Wow
this all appears really confusing and a rather long winded way to achieve what should really be a simple operation. Downloading upto 5 different programmes to achieve what ??

Is what I’m doing completely wrong ??

As I said I am a newb and the previous link the poster kindly gave me to read has fried my brain !!!!!

Can someone please explain in plain dumb English for me – AND PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE

thanks again
Andy

Thank you Peter and others.
The issue I fear is not her player as it played other authored DVD’s, however the one I gave her played on her Mac book but not on her player.

I will try burning at lower speed and see if that works.

Forgive me for what appears a little ignorance, but, I am a newb with burning to DVD and if I may have a little critique to the method I am employing to produce the DVD it would be helpful to me.

1/ Capture project to Prem Pro from HDV camera
2/ Edit using prem pro
3/ Export final project via media – format H264 – PAL wide screen High Quality
4/ Once rendered – open encore – import file and create menus – then build DVD
5/ Settings are Format = DVD; output = DVD disc; enable = all regions
6/ Open CD burner XP – copy DVD produced in Encore – then write up to 20 discs at x16 speed.

In answer to the previous poster regarding why use XP burner and not encore – its much much quicker.

Any adivce or critique would be gratefully received -; we all have to learn somewhere and this forum is invaluable for that – so thanks for your time

many thanks

Andy

Well I have finally found the answer – and i have to say – completely unacceptable.

A clean uninstall and reinstall of master suite did the trick second time round. 5 hours of my life completely wasted.
Come on Adobe you can see there is a problem for quite a few people on this one – please create a fix !!!

thanks for the answers so far but I have already completed a sys restore and I did not install any new software before it started crashing

\yes I know 40 mins is a big file – but google allow unlimited file sizes which really helps me with this project. Any other formats ??
