Maywest Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Did you get my file? I googled Acer Aspire 7551-3650 and it came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 True... But 12 hours I am sure it can do better than that Agreed, 12 hours is excessive! But we have no information on what else is going on with that system, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Maywest has a rather "slow" computer and I would not expect a 1:1 or even close to it True... But 12 hours I am sure it can do better than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Are you packing 2 Hours onto a 4.7 GB Disk! Since they were only intended to hold 1 hour of video, that is one reason why it might be taking so long... I would really expect your PC to do a 1:1 or close to it. If you have an DVD RW, try a 1 hour Project, @ HQ and see what it can do.

Maywest Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi I tried a 2 hour project to burn and took 12 1/2 hours. So this is normal apparently. And the big thing is I can play the video. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi Again I really don't know what happened with the above email. I played around and now feeling embarrassed I got the video working . I'll try another one tomorrow. Hopefully all is OK. And thanks again for all your help. Sooo... where are we at on this now???

bimicher Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi Just to let you know that after 6 1/2 hrs the only thing on the DVD+RW is: METADATA.DAT DAT FILE 1024KB PLASMADATA.DAT - DAT FILE 22KB PROJECTDATA.DMSD - DMSD FILE 117 KB I can't even open this file. Should I just take this back to the store and get a refund. It's definitely not user friendly. I have no idea what you did to create a DVD containing those files, it is certainly not what you would get when you create a video DVD. If you bought it at a store you most likely will not get a refund on opened software. Can you list the exact steps you are taking to create the DVD? Also what do you mean by the comment "I can't even open this file."? or the comment "I really don't know what happened with the above email." from post #17. You may think that Roxio is "unfriendly", you should try some of the other packages and you will quickly change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sknis Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Can someone tell me if DVD-R is useable for this product? I used the record, edit and save. I clicked on burn (export). After 3 hours it did 65%. I cancelled it. Is this time normal. Thanks for any help Getting back to your original question. Yes a DVD-R is OK for your computer and for the program. Yes, you computer may be a little on the slow side. In the past, encoding and burning was a 4 or 5 to 1 time ratio. Yours looks like it is a little slower than that. Get one or two good quality DVD RW for testing. You don't want to use these for permanant work but they are good for temporary tests. The first thing to try is to change the encoding and rendering from "Hardware" to "software" or vice versa depending on where it is set now. Let us know if it is faster. Also make sure you are not doing anyhting else which the project is encoding and burning. Don't do e-mail, surf the net, etc. In fact, try disconnecting from the internat, shutting off your anti-virus and starting the encoding when you don't plan on using the computer for awhile. With a little luck, you may cut down that 6 to 1 to 3 or 4 to 1. Only the newest faster CPU and video cards (GPU) can get to 1 to 1 or faster. Let us know if the suggestions abouve help.

cdanteek Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I went to the Acer web site and looked for that model Aspire 7751 and there was no such computer. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-AS7551-2531-17-3-Inch-Laptop/dp/B003LYVFK6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not so far. I went to the Acer web site and looked for that model Aspire 7751 and there was no such computer. Are there any letters or other numbers? At this point, since you can't do a screen shot (althought the instructions are there), go ahead and get the dxdiag.exe file and attach it. The instructions are in the link I provided above. It will give us a lot more information especially about the current condition of that laptop. We can get things like the video driver information, the status of your hard drives etc. By the way, a DVD-R usability is not an issue for the program; it is the issue for the DVD burner you have. I Googled for it and found several instances where it didn't work correctly for burning DVD in general. I don't think that is your problem however.

sknis Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 In order of how much infromation we can get: How about just the name and model number or Speccy (free) main page with no cds key niumbers or Ddxdiag.exe. (for the last two, go here and follow the instructions to attach a file.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Hardin Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Your PC specs as GPB asked and any more info about your Project, source? output settings? etc. Most of here have been using Roxio since it was 'Adaptec' in the mid 90's. If it were 'unfriendly' we would have noticed by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi My project was 1 hour long. It took 8 hours to burn. Then nothing on the disc. Any ideas for me. Very frustrating. I'm thinking Roxio is not a friendly product. I have a Creator 2009 that never worked properly either. List your computer specs, similar to I have mine listed in my signature.

Jim_Hardin Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't click the topic solved button please! Agreed!!! (due to Board Software glitch, it makes your post invisible ) For your problem, How Big is the total time for your Production and what size is the disc? Hint ~ 4.7 GB disc hold 1 hour and an 8.5 GB, 2 hours... If you have a Project that greatly exceeds those limits, then it does take forever because each frame (30 for 1 second) has to be loaded, reduced and resaved. Depending on your CPU that can take some time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
