Print to DVD Fails

[Scott Chapin]

For some reason, it stopped while burning shortly after it took two hours to encode. Two questions:

1. Why did the directory show C:\Documents and Settings\? Wouldn't this go to the working drive?

2. When I tried to reburn, it would not let me do it. A dialogue came up asking me whether to delete the folder. When I clicked "NO" it just stopped. When I clicked yes, it started to transcode all over again!

in order to burn further copies, close Edius

start/program files/edius/DVD burner... select the folder that has Video_TS

the reason it saved to docs and settings and was slow is because you forgot to set the path to the working folder in advanced settings

Thank you Anton. I have corrected the folder location. It still seems to be going slow, but I am on a USB external. Now I can figure out how to burn again without encoding.

In the meantime, I'm installing Edius on my main machine that's in my signature. I should have done that days ago.

Moving the working folder to the working drive and slowing the burn speed to 4x worked a treat. Now I can go to bed :-).

Doesn't exist....:-(

[antonsvideo]

what does not exist? the software? or the project folder?

[Scott Chapin]

The path programs>edius>DVD Burn.

I see programs>Canopus>Edius>(several options except DVD creator).

I found DVD Creator in the C:\programs structure and run it then select all of the VOBs to burn, but it still wants to delete the folder.

Hi Scott

are you using 5.11?

see attached

[Scott Chapin]

No, not yet. I was hoping to get this project done first, and didn't realize DVD Burner was a 5.11 option.

I experienced no problems with the upgrade and unfinished projects

[Scott Chapin]

Hi Anton,

I will definitely upgrade, now that I see it is broke :-). At first it wouldn't read my disc, so I tried unsuccessfully to eject it. That was a big mistake. When it got to the burn stage, it did eject, saying operation canceled!

One more go tonight, and I'm squeezing my thumbs. After that, I will upgrade when I'm rested.

Thank you!

My DVD drive was dying on my Core 2 Duo LT and is now kaput...LOL! Burned it successfully on my quad core in half the time....:-).

My work drive was a 500 GB 7200RPM USB drive and could go firewire with it. Begs 2 questions.

1. Would the firewire connection be materially faster?
2. Would an external eSATA be even significantly faster?

[GrassValley_BH]

Yes and Yes, assuming no bus conflicts or bus bandwidth issues (from multiple devices using the bus at the same time).

I just try this and it doesn't work for me either, the pop up said it has finished encoding but it won't burn to dvd, and yes I do have a blank disc in the drive, I also have disc image check but could not find the disc image .iso, only the video ts folder.?
