1. Re: Why does Encore thinks my dvd is already burn ?
Stan Jones Jun 7, 2012 5:57 PM (in response to karlito7817)Please post a screen shot of your build panel and of the error message.
What does Windows show on the disk?
Can you build to a folder rather than to a disk?

2. Re: Why does Encore thinks my dvd is already burn ?
John T Smith Jun 7, 2012 8:38 PM (in response to karlito7817)Some things to try...
As well as the below, right click the Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
.
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
.
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no DVD player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help
.
Use Taiyo Yuden single layer or Verbatim Two layer Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable Two layer

Bill Hunt Jun 8, 2012 10:40 AM (in response to karlito7817)Also, check to make sure that you have the latest firmware for your multi-drive/burner (this is the firmware, and not a driver). If there is newer firmware available, be sure to read, and fully understand the installation instructions 100%. I always print out the new instructions, to have available, though I do this fairly often. Sometimes, for a particular firmware update, little things can change, and those can be very important.
What brand of blank media are you using?
Good luck,
Hunt

karlito7817 Jun 8, 2012 1:25 PM (in response to karlito7817)I put all my files in another encore project and it worked. I could burn my dvd. But istill don't know why I couldn't burn it earlier. Maybe it's because I set the number of copies to 1 and that I tried to burn it a lot.

John T Smith Jun 8, 2012 2:02 PM (in response to karlito7817)If you want multiple copies, create an ISO and use Imgburn... you have MUCH better control over the burn process with Imgburn
Actually, I always create an ISO and use Imgburn
