I am using a sony dv camcorder. It has firewire and usb capabilities. I can capture video from it to studio 8 software. When I try to burn a dvd disk the software locks up at the end of the burning process. The message reads status-disc burning completed. waiting for background formatting to finish. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thanks
Try to export the file and use different burning software for DVD. This way you at least find if the problem is with Studio or with your OS/DVD drive.
I have encountered this same exact problem within the last few days. I have found a work-around. Just cancel the burn by clicking on the pink button. The button turns green and is now clickable to start another burn/render session. Click it. Rendering is all done and the DVD will burn quickly and eject itself. I suspect that the solution is to re-install the software since this problem only materialized within the last few days for me.
It is a studio problem. I got rid of Studio and went with adobe premiere and I am so glad I did. What a big difference.
If you're so inclined... You should use a video editing proggy for editing your DV file, use a dedicated encoder (TMPGEnc, Mainconcept, ProCoder, CCE, whatever) to encode it to VCD/SVCD/DVD, and a dedicated DVD authoring proggy (for menus, complicated file structures), and a separate burning proggy. You'll get much better results that way.
