Disc Burning Problem

[Greenacre]

I have just uninstalled Creator 2011 that I used without problems. I installed Creator NXT Pro without problems. However when I came to burn a DVD Roxio MYDVD-Cinemagic6 (DVD hangs with no error message. It is a simple 112MB slide show I want to burn. I press the burn button. the usual small screen appears the open project has a tick, I see each of the slides in the small window. the overall progress bar reaches 62% and then the program stops and hangs without any error message. The disc is not written to so I can use it again. To get out of the program I perform a Cntrl Alt Del then select log off. I have tried several times and always fails at 62%. I have dragged and dropped the slides only into the Roxio burn program and this burns the slides ok. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you

What is Roxio MYDVD-Cinemagic6?

[Jim_Hardin]

Yes that sentence is a little quirky

 

But overall you seem to indicate that the program locks up during burn...

 

I think what you want to do is try a repair but make sure you do it this way...

 

 

Turn off your Anti Virus, Firewalls, Registry Cleaners, etc. and insert your Roxio Disc (download version - run Install)

 

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!

 

Then turn your AV & Firewall back on and reboot.

 

Give that a shot and see what happens

Did "Roxio MYDVD-Cinemagic6" come preinstalled on your computer?

​

​Are you sure it is CineMagic and not Cinematic? The later is part of the Triple Scoop Music program.

In C2012 myDVD under the Movie option on the manu bar there is a "Add New Cinemagic Movie" option. Is that also there in NXT and is that what the poster is referring to?

Having created your slide project and clicked next the output screen appears, click next to burn disc then.

Roxio MyDVD-CineMagic (DVD) Screen appears.

Select Style etc.

Select Burn Button

Burn Projrct screen appears

Hangs at 62%

Note: I have added audio. I have increased slide time to 8sec I have turned off zoom and pan.

I ran a preview at each stage and this runs ok.

The Cinemagic6 referred to above the 6 is the number of attempts.

I have again stared from scratch and the same thing happens

Try a different new small test project. Don't use any photos or audio from this project in the test.

Thanks for all your responses.

My discs where purchased from Roxio ie not a down load.

I will try taking my slide show and remove sound then try it. If still won't burn put zoom and pan back try it etc. to try and eliminate the burn problem.

If all this fails then I will try the repair route using my disc.

Watch this space!!

Thanks again for the help

Why not use Videowave to create your slideshow. It is the one recommended by most of the "experts". THen using Output, export your project to a DVD mpeg, best quality file. This way there is no burning invloved and you can see whether the problem is with your project or with the burn process.

Hi, I have found the problem but not the solution. The problem seems to be when I add slides in Slide Show Assistant (step 1). I them add text to several slides using the text facility in ( step 1). this seems to prevent the disc from burning and hangs up. If I do not add any text then the disc burn is successful. I realise I could add the text to the slides before loading them into Slide Show Assistant but the program has this facility and it should work. Any ideas please

Ideas, reread the first two sentences in myguggi's post #9.
