First time trying to edit digital movie shot on my Sony Bloggie. BTW: I used to be a TV new photog back in the day of Bolex 16mm and Auricon SOF...so I'm only experienced with; a Fearless Houston film processor, masking tape (to hang up the clips); cement and a slicer to join the clips; a film cleaner and pad to clean the edited footage.
Having made my excuses, this is my problem: I shot 1:58min , 720HD MP4 which I've edited down to 1:38 running time. Corel Studio Pro 6x is telling me 10.83GB are needed and my DVD is just 4.7 GB ready.
First: will the Video Studio 6x convert the final product to either MPEG2 or AVCHD so it will play on my Panasonic BD75 DVD player? They appear to be viable options on Corel x6 but the Adobe Premire Elements 3 I tried to use to burn a disc to didn't like my MP4.
Second: assuming Corel will burn it as MPEG@A or AVCHD, how do I break my completed project into two smaller ones so that I can burn them on two discs, assuming it's impossible to compress them into one disc. The finished file is 4.3 GB so why that won't fit onto a 4.7 DVD is another question.
I want to burn my project I have created on VSX4 to a DVD. I don't want to create a menu or add chapters or anything else, I just want to burn my project to the DVD. I have followed the instructions in the user guide to bring my project in to be burnt, but the next button remains greyed out so I can't go to the next step to enable it to be burnt.
I am burning DVDs from an hour long project file in ProX5, of a two act opera. Act I burned fine, but Act II which is a separate project comes out on the DVD with the audio ahead of the video. I am making coasters, have quite a collection. I've never had this problem before with burning DVDs. I have burn speed set to 16x, not maximum. In the past I normally use the project rendered to a movie for the DVD burn, but with editing changes I keep making, it is faster to just burn directly from the project.
I am not using a separate audio file. The audio is embedded in the video.When I play the project and not the DVD, the audio and video are fine.
I am trying to burn a non-HD project onto a Blu-Ray Disk and every time after the video/audio stage I get the "unspecified error" message. I have now wasted 6 Blu-ray disks trying to solve this problem. I have reloaded the software and uploaded the patch. I have checked and all my drivers are up to date.
Files are not corrupted as I have checked. I have even tried this on a 16 second video and it fails. I can burn it to DVD but the quality is poor. I have tried reducing the speed to the lowest setting at 4X. It is writing to the BD-R as mentioned but the content is not recognized. If I write it to a Blu-ray file it appears to work.
I have tried exporting in various ways, it will burn to a dvd, but one way wouldn't play sound, another only play on my MAC, another played through media player but not on a dvd player. I looked it up and it says something about Encore. Is that something I have already? If so, how do I access it?
I've built a project up with several smaller project file components. It's an easier way to create a video than editing one big project.
Opening the overall project and running it on screen is not a problem. However, when I try to create a smart package of the composite project, I get a consistent error message rejecting the process because of the existence of the component vsp's.
Is there a way to avoid the error and create a smart package from a project file that has smaller component project files?
I'm using the TBYB version of X4. I have 39 video clips that were recorded on a new samsung standard def. vid cam. The native files are MP4 files. I transfered them from the SD card to my hard drive simply by dragging them over. They play fine in any version of VS.
I'm doing NOTHING fancy. No moving menus. No music on the menus. Just a main title page and enough menu pages to accommodate the 39 files. No audio normalization.
It NEVER gets to the point where it outputs to the DVD. As soon as it finishes whatever it's doing on file 39....whammo....unspecified error. It also takes 30+ minutes to render the file, never getting to the burning.
I have a 2.8ghz Quadcore CPU running Win7 64 bit Professional.
I tried this same procedure in X2. Burning completed successfully to the SAME blank DVD-RW and took approx 30 mins....so X2 on my system is faster.
Unfortunately, X2 is unusable for me with any video files OTHER than AVI files. Any other video files result in "skipping" audio as I've reported in another thread.
