From: Won't complete past 97%

[BIKE]

Hi..

 

I have a roxio creator 2010 software on my Windows XP PC computer.. I used Roxio MyDVD program to burn to my DVD, it opens project, encode movies, encode menus, record menus just fine except it won't complete past 97%.. I checked my dvd drive to make sure it've been enabled, I disabled it and enabled it again to check, still no luck. I even checked my dvd drive for updates, it shows that it've been updated. What am I missing?

 

Thank you in advance.

I don't have a problem at all, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden media.

 

Are you having a problem too, or just muddying the waters?

 

As I remember I was the first one to reply to the OP. It seem like everyone was asking questions of the OP trying to find out why using MyDVD, he couldn't burn past 97%. Nothing was solved as far as the problem was concerned. As far as who's having the identical problem, I AM !! In trying to duplicate the OP's problem I decided to do a videowave burn in MyDVD (C2010 Pro) using an old Videowave production that I had made with C2010 Pro.

 

MyDVD brought the dmsm file up no problem. I then changed the Menu Style, stopped the menu audio and the previewed the production. That previewed great right to the end. btw, the production had 40 jpg photos and one avi video which was approx. 15 minutes. Next I started the burn to a disk (no ISO checked). The burn began as expected until it reached 97%[/color]. At that point it ahd completed all the line item tasks except the "Complete" part. I waited for approx 1/2 hour and checked the task amnager and it showed the program was "NOT Responding" at that point I stopped the entire process. btw, the blank disk I had in the DVD drive had nothing on it---NOTHING !

 

So YES, I did duplicate the OP's problem and at this point in the thread, there has been no solution posted as to why this is happening.

 

So why won't the Roxio program burn past 97% ?

 

How do we fix it?

 

So I can repeat Brendon's same questions !! There has to be something that is causing this problem. OH, and I was using Vista HP 32 bit OS for all this.

Terry,

 

Thanks for the Deliverance

 

It seems it must all hinge on what's happening around and after the 97% mark. We might have to ask at the source, what the story is.

 

I've already asked the "Source" a few days agoabout that 97% Mate and not a peep yet !!! Maybe this will be different

 

Frank...

[Brendon]

Probably hasn't been one yet. I'll ask Ivan.

Did somebody delete the reply?

 

I never saw a reply from Ivan or Jon

The "ask source" was via a PM, not a thread reply.

I think my CD software is a defect.. I need a new CD because there's a little chip (crack or scratch) on the brand new disc like I mentioned before.

 

Same problem with VHS2DVD on other poster.. I've been stuck for 1 month.. I'm frustrated here.

 

I doubt that your program disk is defective (but That's a guess on my part) as there have been several other problem posts regarding the stoppage or long wait at the 97% in burning a DVD, including myself. And my installation disks are fine. This problem has been sent to Roxio asking for some reason or solution and they are looking into it. I am confident that they will have an answer for it soon. So stayed tuned

 

Frank...

[BIKE]

Ok..

[REDWAGON]

Ok..

 

Thanks for your patience Bike

Hi guys, I have to bump this thread as I am having the exact same problem. Has a solution been discovered yet?

Thank you in advance.

 

 

I experienced the same thing; however, if I waited 3, 4 (?) minutes it did finish. Just seems to take a long time to get through the last 3%

[BIKE]

Roxio software replacement for what? Why did you use "Burn Data on disc using Roxio" and for what?

 

THere seems to be some problem when burning at 97% but no one from Roxio seems to be responding at this point.

 

Another poster has the 97% problem, this time in VHS2DVD?

Terry,

 

Thank you.

[tbrewst]

I don't see one.I used MyDVD to burn the disc and don't see it as an option anywhere.

It just ejected the disc when it was finished.I got the Audio alert and then an eject.

[malatekid]

I don't want to get in the middle of an argument but I just tried this and it worked ok.

 

I put a short video that was already mpeg in to VW,sent it to MyDVD,Set it all up with menus and the like and then burned.

The burn screen showed all the progress then it got to 95%.It stayed there for a few,maybe a minute tops and then went to 97%.The only thing not checked was Completed.It sat there for approx 3 min and then finished and ejected the disc,which plays just fine.So it does work on an XP machine with an nVidia card.

 

I did this on my work machine which has XP Home and an nVidia 6600 for a video card.The card has the latest drivers (this past weeks).I used a Memorex disc.

 

Just another test for you to go by.

Terry,

 

Quick question: I am not in front of a computer with C2010 but is there an option to enable to eject disc after a burn? I vaguely recall this option to be available in VCC in earlier version of Creator.

Hello, I'm a big time newbie to the forum so I have not had time to add any of my personal info. I was about to add a "me too" reply to this issue but took the time to sit and watch the encoding and burning process all the way through when I was burning a dvd. When your movie and menu finishes encoding you are at 97%. While the disc is "burning" there is no additional progress bar to show you where you are in the burning process so you really have no way of knowing (which is really not a great design). Anyway, my disc did actually finish after what seemed like a really long time (was probably around 20 minutes or so). If you waited hours that seems too long and it sounds like you have something else going on there, but I do have to say that I liked the way Roxio 2009 showed "progress" much better than this version of the program which is kind of misleading and can very easily make a user think that the program has frozen. Good Luck, I hope you find your solution

[REDWAGON]

One more test I completed last night was running a debugging test to see if that would show something. When it stopped at the 97% again I waited for some time and then cancelled out of the program and burn.

