2. Defragment your hard drive.
3. Ensure that you have ample storage – preferably
tens of gigabytes – on the hard drive you use for
video. Rendering may use large amounts of storage,
and can be disrupted if space is insufficient.
4. If you have a separate capture drive, make sure to
move the auxiliary files folder to that drive.
5. Copy the section where the render stops and put it
into a new project. Include 15 to 30 seconds on
either side of the error. Try rendering this excerpt to
an AVI file and, if successful, use the file to replace
the offending section of the original project.
6. Render the entire project to an AVI file, then create
a new project and import the file. If you are making
a disc, you will need to add your chapter marks and
menus to the new project. This workaround works
best with NTFS partitions to avoid the 4 GB file
limit in FAT32 partitions (allowing only 18 minutes
of DV video).
CD or DVD burner is not detected
Answer ID 1593
If Studio cannot locate your disc burner when you want
to create your disc project, you should get the error
message, “No disc writer device found!” It may be
either Studio or Windows that is failing to recognize
the drive. If it occurs following the installation of a
patch to Studio, it is likely that the patching process did
not work correctly; in that case, uninstall, reinstall and
update Studio as described in item 2 below.
