2.CREATE DISC CONTENT FIRST: Create the disc content first and then burn the disc as a separate step. To begin, select the "Create disc content but don't burn" in the Make Disc settings. If this process completes, it is a burn problem and not a render problem. Once the disc image is created, in a second step select "Burn from previously created disc content" in the Make Disc option. Studio will prompt you to browse to the disc image folder that you already created and begin to burn. If it still fails, continue to Step 5.
3.RESTART THE COMPUTER: Try opening the door of the DVD burner. If it won't open, then shut down Studio, then restart the computer. Launch Studio and try to create the DVD again using the safe mode setting.
4.MEDIA:
o BLANK MEDIA IN THE DRIVE: Make sure that there blank, write-once media or rewriteable media in the DVD burner.
o TYPE OF DVD: Make sure that your DVD burner supports the media you use. As for any problem with burning a DVD, we recommend customer use rewriteable media to reduce the number of wasted DVDs when they have to troubleshoot a failure while burning DVDs. In this case, if you have only used rewriteable media, (RW) we would also recommend trying to use a write once (-/+ R) DVD and erasing the RW media.
o BRAND OF DVD: Pinnacle recommends using a name brand of DVD, i.e. Sony, Apple, Memorex, etc. We recommend trying a DVD from a different manufacturer to see if the problem is related to the brand of DVD that is being used.
