Burn problems are sometimes caused by something in the timeline that PD does not like, but often just lowering your burn speed (it goes to maximum by default) under the tools menu on the last screen where you actually start the burn, will resolve the problem. Make sure that you are using good quality DVDs or BDs. You should get a few DVD or BD- RWs so that you are not creating coasters until you isolate the problem.

If the problem is a transition (likeliest cause), then you have to isolate that transition and remove or modify it. Since the error relates to "closing the disk", I don't think that this is the cause. Lowering burn speed might resolve that issue.

I have experienced both issues I cited above. I still use PD12 to burn my media, but many folks here select to "Burn to Folder" and then use other software to burn the folder to a DVD or BD. Power2Go will do that and there are free burning software apps as well (Imgburn and others).

Let us know how you make out. Hope this helps. Have a great day.

Thanks garioch7. These are broke down US football plays. Very simple, no transition 10 min to 45 min videos. I've used Verbatim DVD for a couple years now without issues. The RW is a great idea.

I've made these videos for 3 years now with few glitches. PD9 and PD10 were easiest. Thought I had it fixed a week ago when I updated my Nvidia drivers and all worked great.

I tried ImgBurn and it works fine meaning the burn portion of PD12 has it's own issue. Hope they figure this out. Much quicker to burn inside of PD.

Thanks again.

Just have much quicker is it if you are burning disk coasters?

It you burn a Disk folder the first time, it would be available to use disk burning software. (ImgBurn or other).

The good thing about Disk Folders only, if the burn is unsuccessful, you have not thrown away another disk.
You can just correct the problem and try again.

Carl, it's a lot quicker if PD operates properly, which it does once you figure out its quirks. I use Verbatim disks which work well, I burn at 4x vice max, and these particular dvds are quite simple.

PD made a great set of video files that ImgBurn had no problem making disks from. I made three 15 min Standard DVDs and one 45 minute AVCHD using this method.

It's just much better using PD by itself start to finish, IMO.

Any ideas what items cause PD to state "Closing disc not complete"?

Thanks!

That is an error I do not remember seeing.

Cyberlink must have added that error message to the Create Disk Module.
I would only be guessing what it means.
