Not knowing what you have tried, I would first 'burn' to a folder. Then use a third party software, like Nero, to burn that to a DVD. In your case, it almost sounds as if there is a problem at 5% that is not letting it continue, but that's just a guess. Use the Preview in disc creation to watch the video and see if it plays through. __________________________________

When you preview it works all the way through...

I tried burning to a folder, but I got the same message.

Burning Unsuccessful

Possible Causes:

Transcoding engine's front end stream error might be due to:
1. Broken or missing source file
2. Out of system memory

Have you tried producing the video first in the production tab and then burning the already produced video? That is the approach I follow and have never had an issue.

Here's the steps I follow:
1. Edit your video.
2. Click the produce tab and make your video file. For a DVD I would select MPEG2 DVDHQ.
3. Once that file has been created close PD.
4. Restart PD and import the produced video into the media library and add it to the timeline.
5. Now click on the create disk tab and burn your disk. I would also burn to a folder.

If you have trouble in step 2, that may mean that one of your video files have become corrupted and may need to be deleted and redone. If this occurs click on the show preview of rendered video and watch where the video is when the problem occurs to identify the problematic video.

In your case if you are jumping from step 1 to 5 directly then you do not know where the problem may potentially be. There is no guarantee that this will fix your problem, but I hope it gets you started.

Your computer is more than powerful enough. There is no reason for memory issues. My old laptop has only 2 GB of RAM and has never given me a problem. I think it is related to one of the clips. Q9300 2.5 GHz

I did the steps you outlined and then tried to burn a new dvd and it worked.

I need her to add in the chapters and see if that was the issue.

I'll let you know if she still have issues after she adds in the menu with the chapters.

Also, why do you produce first? Just to see if there are any errors?

You just experienced yourself what can happen. It allows me to isolate each step in case there is a problem. It only takes a little extra time and now you have the confidence of knowing that you have a produced file to work with.

So she did what we had discussed and it worked. She said the chapters are more difficult to add since when you drop a produced version into a timeline you can't see the movie like she could previously.

Either way, thanks for the help. It's just very strange that the chapters caused the program to generate an error for her that's never come up when creating video's previously.

Hi evryone this is my 1st post.

I have been having problems with "not enough storage space" and looking in the forums for different solutions. This seems to be working.

But y question to Jason or somelse that can answer is how to insert chapters in the "create disk" or did you do this in the "edit" module.

Know this thread is a bit old but hoping for an answer.

Thanks!

I edit my video and place my chapters on my prefered time line. Then, I do a "produce" file.
After The produce file has been completed,: I add the produce file under a time line and delete the edited videos, transitions, titles. etc.
But I do not delete the chapters. I save the new project with a new name. This way the chapters fall exactly under the correct time line where I placed them in the first place. Then I can create a DVD following the wizard. It has worked for me, instead of going around in circles trying to find out what has caused the errors: eC0030106, eC00C0005,
