Why is CPU maxing out 100% when burning dvd?

I bought premiere elements 13 yesterday and got my dvd ready to go. I started burning it today and it's been over an hour and still processing, it may have taken 1.5 hours total. Trying to run photoshop at the same time was making photoshop very slow so I checked resources I saw premiere was using 99% of my cpu, even after closing photoshop. When the screenshot was taken it was at 93% encoding and dropped a little. I have an i3 3.4gz dual core and have never seen it go above 50%, and even that was just a spike. The system also has 8gb of ddr3 ram on windows 7 64bit.
The dvd burning appears to be done but the program won't respond, it's now fluctuating between 0-5% of my cpu but is still not responding. It doesn't have the actual not responding, program frozen error, and makes me wonder if it is done burning.

Thanks for the reply and considering the comments.
Please remain with the "Fit Content to Available Space" option with a check mark next to it.
The only time that I disable that option by removing that check mark is when I get a Data Rate error message which forces me to remove that check mark so that I can manually set the Bitrate to lower value to enable the burn process to proceed.
783 MB at 1.69 Mbps (megabits per second) is definitely the lowest quality bitrate set. The maximum bitrate in Premiere Elements burn to is 8.00 Mbps.
If you are using a standard DVD disc (4.7 GB/120 minutes), in reality that 4.7 GB is 4.38 GB for your disc capacity. The Premiere Elements burn to DVD uses a variable bitrate which means that your max 8.00 Mbps will vary across the DVD being produced.
If you are seeing a No Disc error in the mix, that is another matter...there is a known error in 13/13.1 which requires deletion or disabling of the OldFilm.AEX file. This has been written about here a lot.
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 13
Plug-ins
Common
NewBlue
and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming it from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXOLD.
So, please look at that, leave the check mark next to Fit Content To Available Space (if 8.00 Mbps is much less than 8.00, then consider a Double Layer Single Sided DVD (8.5 GB/240 minutes, in reality 7.95 GB).
We will be watching for your progress. Any clarification needed, please ask.
Thanks.

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?

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.

Updated to 3.1 and CPU maxed out causing click and pops

I upgraded to Mainstage 3.1 and now the CPU meter is maxed out when I change presets and also MainStage runs at 100 % causing clicks and breaks in the sound when using a vst plugin S-Gear by Scuffham. Earlier versions work fin at 20% to 50% CPU. I can't go back to version 3.0.4.
Help!

In preferences, try raising the I/O Buffer size in preferences. Then lower the driver latency setting. It seemed to help CPU load.

Cpu maxed out at all times..

I'm very concerned about my Gnome install. I updated for the first time in a while, and rebooted - just to see how things were. I started X (no issues), and Gnome loaded quickly. The problem is that my CPU is now maxed out for no reason, and it never drops between the 95% mark. Gnome system monitor is reporting 100% usage, but when I check my processes with it, I can't find the culprit. htop shows that X is using 94-100% CPU - something that I find hard to believe.
Here is htop output;

i would guess that since you're still using xorg-server 1.4, that it probably relates to this problem?

CPU maxing out with Google Image search, some other websites

When I try to use Google Image search or load SBNation website articles, Firefox's CPU usage maxes out and it becomes unresponsive for a good 10 seconds before it has loaded everything. This is a new problem that has popped up within the last few weeks.
I've tried disabling all addons and plugins, removing cookies, clearing cache, downgrading from the beta version to 23 and none seem to make any difference.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Macbook Air 2011 CPU Maxes Out then Overheats and Shuts Down...

I've been having this problem for a while now but have learned to deal with it with SMC Fan Control to basically keep my fans maxed out at all times. This is obviously not ideal.
The problem is that at any given time some small, random task in activity monitor shows CPU usage that is very high, often at least 50% CPU and other times as high as 120% It has happened with the tasks like dock, safari web content and virtually any other task you can imagine.
For example, I just tried emptying my recycling bin and it hung half way through then my computer shut down. What is going on here?
Details:
- Macbook Air mid-2011 running Mavericks
- Never have more than one app open at any given time, usually just Safari with about 5 tabs, max
- 3rd party applications running in background include Dropbox, Copy, Backblaze, Flux, Sophos anti virus, Jumpcut, Caffeine and that's it
If I'm doing something like a Time Machine backup, I have to disable Wifi, max out the fans and only then will the Macbook Air remain cool enough to complete the backup, otherwise the Time Machine process maxes out the CPU, overheats and shuts down. This happens with virtually everything now.
How can I start trouble shooting this problem? I've run the hardware and system repair checks with no results, done an SMC reset, etc.
This really seems like a software issue more than anything, like something related to the way tasks/processes are handled...any ideas anyone? This is such an annoying problem!