I've restared the project from scratch several times but to no avail. Is pointless to try X3 because it has the same audio problem for me that X2 has. My DirectX runtimes are from Oct. of 2010.
Does VS5 have the DVD burn program within it, not a separate program? I am using Corel DVD Movie Factory and also use ProX3. I prefer using my own template or rather my own jpegs for the background. Movie Factory forces me to use their templates, meaning I can't just have a jpeg in the background, have to use their gallery and I spend frustrating time moving off the template parts or hiding them, unless it's there in Movie Factory and I just didn't know how to not use something from the gallery.
With VS X4 I edited my .mts files into .vsp files. Then successfully created video files (.m2t 1440 x 1080 files) . I selected 1440 x 1080 because it is the setting set on my camcorder.
My question is in the Create disc step:
1. if I burn these .m2t files and select "DVD" would the resolution be back to that of .mpg in the final DVD? 2. If I burn these .m2t files and select "AVCHD" and instead of burning directly onto a disk, placed it on a hard drive folder. Then later could I burn it on a regular DVD disk? If that is the case, is the disk playable on a regular DVD player? Or, do I have to burn it on Blue Ray?
I know I could experiment it but my project has 4 Titles, each of about 30 min duration, that I want to burn. I tried to find the answer on the Forum and also in the Manual but could not find the answer there.
When I get to the step where one edits the main and sub menus, I am only given the option to RETURN. The NEXT button is missing. This problem appeared after I was forced to re-install VSX2 following a computer crash. I am now running it on Windows 7 Home Premium.
I just tried to burn a DVD for the first time on my new computer and it keeps getting to "output disc" and crashing. A Windows message pops up saying it had a problem and needs to close the program. Is this something with Windows 7? I've already updated my VS x2 and directX.
On Windows 7 OS (64bit) getting the following error when attempting to burn a DVD: Unspecified error 5:0:0
I've attached a jpeg image containing the error.
Tried looking in the knowledgbase, but of course it's under construction. Tried contacting support, but of course the chat system is down. Then to add insult to injury, friggin Corel wants to charge me $15 to describe to them this burn error on their product. If I had known that this was the quality of product and level of support I was going to receive, I never would have purchased this product.

My Videostudio is in Chinese(I hate it but no choice in HK shops), so sometime is hard for me to understand how to do this and that!
I see some topic said I can try to make a ISO first instead of using the burn function, I try to output the project to a videso and a m2t file come out, I getting confuse now, how can I make the ISO file, by using the create video file? or create a disc? I have different project all put in one disc, if I burn the ISO, still have the menu?
I am trying to burn multiple copies of a video I have produced. In the final screen to create a disk there is an option to choose multiple copies. I always select multiple copies and it burns the first one perfectly, the burner drawer opens and it asks me to provide another disk. When I do so I get the error: "Does not support burning of DVD-Video on Empty disc. Supports burning on DVD-R/DVD-R DL/DVD-RW/DVD+R DL/DVD+RW disc. Please insert another disc to continue, or click Cancel to stop the process."
The disk burner is a ASUS BW-12D1S-U.
This is quite frustrating as I seem to have to cancel each time and ask it to generate another disc, which I suspect is a longer process then just making multiple copies.
When trying to create a disc it opens dvd factory 2010 and does everything Ok but when I try to burn the project it gets about 95% through the burn process and fails. It seems like it is putting the files on but failing in the "writing lead out" phase. I've tried 3 different dvd burns to make sure that isn't the issue. I can create a file and then use nero to burn the disc fine but not when going through VS pro x3/DVD factory
I've had nothing but problems with this latest project, finally got what looks decent and can't get past "preview" in the burn module. There's no "next" button, just "back."

VS Pro X4 - I do not consider myself an expert with video editing/authoring, but I do have a fair amount of experience with capturing/editing/authoring h.264 files via a Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR, ArcSoft Total Media Extreme, and VideoReDo. In fact, I have burned around 5,000 DVD and 2,000 AVCHD discs with outstanding results using those products, as well as editing and storing thousands more captured programs directly to HDD. Unfortunately, these products do not allow me to create Blu-ray discs, so that is why I am trying to switch over to VS X4.
