Hi Debby,

I don't use the DVD side of things but does this post help at all?

No it didn't help. I should have mentioned also that I am using Vista OS. Can you tell me how to save the project that another burning software would recognize? I have Roxio Basic 9 and Magic DVD Copier but both say there is no video to burn.

I tried using the "Pack Files" option but that didn't help either. I can't find anything in the help files that will refer to the pack file option so I don't know WHAT that is doing...

I hate being so lost!

Hi Debby,

I'm not the expert on this but :-
edit your video >create disc>set up menus etc as normal>burn

uncheck burn to disc
check burn to DVD folder
Choose you destination directory using the ... button
OK

This should give you the DVD VOB files etc in that folder that you can then burn with another application.

Hope this helps
Cheers

I found that yesterday and was trying it but I had to shut it down as I had to go somewhere. I will try it again today. Seems funny that it takes as long to do that as it did to burn it. An hour and a half into it I had to stop. Guess it's going to take 3 and half hours to do it. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Debbie,

Seems like a long time but it depends on your system specs and content.

This post might help as well, there's a lot of issues with DVD burning that appear to relate to things like menus, titles and audio settings.

As I say I don't use it much, so maybe others can help if you still have a problem. If you use the search function - magnifier icon below Cyberlink Community Forum heading - you will find lots of suggestions/solutions.

Cheers

Hey Debby -

I got the error burning eb130581 also when trying to burn to a DVD-R (Memorex). Additonally, the DVD drive wouldn't open until I rebooted. I wasted several DVDs - frustrating.

However, I tried a DVD+RW (Memorex) and successfully burned my project with no errors. Then I copied it (using another software) to a DVD-R just so I wouldn't accidently erase the RW disc. Don't really know why that worked, but it did. Although it took an extra step, it made me a "happy camper"!

I've done a little research on the brands of DVDs. Of course, I always go for the 100 spindle bargains at Sam's Club, but I'm now realizing that although they may be cheaper, they also tend to have more burning failures so I may not be saving a lot of money.

Try looking at this site: www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm
and read this opinion about blank dvd media. I'm going to try a couple of types that they recommend and see if my burning failures become less frequent.

Hope that helps,
Cindy

Cindy, does this mean that PD isn't to blame here? Did you error at ~20% go away? Q9300 2.5 GHz
4 GB Ram
Nvidia 9800 GT

James, I don't know . . . maybe . . .

That was the problem I was having of it getting to 20% or so and then that "eb130581" error came up. Didn't happen with the DVD+RW (twice) as compared to 5 failures with the DVD-R, but I will try it again the next time I revise the project and see what happens a 3rd time with the RW.

Isn't that what they say, "3rd time's a charm?"

Cindy

I understand about the different medias but the media I am using I have been using all along.

Also I did as Adrian suggested and burned to a DVD folder. After doing that, using the exact same media, I was able to burn it, using a different program.

So, does that mean PD is selective in media?