 

When looking what the debug showed there were quite a few lines (Wordpad) that showed "GraphBuilder" all in red text and then a "NULL" entry right at the end, which was when I stopped the program.

 

I have no idea what this "GraphBuilder" is doing but it's after the 97% stoppage in the program.

[cdanteek]

Sorry,

I wrote image file, wrote files/folders to disc.

 

High fives to you for getting it to burn to the DVD, using Imgburn! Where did you hear about Imgburn? There are many of us who use that program, too.

 

Okay, that clears up a lot of the confusion, and you should have explained earlier, that you actually got the files "burned" to a Folder Set.

 

And, Verbatim media, as suggested by Big_Dave, is something you should explore as an alternative to using the Magnavox DVDs. Magnavox does not make media. Someone else makes it for them.

 

I guess I must have missed your suggestions that would help Bike.

 

I was trying to clear up the confusion, and did. Dave, in Post #16 had a good suggestion of trying Verbatim media, and with Cdanteek's post, it became readily apparent that there was confusion on whether or not Bike was successful in burning to a Folder Set or .iso file. Cdanteek did not think that Bike was successful in "burning" to either. I ascertained that he was successful in burning to a Folder Set.

 

Now, Bike was not able to burn the Folder Set to a DVD, with the Roxio software, or at least I don't think he was. Hopefully, he will come back and let us know if he did try, and if so, what program he used to try it. If it failed, it is my hope that Bike will try some Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden media. I have had no problems with burning my Folder Sets to DVDs, using Video Copy & Convert.

 

I hope that this clears things up for you, Brendon.

 

 

 

Frank, Bike has Windows XP, but I don't think it should make a difference. Have you tried burning to a Folder Set, then to a DVD? I just burned a Folder Set, made in Creator 2010, and burned it to a DVD, using Video Copy and Convert, and I did not experience any problems.

 

Cdanteek did not think

 

 

 

" and with Cdanteek's post, it became readily apparent that there was confusion"

 

The only muddling of waters and confusion was in post #18 on, your assumption of confusion, and "I ascertained that he was successful in burning to a Folder Set.."

 

OP stated "Sorry, I wrote image file, wrote files/folders to disc" there was no mention of a Roxio Video Folder Set.

 

The whole point of muddling the waters in your post #18 was your support of Big_Dave and the use of Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden media. I had already covered that ground with the OP and we were past that.

 

Your "Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden media" angle died and your back to where I was with the OP.

 

The "High fives" victory with your assumption the OP burned a Video Folder Set made in a Roxio product to DVD with ImgBurn? Did he, he always posted everything died a 97% with Roxio.

 

Now after two other users point out a 97% stall/problem, your going to try it and see.

 

Thinking, or speaking for me is disrespectful, don't do it again...

[grandpabruce]

Yeah, as a matter of fact Bruce, I did a few things just to experiment to see what would happen.

btw, I did know that Bike was running XP and my tests and problem was on Vista. But I agree that shouldn't make any difference, especially the fact we are both having the same problem.

 

This time I am still using the same videowave dmsm file all the time so that will eliminate one problem. Instead of burning to disk, I only burned to an ISO file as a test. Well, it got to that same 97% and stopped for a long time again. I waited for about 5 minutes and thought it was going to do the same thing again, so I clicked on the task bar and task manager to see what was going on. At first it showed not responding and then all of a sudden it changed to running. However the regular prgram screen disappeared and only the small block screen that shows the recording lines appeared. Then in another minute it jumped to "completed". (More than 5 minutes indicates something is still wrong imo).

 

Now to duplicate Bike's burn I burned a DVD using that ISO file but using IMGBurn. That burned the DVD in about 6 minutes. I then played it on the computer (Cyberlink Power DVD) ands also on my set top DVD player and both played the entire DVD all O.K. (Video and audio).

 

I think that at that 97% mark in the burn procedure, it is a default program thing where it must be closing the disk or something else. But I still haven't gotten the MyDVD program to burn to disk no matter what I try. It just stops at 97% and stays there indefinitely, or until you close out of the program ??

 

Frustrating to say the least, but I'm not giving up on this problem just yet !!

 

Frank...

 

When I get time today, I will run another test to see if I can duplicate the problem. When burning, closing the disc does take some time, but it shouldn't be 5 minutes.

 

[Brendon]

Okay,

 

I installed Creator 2010 on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, and did the run-through.

When I went to burn the project in MyDVD to an RW disc, the program offered to erase the disc. The eraser showed a progress bar which stopped at 97%. Then the box went blank, then after a second the progress bar returned showing 100%

 

When I burned my project to DVD-Folder it went without hitch.

When I burned to an ISO there was a pause at 97% for a second or so, then it completed.

When I burned it to disc there was a pause at 97% for several seconds, and then it completed.

 

It seems that there is something significant happening in that last 3% of burn-time. Perhaps it is finalizing the disc/image. That would explain why when MyDVD hangs at 97% no contents can be seen on the disc - the table of contents hasn't been written.

 

We need to find out from Sonic/Roxio what is happening in that last 3% of burn-time, and why the process is failing there for some people. It can't be because the drive is incapable of finalizing the disc, since the disc burns properly with other utilities such as ImgBurn.

 

I will try this out [when I get the chance] with Creator 2010 in XP and Vista [ugh!].

Brendon
