Hi:

I have some home movies made with Adobe Premier Elements 1.0 to burn
which are about an hour long and am having problems with burning. I
have been successful in burning short 20 minute movies. Once the movie
length gets close to an hour, burning stops in the middle and it
happens at the same stop all the time. I have a fairly decent PC, 3.2
GHZ Pentium 4 , 512 M RAM, Windows XP professinal service pack 2. I
have not been able to get much help Adobe site. Has any one encountered
such problem before? Hope you can share your ideas with me.


Thanks

disc burning in the past have had to do with my broadband router, USB hubs
and media. I solved the problems by turning off the router and the USB hubs
and using only SONY media. My burner is SONY. The procedure that seemed to
be most affected by the router and USB was transferring data from and to the
camcorder, but for safety's sake, I also turned them off when burning discs.
It may help. Look also for any automatic action that your CPU is programmed
to do. Disc burning is an intensive activity for your CPU and if anything
breaks in and disrupts the flow of data, that could be a problem. I'm not a
computer guru so please don't flame me if you think my comments are idiotic.
I'm only claiming that they solved my problem.

There is an extensive list of things to try on the Adobe web site at
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330725.html

I have a similar problem--I think Premiere simply runs out of memory
and/or disk space somewhere along the way, but there is no meaningful
error reporting. The DVD encoding part of this product is very
amateurish and the QA on it was obviously not done very thoroughly.
Premiere Elements 2.0 might or might not solve this--from what I read
it is even more resource hungry. One of the quick workarounds you might
try is to get a huge hard disk (maybe as second hard disk, or a
reliable external USB2.0 or firewire hard drive), move all your project
files to that hard disk, go in Edit/Preferences and change all the
scratch directories to be the same as the project. Also, rather than
burning to DVD, burn to a folder that is also on that huge hard disk.
Allow at least 40GB of empty space before you start.

Take a look at screen savers and power management as possible sources of
your troubles.
