Can't Burn Dvd Video Files To Dvd, Or Dvd's To Video File On Hd

[MVideo01]

Background:

I am using Roxio EMC7 to burn my home video DVD's to DVD video files on my Dell 8400, XP Media edition.

I create DVD's from Adobe PE2, and limit DVD disk size to approx 4-4.1 GB, which is approx 1 hr of video.

I have 40 GB space left on C-drive, and 80 GB space left on my internal video archive drive - so plenty of space available

My DVD's play fine in DVD player, Win Media player, and Dell Power DVD (I use R+)

I have 60 video folders created from Adobe PE, 4 of which I am having trouble with (other 56 are fine, and compatible to copy from video file to a DVD)

 

My problem:

I have 4 video DVD files (out of 60 total I have created) that I cannot copy to a DVD from Roxio EMC7.

Even the original Video folder (created from Adobe PE2) is not "seen" by Roxio EMC7 in the right hand dialog box when I try to "copy a DVD from a Video folder" (note that the 56 other folders are seen and have nice icons and can be picked/burned to a DVD).

 

I have tried:

Copy a DVD from Video folder using EMC7 - no luck, can't see the contents in those folders

Copy the playable disks to Video folder - no luck; says it completed successfully.....but then subsequent note says "unspecified error"

Import the disk directly into Adobe PE, to re-create a video folder that Roxio can see - again, no luck, the import crashes about 1/2way in.

 

Questions/Comments:

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If yes - any suggestions/ideas?

Is there a EMC 7 patch, or IE patch that I need for Roxio to see these video folders and burn to disk?

I am thinking that these are bad disks, but I can't see why since these 4 disks play fine on DVD player and my computer, in different SW programs.....so why Roxio can't work with these disks or the Video folder that was created from Adobe.........when 56 other files and DVD's are fine.

 

Thanks to anyone who might be able to help or make other suggestions......I'm close to being done troubleshooting/experimenting. My last resort is to get the original video, re-capture, re-edit/encode/assemble/burn........and then try Roxio again.........a huge time commitment that is risky - I may have exact same problem.

Look in the VIDEO_TS folders and compare the contents between a Folder that works and one that does not.

 

What is the difference?

From all that you said, it appears it has nothing to do, at all, with EMC 7 and every thing to do with Adobe.

 

Do what Jim suggested.
