Burning
If you are having difficulty burning your
production to disc, here are some common
trouble-shooting tips that might assist you:
• since burning discs consumes a lot of
computer resources, before burning,
try rebooting your computer to free
up memory.
• ensure all preexisting video editing
programs are completely uninstalled.
Uninstalled components can cause
conflicts and create issues during
burning.
• uninstall any freeware conversion
programs or codec packs, as they can
cause conflicts that result in burning
errors.
• try reducing the recording speed used
when burning the disc. Some studies
have shown that the best speed for
burning is 4X or 8X, especially for large
projects. To do this, when in the Final
Output window, click the
button and then select a speed in the
Recording speed drop-down.
Work Arounds
If none of the above suggestions help, try
one of the following work arounds
• try outputting your production as a
disc folder. To do this, in the Final
Output window, deselect the Burn to
disc option and then select the Create
a folder instead. Once the disc folder
is created, try using a third-party
burning software to burn the folder to
a disc.
• try outputting your production as a
video file in the Produce window.
Next, create a new project, insert the
produced file on the timeline, and
then try burning it to disc.
Note: you will need to re-insert any chapter
markers you created if you want to include
them on your final disc.
• ensure that your burning driver’s
firmware is up-to-date, and is capable
of burning similar video content
outside of CyberLink PowerDirector. If
it is not, we suggest contacting the
disc drive’s manufacturer for
assistance.
