DVD Moviefactory 7 - Data buffer Underrun

[danosir]

I have a Sony Optiarc BD RW 5300s blu ray burner which is supposed to have 8 mb cache and buffer underrun error protection. I can burn a 2x RW in MF7 but am getting the buffer underrun error message when I try a BD-r 4x disc (which is supposed to be supported by the Optiarc). I cannot check the buffer underrun box because it is greyed out.

Any suggestions?

I too am having the same issues in burning a DVD. Whenever I try to burn more than 1 copy Movie Factory 7 gives me a "Data Buffer Underrun" error.
Today, I tried it again, same error. Here is what I was trying to do:
The MPG file size is 3, 512,145 KB or 3.5 gig.
No Menu
DISC BURNER:
Drive D: TSST corp CDDVDW SH-S223F SB02
Copies: 1
Disc Type: DVD-R
Checked - Create to Disc Recording Format: DVD-Video
unchecked - Create DVD Folders:
unchecked - Create Disk Image:
unchecked - Normalize Audio:
unchecked - Archive Images of Slideshow:
unchecked - Power Off PC when completed:
Burn 3 copies
The program ran for over 1 hour before the error occurred. Lost another blank DVD. Now have 10 unusable DVDs.

Tried it again, but this time requested only 1 DVD to be made.
After about 12 minutes the DVD was finished.

So then tried to make to other two DVDs I needed in the Copy Disc selection of "BURN".
Read Speed: MAX
Write Speed: MAX
Copies: 2
Checked - On-the-Fly
Unchecked - Test before burning
checked - Buffer underrun protection
This time the Destination DVD Burner was in the <H:> DVDRW USB 16X A089 burner.
It too failed and wasted another DVD.

Tried just making 1 copy, it worked.

Please help.

After trying it again and wasting 3 DVDs, went back to Movie Factory 6 (MF6) and a different DVD burner, externally connected.

I needed three DVDs to be made, but decided to just made 1 DVD first w/MF6 and the other DVD burner. IT WORKED.

Save the project and closed. Started a new session and selected 'Open Existing Project', then selected the option to burn 2 DVDs. Crossed my fingers and all went well. BTW, it only took about 30 minutes to burn all 3 DVDs.

Now will try using MF6 software and the old internal DVD burner and see what happens, this will have to be a project for tomorrow though. As I have been at this for nearly 4 hours.

I will post the outcome.

Well, I tried using MF7 software and the external DVD burner, it went great, made the DVD in a very short period of time, approximately 8 minutes and the file video file was a mpeg-2 at 3.1 GB in size.

Then tried the same file with the MF7 software on the internal DVD burner to see what would happen again. Yes, it failed, right now it has been trying to burn the video for over 28 minutes and still going. It appears the DVD burner has gone bad.

Hopes this process will be used by others in eliminating where the issues lies, software, DVD, or the DVD burner.

Thanks
