DVD burner not recognised

**royhuntington** · 01-12-2012, 11:48 AM

Hi, I am new on this so hope I'm doing this right. I have a Panasonic TM900 which so far seems an excellent camera I am using Movie Studio 11 Platinum for editing. My problem is I can't burn to DVD as my burner is not recognized. I used to burn DVD's using Ulead Video Studio but but VS is hopeless at editing HD. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Cheers, Roy

Does Windows recognise your burner ?

Thanks for the swift reply. Yes it does and seems ok with other software. Was wondering if it didn't see the burner because maybe I was trying to burn the wrong file type.

I don't see why Vegas doesn't see your burner if Windows does. When you say the wrong file type doesn't Vegas take what's on the time line and automatically convert it to mpeg2/vob files.

That's what I would have thought but I am very new to Vegas, its quite a learning curve after VS. Thanks for your interest I will persevere and get back if I have any luck. Roy

The only thing I can think is that your selecting to burn a Bluray but you only have a DVD burner. Apart from that I'm stumped.

SUCCESS!! I think I have sorted it. Thanks to advise on forums, in movie studio I went into options - preferences - CD settings and ticked 'Skip drive database; auto detect drive capabilities on startup' and also ticked 'Use legacy drivers'. This solved the problem in Movie Studio but had to do similar in DVD Architecture. In DVDA I went into options- preferences- Burning- and ticked 'Use legacy drivers'. All seems ok now will see how I get on. Thanks again. Roy
