Carl, Thank you for your response. I have already tried that. I uninstalled PD 8 then went to Restore Manager and re-installed PD7 and upgraded back to PD 8. I'm still having the same problem and error messages...

Hi,
Try the following:
In Create Disc opt to "burn/create to a folder" (or something like that. It is a while since I had PD7 installed).

If you can do the above then use a disc writing software to transfer the TS folders onto a disc.

Next check the data has been written and if the disc plays, if not, then look to a fault with your drive.

Dafydd,
I tried to write the video to my harddrive (using the methods you described), I get a message indicating, "burning sucessful", however, when I go to the folder "TS Video" (or something like that) and the file is empty (0 bytes).

Mark

Hi Mark,
Please carry out Part H in the guide:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/7958.page

carry out both parts of the test.

This will help you localise the cause.

Howdy again,

I created a new project and inserted the sample video 3x. Then, burned to HD and burned to DVD. Both worked fine. Then, I pulled up the project I've been working on (3800 mb of 4700 mb disc space) and tried to create to HD. PD indicates "burned sucessful", however the My Video folder was had a file with zero (0) bytes. No video. Then, I went to EDIT and removed some of the project (down to 1505mb of 4700mb). Burned fine to HD but wouldn't burn to DVD. I removed more of the project (down to 1500 of 4700 mb) and tried to burn to the DVD- Still gave error message- "Burning Unsucessfull (1) THe DVD Video Folder doesn't conform to DVD Video Spec's Requirement." I again removed more the project- down to 500 mb of 4700 mb- Same error message. So, I opened a new project (again) copied three of the sample videos to the new project and burned to the same DVD and it worked fine. So, why the heck can I burn a sample video to a DVD but not my project???

Hello Dafydd,

Just for kicks, I opened one of my old projects (4405 mb of 4700) and it burned fine to the HD. No problems. THen, I tried to burn to a DVD (which I previously did- several times about a year ago). Didn't work-- I get the same error message: "Burning Unsucessfull (1) THe DVD Video Folder doesn't conform to DVD Video Spec's Requirement."

So, I don't think my projects have "something" in them that PD doesn't like as I burned this same project multiple times last year...

Let me know if you have any more ideas. Your help is greatly appreciated!! [I attempted to get tech support with CyperLink but so far they have sent 3 responses-- mostly having me verify the drivers were updated and requested my dxdiag file. Haven't heard from them since!!]

Dafydd,

OK-- using the same "old project" (4405 of 4700mb). I removed the end to the project and tried to burn to DVD-- I did this several times, continuing to remove pictures and videos from my project, until I only had several pictures left (i.e. about 150mb of 4700mb). Each time, I would get the same error message- "Burning Unsucessfull (1) THe DVD Video Folder doesn't conform to DVD Video Spec's Requirement."

I then rebooted, opened the same 4405mb of 4700mb project, removed most of it in "EDIT"-- down to 505mb of 4700mb. Using the same blank DVD, it burned fine. So, it appears after I get the "Burning Unsucessful" error message, it doesn't matter what I try to burn from the same project (even removing most of the pictures/videos), I will get this error message. But, when I close the PD, reboot, and BEFORE getting the "burn unsucessful" error message, I can remove a bunch of my project and it will burn sucessfully. I thought perhaps this would give you a clue to what may be causing my problem???

Thanks for taking the time to review!!

Hi Mark,
The sample files are mpeg1 files in PD7 and shouldn't have any issues.

Please clean up your computer and dump all the temp folders and such. Run a defrag program on your HDD's. On the forum's I have seen DVD write issues occurring where old data prevents a write to disc.

HDD processing space is also a cause of a problem - where insufficient HDD is available for processing temp files.

I'm really guessing here.

Dafydd

Dafydd,

After I realized I could re-boot my computer and everything seemed to work "fine" (if I burn project before any error messages occurred), I re-booted and attempted to burn my project to the HDD folder. The first time, I got to 96% and the it wouldn't complete the processing. However, when I looked in "My Video" file, I had video files this time! So, I re-booted again, and on the second attempt, my project burned correctly! I then used Power2Go to burn the folders to a DVD. Everything worked fine and I now have the video on DVDs and it looks great!!

Although I found this "work-around" to get my video to DVD, it still bothers me I can't burn directly to a DVD. I will try what you suggested (clean temp files and defrag HDD). I have Nortons 360 and it is on a weekly schedule to clean folders and defrag (amoung other things). So, I don't know if this will help. There is another program called "CCleaner" that I downloaded a while back. I will try that too. I will report back if that solves the problem. If not, I will continue the SLOW process of working with CyperLink Tech Support and let you know if I ever resolve the problem.

Thanks a million for helping me!!
