PE2 Data Rate too high

I am trying to burn a 15 minute video straight to the DVD. During the burning process (after rendering for about 10 hours) I got the following message: ''The data rate of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. -PGC Info: name=, ref=Apgc, time= 00:07:44:23''

I successfully burned the same project a week ago; my only changes were adding some transitions and a few stills.

My project is video (most converted from VHS), music (ripped from CD or itunes), Audio (narrative recorded at home) and stills (almost all reduced to ~300Kb).

I am in the middle now of trying to burn to a file, but the error spooks me.

Any thoughts
PE2 Data Rate too high
How are you burning it? Are you just using the standard DVD settings in Premiere Elements?



Also, do you get the same code if you burn to a folder on your hard drive instead of directly to a disc? Some cheaper media (Memorex discs, for instance) can cause these kinds of errors.
PE2 Data Rate too high
Ned,



Some place, you have set the Data-rate above the DVD-spec. of 10 MB/s for ALL Assets, or have spikes above that. Now, since this is for all streams, Audio + Video, something below 8 works best. Then, if there is a momentary spike, it falls below the threshold of 10. In your Export settings, this has been set to high, either by you, or the program. PE is pretty smart about spikes, but can get fooled by the Assets, sometimes.



Check your output settings. I find that a setting of ~7 max. is better for player compatibility, though PE does allow one to go to 8 max.

Where do I find the Export Settngs?

Go to Share tab, select file format and click on Advanced button.

From Video tab, change the bitrate.
