Why won't a TV series burn to DVD

Have bought a TV series called Black Books. Downloaded it then added to a playlist and burn to DVD. Does not seem to play. How to fix this please for someone with no understanding

I seen that happen when the system resources have not kept pace with the project or automatically generated files?
What is the computer operating system that you are running Premiere Elements 10 on? At this point, can you still burn to folder if not disc?
Have you checked the Adobe Folder for pile ups of preview files and conformed audio? Have you cleaned out the conformed video files via Edit Menu/Preferences/Media? Have you run a regular and registry cleaning (computer optimizing) program such as ccleaner?
Another aspect is the nature of the Timeline content? Have you expanded the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline to get a good look at the track situation, especially searching for thin vertical black lines scattered about the track content and any other irregularities with regard to Timeline menu marker spacing, transitions, and such? You could give some details on how many menu markers and what kind and where placed and how much space between?
How large is this project? When you get to the burn dialog what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate? What type of DVD are you using? Can I assume that your project preset is NTSC DV Standard and you are burning your Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc (4.7 GB/120 min)?
What is the duration of your Timeline content? How many main menu pages, how many scene selection pages?
Let us start here and see where your answers lead us.
Thanks.

Why won't my new Superdrive burn either CD's or DVD's to my new Macbook Pro Retina?

My Superdrive can only read CD's. It cannot burn either CD's or DVD's as the options are greyed out.
It asks me to erase them but then states they cannot be erased.
I have tried 3 different brands of CD's/DVD's with no success.
I have installed all updates. I am running Mountain Lion OSX.
Frustrated!

If you have enough power for the superdrive and the superdrive is OK, you can tell the MBP to handle the superdrive as an internal superdrive by changing a system file. OSX (Mountain) Lion.
You do that with the free Oxed binary editor (but you can also use the Textedit App).
Make a backup copy of the following file
/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback
Put it in a safe place.
Make another copy and edit that one as follows with "find/replace":
find/replace all "internal" (without the quotes) to "external".
Save.
Move the file to where you originally copied it, and thus replacing the original file with the changed one.
For all eventuality you still have the backup of the original file.
You may have to make this change again after an update of the OS.

Why won't my prject fit on one DVD

I am trying to put a wedding reception that is 3.38 GB onto a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 2. But when I put it in a menu and try to print it says that the disc can't hold 5 GB of info. Why is it so much? The disc claims to hold up to 6 hrs in ep mode. Why can't I do that? How can they fit King Kong on one DVD and I can't fit this wedding reception? Please help, the project is long overdue and I can't figure this out.
What's even weirder is that when I create a separate for buttons DVD Studio Pro tries to put the same file on the disc TWICE meaning that that huge 3.38 GB file is being burned twice. Why? It shouldn't have to do that. Please help, I'm desperate.

What is the total length of your video in minutes?
What is your average bit rate for encoding the video?
How long have you been working with DVD SP?
What "disc claims to hold up to 6 hrs in ep mode?"
There is no ep mode for DVD authoring.
King Kong is encoded on a DL disc, not a DVD 5.

Final Cut Pro 7 won't complete processing to burn to DVD in Share.

I'm trying to burn four sequences to 4 separate DVDs using Share. The first two worked fine. The third has reached 4 min. 39 sec. of processing time remaning 3 times and just quit or locked up and won't burn to the DVD. Is there something in the sequence I'm not aware of that is causing this?

Why won't my USB Superdrive take my dvd?

I have tried to put a disc into my USB Superdrive, but all it does is make a weird noise and spit it out. The disc contains files, and if I try it with a dvd it does not happen. It is not urgent. But I would like to know why it happens.
THANK YOU!!!

The your supredrive has failed. If it is still covered by a warranty take it to an Apple store to be diagnosed and replaced or if you have no warranty on it just buy any brand external DVD drive that connects by USB port. That is any brand. It does not have to have the Apple name on it for it to work on your Mac.

SOLVED: Why won't Satellite 4090XCDT not boot with DVD-R/W drive?

Hi,
as I stated in the other thread which has been closed already, I purchased an used Satellite notebook which would not boot from the 3rd Party DVD-RW drive (Quanta Storage SDW-042) included, even though Windows could it read well enough.
I found out why, starting with the help of the user replies in the other thread.
In the user manual there is a description in the capitel about system configuration regarding tconfig, which proved to be a valuable hint: HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) (...), CD-ROM = Secondary IDE (170H/IRQ15). Compared to my desktop, it seemed to me that both drives should be masters on Cable Nr. 1 and Cable Nr. 2, not like Master and Slave on the same HDD Cable. So, my CD-ROM probably had to be Master.
Then I researched further into the matter and found out, that there are CD-ROM where cable select choses if they are master or slave. Then I found in
http://www.dschen.de/laptop_brenner/ a remark that in his Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, there seemed to be no Cable Select and his notebook expected the CD-ROM (or the DVD drive he wished to use) to be a master.
Cable select means that Pin 47 is grounded, which he did by applying a drop of solder from Pin 47 to Pin 49, which is besides Pin 47. I tried the same and took apart the DVD drive which was in my Notebook. (My record in taking apart my notebook and mounting everything again correctly now has gone down to 50 minutes). And know what, my Satellite 4090XCDT now can boot from the DVD RW!
To perform the task I needed a watchmaker's screwdriver to open the DVD RW (three screws, and then you must insert a pin to open the tray and see the plug from the backside), a 12 Volt pin type soldering iron for SMD and I controlled the solder bridge with a stereo microscope, so this task is not trivial. See the mentioned link to find out which pins are bridged (sorry, the website is in german but the Pic is clear: in the upper row of pins, the only you can see, the 2nd and third from the right). And of course with a replacement part "from the scrap", you might grant your notebook a second life but you run a risk, because you can not know what you have, master or slave (by firmware or hardware), broken anyway, cable select - and another website states that they have watched up to 17 firmware variants in exactly the same drive, depending on what notebook it was intended for use.

