Is there a reason why i cannot burn my 47 minute movie to Blu-ray in anything other than 1280X720p? My panasonic HD camcorder is set at 1920X1080, so I assume that is what i would want to burn it at. I got it to burn under the setting H.264 1280X720. Should I try the HD1920X1080(24MBPS) setting? I realize my project is rather large and memory is probably the issue, but I don't know why it works under the H.264 HD1280X720 setting and not the other.

Well, let's start with why can you not get it to burn? Is the option not available in Create Disc? Does it try, but not complete the task? What source file are you using and how big is it? You say it's large, but how long is the finished video? What are your computer's specs? How much memory do you have installed? __________________________________

It makes it to 21% when I try to burn and then I believe its running out of memory. The file is 45 minutes long, of which only about 10 minutes is HD footage (the rest being pics or video from my picture taking camera) and its all set to music (7 different songs). I have 3GB of Ram and have an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.40ghz. I have 120GB free on the hard drive.

Are you burning to folder or to disc?

If you haven't tried burning to folder do so and see if you still have the problem. You do have to activate the burn to folder option as outlined here:

You system should have enough RAM and HDD space.

If this is successful you can use IMGBurn (freeware) which is a reliable burning module.

When I try to produce the movie in mpeg-4 it completes to 97% and stops.

Are you using menus for the disc? Did you produce the video first, and then go to create disc? If not, you might try producing it in small chunks. Then combine it and try the full movie again. If SVRT is available that may solve the memory issue, if that is the problem. __________________________________
