1. Re: Premier Elements 11 - "no burner detected"
Steve Grisetti Jan 12, 2013 8:02 AM (in response to BriRonS)This is a pretty common problem in Windows. Windows programs sometimes monopolize the disc drive and refuse to share it with other programs. Though in your case it's even stranger because your old version of Premiere Elements did detect a burner!
Meantime, have you manually gone to Windows Update and downloaded the non-critical updates, which don't install automatically and often include important drivers and patches?
And, if that doesn't help, you can use the two-step method:
1) Use Publish & Share/Disc/DVD with the option to Burn to Folder selected.
2) Use a program like ImgBurn (free) to burn the VIDEO_TS folder Premiere Elements creates to a disc.
There are a number of advantages for using this method. It takes no more time than the one-step method, and many people (including me) prefer to do it this way anyway.

As Steve points out, there are several possible causes for the "No Burner Found" error message. This article covers several of them: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3127429#3127429

3. Re: Premier Elements 11 - "no burner detected"
BriRonS Jan 14, 2013 11:27 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)Thanks to both Bill and Steve for your replies. Apart from Windows explorer I don't have any other DVD burner software on the computer. I have downloaded and installed some non-critical updates, including the most recent driver for the graphics card, but it has not resolved the problem.
I tried burning to a folder and then burned from the folder to a DVD using Windows explorer but the disc will only play on my computer and refuses to play on any of my DVD players. I have a friend who had the same problem with a disc burned using Pinnacle and he thinks this is probably something to do with Windows 7.
I also happen to have Elements 11 installed on my desk top PC which is also running on Windows 7, with explorer the DVD burner, and here I have no problem in burning a project to DVD directly from Elements. (Until recently I used the desk top for all my video editing but it won't handle HD very well so I'm using the lap top for any HD editing)
I'd prefer to be able to burn directly from Elements on the lap tp but I guess if I can't fix the problem I'll have to opt for another burner, so thanks for the information re Imgburn. I'll let you know how I get on.
Your help is very much appreciated

Steve Grisetti Jan 14, 2013 11:30 AM (in response to BriRonS)The reason the disc won't play in your DVD player isn't likely related to your software. It's nearly always a hardware or, more likely, an issues with the disc itself.
Have you tried what we suggested yet and downloaded ImgBurn, selected the option to Burn a Folder and then used it to burn to a DVD the VIDEO_TS folder that Premiere Elements created?
We can't really help you unless you try our suggestions.

I haven't tried the ImgBurn program as yet but will give it a go and let you know how I get on.

BriRonS Jan 31, 2013 6:04 AM (in response to BriRonS)Sorry for being slow to respond but I downloaded Imgburn, successfully used it to burn to DVD from the video_TS folder created by PE11 and the DVD plays ok. Thanks again for your valuable help.
I would still prefer to burn to disc directly from Premier as it is supposed to do, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get this to work.

John T Smith Jan 31, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to BriRonS)This is my personal choice, but I never burn directly to disc... I always write to hard drive and then use Imgburn
Imgburn gives me MUCH more control over the burning process... I always burn at the slowest speed the media will allow (to give the laser beam more time to make "well formed" holes in the dye layer) and I have never had any playback problems