Wow, thats really interesting posting, buddy!
Thank you! :)
I will save this thread in my Bookmarks.

Why won't my Macbook Pro recognize a DVD-R?

Hiya,
I have a recently-burned DVD-R in perfect condition (no scratches or anything) that my Macbook Pro refuses to recognize. I put the disk in, and just get an error message saying "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer".
Any thoughts?

Is it really burned? I've had some false burnings, where the media is left blank. Look at it with bright light at an angle: should be evident by a slight change of shine if burnt.
If yes, does it read in other equipment? The optical system may be dirty; pick up a DVD cleaner disk at the local music or computer store, the dry kind that has tiny bristles on the "business end" that clean the lens.
Have you tried resetting the PRAM? I sometime had to do that on my previous and now dead '08 MBP.

Why won't my MacBook Pro play my DVDs?

I've had my MacBook Pro since Dec 25, 2013. (It's the mid 2012 version) And I haven't tried using the DVD player until today. For some reason, I tried putting a DVD in the disk drive but it won't accept it. I tried pushing the DVD in, but I didn't want to get it stuck. What's the problem?

The drive is either faulty or there is a disc in it. Hold down the Eject button on the keyboard to eject the disc that is in there. If that fail try restartiing the system and hold down, click and hold, the trackpad. If that fails to eject a disc or there is no other disc in the drive them you need to take the system to an Apple store to be checked out and fixed under the warranty.

Why won't 110 min video not fit DVD when using Compressor Best 120 min

I have a standard DV video lasting 110 minutes. I have exported it as a DV clip and imported that clip as an asset in DVD Studio Pro 4. Build fails with a not enough room on the output media message. I have also exported from FCP using Compressor set to the Best 120 minute setting with the same result. Shouldn't 110 minutes fit on a standard DVD using either of these methods?
What's up? What can I do to get this material on a standard DVD?

If you are using a 4.7gb DVD and the video is 110min then use the 120min preset then click on the icon that shows you the "estimate size". In my opinion it is very accurate, but it doesn't include the audio in that calculation. So just bring down the Mbps (the top slider) down about .5 of a bit rate and then your audio should fit just fine and you can use the 120 min setting.
You do this, you click your "video" or MPEG icon in the "untitled" tab. Now look in the "Inspector" to the right. See the "estimated size"? Now click on the "encoder" icon (second to the left), Click "Quality" tab, and adjust the "Mbps" down about .5ish.

When burning pictures to a disc why won't they burn in order, they are being viewed randomly ?

What order?
Most likely it's the order on the Disk, not the Name, or other way shown.

On my Mac (vers 10.7.5) I use Disk Utilites to burn a DVD. The DVD won't play on the Mac but will play on my Windows PC and on a DVD player. A DVD created on my PC will play on the Mac. Any ideas why this is happening?

I used iDVD to create an IMG file
You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

Why won't my internal MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A mount a blank disc or burn one?

Why won't my Dual Processor 500 MHz PowerPC G4, with 2 GB SDRAM, running Mac OS X ver. 10.4.11, equipped with an internally mounted MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A Drive mount or burn a blank CD, DVD-R, or DVD-Ram disc?
The System Profiler reports as follows:
MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A:
Firmware Revision: A109
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)
Profile Path: None
Cache: 1024 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write:
DVD-Write: -RAM
Burn Underrun Protection CD: No
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: No
Write Strategies:
Media: No
What is wrong?
Can it be corrected?
If so, how can I correct it?

I had that machine (PowerMac G4, DP500, Gigabit Ethernet). Expensive and bleeding edge at the time, but the optical drive proved to be of very limited utility. The DVD-RAM will burn only Type 1 and Type 2 DVD-RAM discs. It should also mount and give read-access to Type 1 and Type 2 DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM (including DVD-Video), DVD-R that you've burned on another machine, and CD discs. Here's a long-ago archived info sheet on DVD-RAM technology: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3072.
When prices for optical drives came down, I replaced the DVD-RAM drive with a more conventional CD/DVD burner.

Why won't finder burn a 25GB BD disc?

I bought some blank BDs to archive some projects and clear some space but Finder won't burn them.
They are 6x / 25GB inkjet printable discs. As you can see from the Inspector, I'm only trying to burn 14.35GB so it should fit easily.
What's up with that?

Why won't my OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A burn to DVD-R?

Why won't my OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A burn to DVD-R?

Ahh...but it may. you could try the following-change the brand of blank DVD-R you use. Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden are good, maxell, maybe, Sony, and TDK not so much. Also, see if cleaning the drive's lens helps, as may repairing permissions. Could be that your drive is starting to fail. replacement may be an option, and not that expensive. Really, any ATAPI dvd burner will work as a replacement (in a pinch), just make sure to set the jumper the same way as the Optiarc (master, I think),. if using two, then cable select
HOpe this helps
