Problem Writing To Disc


Adam868

Question

I have been using this product for a couple weeks and it worked just fine. I have been moving VHS's to DVD's. All of a sudden now right when I am ready to burn onto the DVD via the software, it starts to burn it and even says "exporting" like it is working, then after a few minutes an error message pops up that says "Problem writing to the disc" and it spits the blank DVD out. I have tried rebooting my laptop a few times, I have tried repairing the program via the uninstall on the control panel, I have tried shutting the program down and restarting, nothing helped. Again, it did work just fine and all of a sudden the program itself works, but does not let me put onto a DVD.

 

I am using DVD+R with 4.7 GB capacity, and they have worked just fine thus far.

The ones here marked as "Digital Guru", are trusted, long time contributors here. Don't work for Roxio, but Roxio was the one who came up with taht title for us...

 

I we tell you to go to the sink and turn on the hot water, do it rather than ask why...

 

(we are getting ready to wash a disc in that example ;) )

I tried everything tonight...nothing worked. I updated windows, I uninstalled the the drive and restarted the computer so it reinstalled.

 

I also decided to check to make sure all software and drivers were up to date. I installed directx to make my computer performance faster.

 

This is all on top of restarting my computer and repairing the installation.

 

Anymore suggestions?

I burned a DVD onto Windows DVD Maker with the same DVD's and it worked just fine. Only thing is it doesn't have titles explaining what each DVD clip is, like the Roxio program had. Also when it goes from scene to scene it makes a loud Whooshing sound just for 1 second each time it switches scenes...not sure why Windows DVD maker does that.

 

This is so puzzling to me, especially seeing as the Roxio program worked just fine for a few weeks straight and is only giving me a problem now. What would I do from here?

Is 'auto fit' checked?

 

Do you get any warning down by the burn button?

 

 

AutoFit

When this checkbox is selected, projects are compressed, if necessary, to fit on the disc you have inserted into your DVD burner. Any resulting change in quality will be reported in the notification area next to the Burn button.

 

 

 

What is the total play time you trying to burn?

Auto Fit is checked; I have used that for the past few DVD's I have burned, and so far it worked ok.

I do not get any warnings by the burn button.

 

The total running time is 1 hour and 32 minutes. The past few DVD's I have burned worked ok with even being about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Plus it does tell me if it is too large to fit on the DVD before I actually press burn, and it doesn't say it's too large.

 

 

Thank you again for taking the time to give me suggestions, very much appreciated

You can only get 60 minutes of best quality video on a 4.7GB DVD. Any longer and the video has to be compressed and you lose quality. Fit-to-disc is the worst possible choice to make - it creates bad quality video. Use the Span across multiple discs if you want good quality

Well I did try taking some video down and putting it at 1 hour and 15 mins...still didn't work. But again the projects at 1 hour and 40 mins did work. So it can't be that it's too big, because again it tells me if it can't fit on the disc before I press burn

I'm not sure what you mean by formats.

 

I don't get that either.

 

You have to try something instead of saying it worked before because it's not working now!

 

Is this one project you keep trying to burn?

 

Try another VHS conversion and try that one?

 

Fit to disc is not a good option do best quality with a hour of video and tell us if it burns?
