davegee Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 More details for these good people here please?Which version of PTE?How big is the file?What Audio file are you using?etcYou can try a couple of things:Just create the MPEG2 file on your HDD (untick the Burn DVD disc) and if successful you will know where your problem lies. The MPEG2 file should open in Windows Media Player / Quick Time or similar.Create the ISO file on your HDD (untick the Burn DVD disc) and if successful use whatever DVD authoring software you have to burn the ISO file. I use ROXIO 8/9 and that burns ISO files with no problems. In ROXIO you just double click on the ISO and Burn DVD opens automatically.Have you tried (in v5.6) creating HD video for PC and Mac? This will put an MPEG4 file on your HDD which you will be able to play with Quick Time etc.Find out how far you can go WITHOUT wasting DVDs.If you can't create the MPEG2 file, the ISO file or the MPEG4 report back with more detail.Also if any/all of the above suggestions are succsessful and you still can't burn the DVD come back with more details of your system.DaveG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