Do the problems also occur in "Safe Mode"?
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

PCSuite makes computer CPU max at 100%

I just installed the PC Suite software (Nokia_pc_suite_7_26_0) onto my Dell Latitude D510 using XP Pro. I'm connecting though Bluetooth. I was able to detect phone (6650) and make connection. After that, my PC hangs...CPU is at 100%. I have narrowed to the PCSuite software running. If I kill the that process the CPU is back to normal.
Help!

ness...for completeness this is PC Suite updated a few days ago, version 7.1.28 (.exe properties page)
running on Windows XP over standard Dell Toshiba bluetooth on a Latitude D810 (and I know that is a flakey piece of hardware/software in itself - bluetooth gives no end of problems).
This problem is definitely introduced by the latest version/update.
Apps run file when started manually (e.g. PCSync2, ImageStore, CommunicationCentre). Best Nokia devs go away and look at what was added and do some more testing over bluetooth...

Photo's out order when burned to disc

Hi, my photo's are in numbered order in the library but when burned to disc are all random,
they have been edited from 3 cards and saved as a smart colllection, how can I get them
to burn in order as library shows them !! thanks steve

You use the Export Dialog by clicking on <Export> bottom - left in the Library Module. See Screen shot:
This will open the Export Dialog. The second section from the top is <File Naming>. Click on the small triangle, see screen shot:
And select <Edit> from the list.
This will bring up the <File name Editor> where you can specify various parameters for renaming. i would suggest that you add sequential numbers in front of the file name to preserve the order of images. In the screen shot below I have selected a sequential number that will go from 1 to 10000 plus the existing file name.
Then click <Done> and <OK> and export your images to a location of your choice.
Since you are a newbie to Lr it would be good if you would watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. Lr is a complex program and without the tutorials you will make mistakes and get frustrated. The links for the video tutorials are on the main page of this forum, to the right where it says <getting Started with Lightroom 4>.
Go to this link http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-lightroom-4/ and at the bottom you will find specific tutorials for exporting.

Cpu maxing out!!!!

my processors are maxing out. i have portal 30983 and db 8174...everytime i make a page request the processor spikes through the roof. there are only 30 or so users hitting the portal so the workload shouldn't be that bad.
the processors are dual 550's on one box and my prod box is dual 800's
any help would be greatly appreciated

Read through the steps of "Troubleshooting Issues in Oracle9iAS Portal Architecture & Performance" at the above link on PortalCenter. There are a number of things in that document that check the validity of the cache configuration (etc) that should be followed to ensure that the basic configuration is working correctly.

G5 Tower - When Burning DVDs Finder Restarts

I have always been able to burn DVDs on this tower with no problems. Now I insert a blank DVD-R to burn and the disk icon shows up. I rename it, drag my files to it and then click 'burn disk'. The computer pauses for a second and then crashes the finder. Haven't made any upgrades to this machine so not sure why this is happening. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? I have set my CD/DVD prefs to 'Open in Finder" as suggested in another thread and it's still not working. The DVD drive is a Sony internal (came with system when new).

You can try upping your ram voltage to 2.65, 2.7 or 2.8, whichever is next.
What are your system and cpu temps just before the crash?
I don't think it is a factor, but generally the DVD writers make better masters than slaves.

Disk Utility: Different burn rates when burning DVDs

Hi Folks,
When I burn DVDs from a disk-image using Disk Utility it displays a message showing the maximum burn rate.
Using the same image, same machine and same batch of DVDs the message displayed varies from a 2x to 8x burn rate.
Any idea why ? Is it the burner, the utility, the DVD ... ???
Thanks in advance
Pat De Marco

Hi Pat,
Are you perhaps speaking of the variance over the breadth of a a single disc?
They burn slower on the inner tracks than the outer tracks due to higher surface speed on the outer tracks at the same RPM.
Burners are also made to adjust burning speed to match the capability of the Media... no two are identical, though higher end ones will be closer to each other.

Error message when burning dvd

I have a flat panel 17" iMac with a superdrive. I have recently tried to back-up data onto a dvd. When I hit the burn button I soon get an error message. When I eject the dvd and put it back in to play nothing happens and the dvd is ejected only when I open iTunes. On a third and forth attempt the dvd gets spit out without any burn attempt.
Strangely, the first dvd I put in that was not readable on my machine I put in a Windows machine, which appears to read the dvd and I see the folders that I tried to burn, but obviously cannot open the files because it is a Windows machine.
I have read the discussions and dvd issues seem to be rife. I thought I had applecare but it appears it hasn't been registered and this issue is being addressed with apple. So I have not managed as yet to get any apple support.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
Thanks
PS: The reason for the back-ups is that I am soon going to upgrade to Tiger. I see from discussions that issues about dvds are rife.

I didn't note the message I'm afraid. However I have just tried to burn a dvd again and got the message 'An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used.' I have tried the burn with two different dvds and I don't think the discs are the wrong ones. One was DVD-RW and the other was DVD-R. I recall that on another occasion there was an error number, which might have been 303, but I can't be sure of that figure.
Whilst on burning to disc, I want to make an image of a folder. I follow the instructions of navigating to the folder and click on it but the resulting image is only of the folder and not its contents. Am I doing something wrong here too?
Thanks.