My baseline for what I want from VS X4 is simply what I have been able to do with no effort at all using ArcSoft Total Media Extreme (supplied with the HD-PVR): I capture HD programing at 1280x720p 60fps using a variable bit rate (usually 7 Mbps) and AC3 audio, edit out unwanted material, add menu and chapters, then burn directly to an AVCHD disc. Using this method, I generally get a minimum of 3 hours HD material on a standard DVD5 blank, and total authoring/burning time for a disc is somewhere around 20 minutes.
My problem is that I have not been able to come anywhere close to this efficiency yet with VS X4. The .ts source files play and edit in VS X4 just fine, but then I hit a wall when I try to produce the output. There don't seem to be any default project profiles to create AVCHD 1280x720p, and even when I try to use Customize, i cannot access the needed fields, such as user defined frame size. And everything I have tried produces HUGE output files, 4 or 5 times larger than the source files!
Sample Source file MediaInfo: ID : 0 (0x0) Complete name : C:UsersPublicVideosInput for Edit or ResizeHoliday for Lovers 720p_7.1v.TS Format : MPEG-TS File size : 2.30 GiB Duration : 1h 43mn Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 3 166 Kbps Maximum Overall bit rate : 18.0 Mbps
I have created disc images of some projects. The 'share' option allows for making disc images but I can't see how to burn a disc from the image using VS X4.....the 'create disc' section does not seem to accept an image for burning.
I just downloaded/installed Video Studio X4 Pro. Quite impressive. I've been using Roxio but too many problems so wanted to see if Corel is better. Have a minor problem that I haven't been able to solve. Background: I have 16 individual videos of foreign "soap operas" (all approx 3.7gb). All videos are either mpeg2 or avi. I copied all of them with no problem. Then, I wanted to eliminate some useless things at the beginning and end of each one. I went into a video editing program and trimmed approx 5 secs from the beginning and end of each video. After the trimming, I saved the videos to my hard drive in the My Videos folder in the Libraries. Then, because of some difficulties with Roxio, I decided to try Corel.
When I import a video, click on Tools, Create Disc, DVD, unmark Menu, then Burn, I always get the error telling me the total size is larger than the chosen project. This is what I don't understand. If the video, which is approx. 3.7gb,and I'm using a 4.7gb dvd, why am I getting this error? FYI: I went ahead and clicked on Yes, try to fit to disc, and after approximately 45 mins, it completed, ejected the disc and all I had was approx. 1/8" burn area. The properties of that disc showed it was a video.ts and when I clicked on it, the windows player opened and said can't be rendered. I don't under stand why X$ Pro says a 3.7gb video is over 7gb.
How to setup the burning speed for DVD using the Videostudio x4??? My setup menu for adjusting the speed recording wont highlight.. I've try to reinstall the software many times, but i wont get it done.
I have rendered the AVCHD video files (Full HD video) in Video Studio Ultimate X5, and under the "Share | Create Disc" option I created the files to Folder instead of burning directly to Disc as I wanted to save the "Folder" for future Blu-Ray disc burning if needed.
The question is, after the files are created in Folder what is the proper procedure to burn the "Folder" onto a Blu-Ray disc so that the disc will be playable in a Blu-Ray player?
Problems in selecting the DVD recording speed in VideoStudio pro X4? I prefer to use a fairly low rate, but the selection is greyed out in my Create DVD window and it seems to be set permanently on maximum. I've tried a program re-install but it hasn't worked at all.
I recently created a dvd which includes 'chapters'. I 'create Video' (DVD) file then 'create disk' to DVD folders on hard disk and then use Ashampoo to burn to DVD.
