DVD Burning only 60Min. of story board

Post by Ilanchu »

Can anyone help? I have a 78 Minute project in story board. According to Arabesk, this will fill 78% of Disc's space. Disc. burning goes well up to the 60Minute mark and then it inverts to begining of story board and burns another 18 minutes of begining scenes. It's probably some settings I couldn't find. Anybody has an idea? Thank You.

The percentage is not fact, but estimate to begin with.

Capacity is a slippery eel and depends on the contents involved.

While it exhibits the actions on playback of it having burned short of the entire Project and have burned the beginning over again I don't believe that is what actually has happened as I experienced this once myself.

I think what you are experiencing is a glitch of an improper finalizing that occurs occasionally when you are burning over the capacity and the system malfunctions.

I assume you have your quality setting at High and audio as uncompressed.

I'd try lowering either the video or audio a step and see if the system burns the DVD correctly.

Thank you Tim. I reduced video quality one notch and 'used capacity' on disc went down from 78% to 49%. You were right. 78 Minutes project was now fully burned unto DVD. This is still a mystery to me though because at the higher setting, I still had 78 minutes on the DVD only that after the first 60 minutes it jumped back to begining and burned the remaining 18 minutes of scenes that were in the front of the story board. Would the fact that this was "Trailer Only" have anything to do with it? Would any other setting have an affect on this? (and visually I can see still unburned space on disc even at the higher setting, so disc space does not seem to be the problem?...)

I don't think so, sounds like you ran into a glitch or your Arabesk partition is corrupted.

You might want to do a full, destructive install the next time it is of least inconvenience to play safe.

Although your percentages seem relatively low to cause an issue you can get this if you are on the limit of capacity.

I don't think it writes the first part again but merely (sic) plays the first 'chapter' again.

You might try just deleting Arabesk and re-installing as a test or even adding a smaller (2 minute) film and then just delete that and add your original again . . .
