I've read some posts on here that while PD7 burns your DVDs, it really isn't set up to be a really good burner. You may need another burning software to accomplish this...PD7 will use whatever is your designated burning software. I've been using Nero 6 without any problems. If you are a registered PD7 user, you can also try out cyberlink's burning software via download.

The other thing, and I hope it isn't what is causing your status errors, is the PD7 software, which may not be compatible with your brand of DVD burner. I couldn't burn DVDs with PD7 either until I switched from the Samsung burners I had to HP DVD burners.

If you or someone has the expertise to swap one of your burners out for another brand to see if this fixes your problem, you might want to try this out. But before you do this, see if you can update the firmware of your DVD burners. You can usually download these at the manufacturer's site. After updating your firmware, try again. If this doesn't work, try the swap technique.

Hello,

I also seem to have many problems when it comes to burning to DVD. One that comes up quite a lot is error a00000a. I suspect that there is more than just one problem causing the crashes - it seems the menu needs to be set just right and crashing seems more common with bigger files.

How can I use a different burning software as you refer to?

In PD7 after Editing, then Producing then going to Create Disk, I select Burn. How can I change the burning software???

Or perhaps should I be doing 'Create a DVD Folder' and then burn the file from that folder??? In which case, should I use the Live Fime System or mastered?

I like PD7 (I'm using Ultra with 2227c) but I sure find the burning bit at the end a headache (and heartache).

Thanks
Regards
John
