After many attempts and several coasters, I was able to burn a DVD disc of a 20 minute video using PD 10. I produced a good quality disc when I changed the recording speed from 24.0 to 8.0 and disabled programs such as skype. This may have been coinsidental but prior to the change, the video was choppy and hesitant.

Incidently, I preventred future coasters by creating a folder witthout burning a disc and then making sure the Video-TS.IFO file played glitch free and then burning the disc using IMGBurn.

RDay,

Good to hear you had some success.

Many prefer to burn to folder first to prevent/reduce the number of DVD coasters.

I learned the hard way to use the folder option. Many times I would burn the physical disc only to find that I had forgotten to do some aspect of the editing. Or I changed my mind on what I was trying to create.

Many also have problems with the burning engine in PD. I am not one, I do all my burning directly within PD after testing the folder to determine if I am satisfied with the end result.

I also burn at the slowest speed available for the burner that I am using. I have three burners installed. 2 - DVD and 1 BD

Don't you think using this type of software needs a minimum requirements in your system for you to run it and be able to burn disc smoothly and perfectly?

Hi Klauszer,
Yes you do and it is posted on the Cyberlink home page under specs...some of the people posting here are trying to run the Ultra version with not near enough of the specs specified and then come here to ask why this or that don't work, when there system isn't powerful enough for Hi def video editing.

Hi Klauzser

In addition to Jim's comments, here is the link (note these are the very minimum):

Also, PD allows a potential user to "test" the product first by downloading a trial version:

Happy editing

Happing editing

I too own several coasters now because of the quality of my DVD. When I select 8.0 instead of 48 which seems to be the default, then the disk looks pretty good. But now, when I look for the 8.0 it gives me 5.0 and no other choice!!!! Its very frustrating. What needs to be selected so that I can choose 8.0. Why does it only give me 5.0. I think thats why I'm getting the poor quality.

Thanks

What burn speed choices are available depends on the burner and the disk in the burner.

I just replaced a Burner because it failed to burn disks.

Thanks Carl but that doesn't make sense that it's the disk. I have burned 30 disks and about 5 of them are poor quality. When I select 8.0 from 48.0 it seems to work fine but now when i go to select the 8.0, the only option is 5.0. Very weird. Not sure how to fix that. My computer is quite new and so are the disks. Thanks again for your response. K

Unless you are using Verbatim or JVC Taiyo Yuden and sometimes Sony, you are just gambling on what you will get.

You burner decides the best speed at which a project should be burned; you can slow it down but not speed it up (or do so at your own peril). .
