premier pro
I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. I am getting different info on how Premier Pro works with the 64 bit system. I have already run into the fact the PPro does not recognize my DVD burner. Is there a way around this and are there any other problems I need to be aware of before I start another project? I hate the thought of going back to my single core processor but I don’t want to get stuck on a project either. Would it make a difference to buy an external burner or is it just the 64 bit system that’s the problem? Is there something that can be done so that PPro will see the burner even with the 64 bit system?
Thanks, Chris

What do you mean “PPro doesn’t recognize” the DVD burner? Are you trying to read data from it?

When I try to burn my project it says no DVD burner detected. I also see that Windows now no longer recognizes the DVD Rom either. I found a couple of posts about this but no solutions. Sounds like this becames a problem after installing some Adobe products

“Burn” a project?
What version of PPro are we talking about? The only version I remember burning directly to a Video DVD was CS2.
Encore authors/burns Video DVD…
I’m not sure what trend you’re referring to when you say there is a problem with Adobe and DVD burners… I run Windows 7…no issues…it recognizes both my burners.
I don’t see how Adobe would change the system’s interaction with the DVD burnern. Adobe installs no hardware drivers.

Did you look in the Device Manager to see if the DVD burner is listed? and if its enabled?

I’m using CS2

OK…CS2.
I don’t know how many people are running CS2 on Windows 7…we’re talking about an application that was released in January 2006 running on an operating system that wouldn’t even exist for nearly four years (October, 2009).
I’d guess there are lots of interesting quirks in that system.
Most software companies support the existing release and the preceding release, which for Adobe would be CS5 and CS4… I’d say that it isn’t out of the question that there is simply a distinct incompatibility. Adobe would have dropped support (and therefore tracking any operational anomalies) a year before Windows 7 was released, so it wouldn’t have been even tested on Windows 7, much less designed for it.
However, if Windows can’t see the DVD-R burner, I’d guess you have some other system-borne issue.
If Windows 7 just won’t work nicely with Windows 7, creating a Windows XP boot partition might be an option…
…or upgrading your Adobe software (though alas, Premiere Pro could only burn direct to DVD in vCS2, so you’d have to adapt to using Encore, although that would add a lot of features and tools for you.)
I don’t know what else to tell you…CS2 was a great application and I’d say that as PPro grew in functionality after CS2, you could make a credible argument that it became a bloated application after that…however, the likelihood that CS2 will continue to be compatible with new hardware is going to become slimmer as time goes on.
(Even though I bet CS2 runs like a rocket-ship on that new system…)

I know I’m a year late. To make this simple. After I install my Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium Student, which includes CS2, into my new Dell XPS I5, my DVD is no longer found when I click on my computer. Something to do with the driver. I try reinstalling the driver, but my DVD still won’t work. However, when I uninstall my Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium Student, which includes CS2, my DVD burner and driver are functional again.
So, I will install everything, but the CS2 and see what happens.