My 'Create Disk' has two menus, the top menu for the 'only' Video file and then the next menu which includes 2 chapters. When I do a 'Preview' BOTH menus appear (I click on the small window of the top which shows 30 seconds of the video file and then the second menu appears with my 2 'chapters which also have small windows displaying 30 seconds of the relevant part of the video file).
ALSO in the 'currently displayed menu I have 3 menus in the drop down - 'Main Menu', '2012 trip', and Main Menu: Note Menu (where this came from). So it all looks good as I expect. HOWEVER the resulting DVD NEVER displayed the second menu.
I have used VideoStudio for many years. I am currently using VideoStudio Pro X2 and I am trying to burn a film I have just put together on a DVD. I have got to the Preview stage which works perfectly and then I am told to click on "Next" but all I am offered is a "Back" button. The instructions say that I should click on "Show more output options" but that is not there.
I have created two projects within Video Studio X3, which I want to put on one disc as separate programs, so they can be viewed individually (they are the same subject but covering different time spans) how do I achieve this ?
Have burned several projects with X4 and this is the first time I have come across the unspecified error during the burning process.
Empty time line Create Disk DVD Add VS Project Project Settings Do not convert (check) Treat MPEG audio as non-DVD compliant (check) Auto repeat when disk playback ends (check) Upper field First No motion menu No music track Recording Format: DVD Video Create to disk (check)
Normalize audio (have done it checked and unchecked and still have the error.
I downloaded yesterday the trial version of Corel X5 pro. The program looks great and I made a photo and videocompilation of 8 minutes with background music and slides. Here's the problem. When I want to burn DVD, the program starts, but after 10 minutes i see 99% on the 2nd level and the program jams. It happens everytime when I want to burn of make a video on my harddisk. I am seriously looking for a decent program where i can make nice photo and video slides, but Corel doesn't useful. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and my burner works fine. Only with Corel, like i written before it jams and then i have to quit the program.
How to burn a Blu-ray with a popup menu (i.e. a menu that can be accessed without interrupting the playing of a Blu-ray)? I have no problem making Blu-rays but can't seem to find any information on how to get this to work (the promotional material from Corel says it can be done).
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps Upper Field First (DVD-NTSC), 4:3 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) Audio data rate: 256 kbps Dolby Digital Audio. 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)
I realize that I have a red area over the size limit for 8.5GB disk, but I've burned single layer disks with slightly higher size and the program compresses it to fit. But with this dual layer project, the burn process goes up to 97% and freezes. I've also only created and ISO file of the project, but, using ImageBurn, I find that the ISO file doesn't have the proper configuration to split the layers correctly. It tells me: "Optimal L1 Data Zone Start LBA: None Found! (VTS_01) This image has not been mastered correctly for burning onto a double layer (OTP Track Path) disc. None of the cells meet the 'DVD-Video specification' criteria for a potential layer break position."
Is there something I'm supposed to do first? Is there a step or two that I'm missing? Or does VSX2 have a problem burning DL DVDs?
I also realize that VSX2 was not designed for Windows 7, but I figured the ProPatch and Windows 7 updates were supposed to make VSX2 work on Windows 7.
How do you burn a movie to a dvd disc? I created my movie, then clicked share tab. DVD factory 2010 opened up and I created my menu. After 3 hours of converting file the burn said failed with no explaination. So I then made a file of the movie. Opened vs3 again and tried to burn the saved file which was an mpg format to disc. The program doesn't recognize mpg files only vsp files. The program made the mpg file. So how do I burn the mpg file to disc?
I have just installed VSx4. I successfully made a project, and saved it, but when I go to the 'Share' stage, I cannot burn a DVD. All the steps complete, including preview, but when I click Burn the screen freezes at commencement, showing 3% complete and 'converting title'. Only the Cancel button appears active, but clicking on it yields no result. I noted that the DVD writer line on the menu, despite showing correct information, appeared greyed out. To exit the program and abort, I have to use Windows Task manager, which then tells me the program is waiting for a response from me - but there is no menu or screen I can find of this nature. I have to force closure with Task Manager.
