I am so damn disappointed. I have tried all day to burn a DVD using VideoStudio 11.5 Plus. The file I am trying to burn is an AVI file that I completed in Adobe Premiere CS3. I have the entire Adobe Master Collection but I have not learned Encore or I would use Encore to build my Menu¡¦s and Chapters.

A few days ago I had no problems burning my menus and chapters using VideoStudio 11.5. Now for whatever reason I select share Create Disc, I build the chapters and menus and begin the burn process and the system hangs at 3% on the title structure. I have tried re-downloading the software and installing on three different computers in my home ALL with the same results of hanging at 3%.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

Corrupted source file would be my guess.

And mine! What codec did you use for your AVI?

You might want to try the Suggested Workflow, which was designed for problems such as yours.

After your editing, go to Share>Create Video File to create a DVD-compatible MPEG-2 file (use one of the DVD templates). After that file is created start a new project to clear the timeline. Now, with nothing in the timeline go to Share>Create Disc and use Insert Media to insert your new MPEG-2 file for burning.

I did the work around and was able to burn the file. I saved the avi file
of which was 1.39 gigs to a MPEG-2 and reloaded the file and made new menus and chapters. Seems to work. Maybe the reason it worked before was the original file was a MPG that I was working on, when I was not getting the transitions I was after in VideoStudio I switched directions and used Adobe Premiere CS3. When I exported the file it was a huge AVI file... I do like the way the chapters and menus are built in VS but I do know that Adobe Encore I would have unlimited creativity in design and layout. I just need to learn the software. Thanks Everyone...

There are probably a lot of reasons why the designed workflow sometimes fails, but the work-around seems to solve most of them. Glad you got it working.
