UPDATE: It appears that I have been able to find a solution to the dvd burn issue as described in my previous post.

Control Panel > Action Center > Windows Program Compatibility Troubleshooter
select PDR9.exe; select the option that indicated the program previously worked fine with Vista SP2 (I am running Win 7).

Hopefully this can be something others can try if they experience the same issue.

I have the problem, and I am on Vista SP2.

Hey Eugene88240, I tried this and now CL is running terribly slow. Has it switched to 32bit? How do you then reverse this action?

I was having this error and other e series errors. Experts on these forums recommended that I put all my source files on my C drive or a SATA internal hard drive and that I have a large amount of free space on my C drive before burning. This worked ... all of my e series errors went away. I now keep about 300GB free space on my C drive, and move the source files for the project I am producing from a 3 TB external hard drive onto my C drive until that project is complete. When creating a disc, it is wise to check the "Create a folder" box. Then you won't have to produce your project again if you need another copy later. Just point Power2go to that folder to burn another disc. Also, if you get an error during the burn, you have that folder to use to burn with Power2go or other burning software.

One more thought. Eugene, my problem was also "Until recently I had no problems burning disks". I now attribute the introduction of e series errors to the fact that, over time, my C drive had less and less free space, and finally did not have enough free space for Powerdirector to burn a disc.

Just to throw my 2 cents in here.

This error is the only real problem I've been having with PD9. I run on an I7 with 8 gigs and lots of available disc space. I've completed a few projects and have created HD discs with and w/o menus, w/o problems.

The problem is when I create DVDs with menus....then I get this error. I always write the files to disc first to check them, and use other software to burn a disc. I would get this error at the end of the Final Output phase. All files would be created except the menu VOB which would be 0.

I originally found that PD9 ran better if I turned off all GPU processing in the Tools Panel. When it came to creating discs, I disabled the Hardware Encoder on the Final Output Panel.

I played around with DVDs with menus with very short projects and accidentally found that if I enabled the Hardware Encoder on the Final Output Panel then the Create Disc (in my case files on the hard drive) phase would complete...no ec003.... error.

i have the same error code

If you can burn a folder only, Uncheck Burn Disk. You can use disk burning software to create the Disk.

You may try lowering the burning speed for the disk.

In Create Disk module click on Burn. On the Final Output Window beside the Disk drive is as set of tools icon (Configure), Click on the tools, You can set the recording speed in next window.

Burning a folder only is more reliable.
There is plenty of disk burning software, some is free.

When I got this error message (after 21% by the way), it turned out that all my source files were on an external disk (large capacity). I see no reason to put numerous and large files anywhere else (especially not on my system partition). Anyway, I had saved my project file (PDS) to the default location without really thinking about it.

So I copied the PDS file over to the same (external) disk as the other source files and opened that PDS from the File/Open menu. The problem was solved in a stroke.

I use menus by the way; so I don't think this error is necessarily related to the use or not of menus.

The error message includes "Broken or missing source file" as one of the possible causes. This put me on the "right" track. I think the "Out of system memory" can be set aside as most users who get this burn error have no problems related to insufficient system resources.

Tambien he tenido el mismo problema y por el momento elimine la foto del menu y me dejo grabar.

With regards to eC0030011, I tried enabling the hardware encoder as otown suggested, but that option is grayed out for me (Create Disc - Preferences - both h/w accel and h/w decode boxes checked or unchecked, doesn't matter). Using Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional, both 64-bit, on two computers. Choosing "No Menu" on the Create Disk tab works around the error. Is there a proven fix?
