you used a different brand of DVDs, try reverting to the old ones. Similarly, if you changed which software you used, try using the old software again.
If your burning software allows you change the speed, try lowering it.
"Power calibration failed" can also occur if the DVD drive has died. Hopefully that's not the case, but it might not replacing.
