Unable To Burn A Video That Was Sent To Disk For Editing

[justphilip]

I have Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus and I have been able to copy videos directly to DVDs. My current Tape is too long for one DVD, so I decided to split the videos. I was able to watch the video while it was recording, edit it afterwards, add a menu and save it as an 8.0 KB VHS file. I named the project after recording it when I was unable to burn it to disc. The question is, did I do something wrong that prevents me to burn it to disc or is there a software/driver problem? TIA JP

Exactly what does 'Unable to burn it to disc' mean?

 

How you got to that point is interesting but the details of the 'Fail' are what we are after

Thank you for the response. After stopping the capture I clicked the ready to export arrow, selected the DVD icon, place a new DVD-R in my reader. The burn button did not light up and would not activate. JP

I just attempted to do a direct conversion to DVD and it did not work. I think WIN 8 has made NERO software the default software for burning disc. I left my PC alone while the capture was taking place and NERO was actively play the video; no DVD was created. Will this problem be too difficult for me to handle? JP

No Windows does not work that way... If a program 'burns', it addresses the burner without asking Windows if there is a default program. Default Programs are based on the File Extension and only apply when you Open a file.

 

The first steps would be to try some different media (Verbatim (Singapore) or JVC) and to do a proper repair of the software:

 

First thing to do is to turn off your Anti Virus, Firewalls, Registry Cleaners, etc.

 

Unplug your Roxio Capture Device and put it aside until you are completely finished.

 

Now insert your Roxio Disc.

 

Be sure you accept the offer to Check for Updates (this is for Roxio, not Windows)

 

When you reach the screen where

Repair

is offered, choose that!

 

When the Repair competes, turn your AV & Firewall back on and reboot.

When I loaded the install disc, it did not afford my the option to do a repair, probably because I had installed the March 2014 update patch. I therefor allowed a removal/re-install and the applied the patch again. I then opened the project, edited the header and trailer areas inserted different brand DVD, selected DVD output and attempted to burn. The Burn Button did not highlight and no burn was possible. Is it possible that 2hours 4 minute duration is to large to write onto the disc even though the "make fit" option was selected? TIA JP

Yesterday when I was attempting to use This software to burn a DVD, I came back to my PC to discover that CyberLink PowerDVD had activated and appeared to be playing my video. Today I discovered it was burning the DVD. I had stopped it and the DD is incomplete. Also I do not know if it would do a fit to DVD" or utilize Roxio elected options. I am really puzzled. JP
