When using the laptop are you trying to write to the laptop's own disk or to an external FAT32 disk. My files are never that long so it writes perfectly to DVD without such difficulties. You need to create the output to disk first and get the other program to write that to the Blu-Ray as opposed to writing directly to Blu-Ray from Power Director. No Ray, the PDs file is Power Director's proprietory file. Tony.I presume I just ask the other program to burn the power director PDS file? I am going to try with another program and see what happens.thanks for the heads up.really appreciated. Hi Tony.LOOKS LIKED YOU NAILED IT.as so often. that was probably FAT32 not FAR32 in your OP. This might point you in the right direction. But ImgBurn had no difficulty at all burning the exact same rendering. PowerDirector complained that the disk was incompatible. I was able to burn a rewritable Blu-ray disk with ImgBurn, but not from within PowerDirector. This is a great program I've used for years. I finally had to download a free disk build and burn program called ImgBurn. This is where most all the video editors fail. However the real challenge is when it comes time to burn a DVD or Blu-ray disk.

Ray, have not burnt videos of such size with my PD11 but read this in a review of it. In short, any help please would be appreciated. It seems that I cannot burn a file this size as my hard drives are not FAR 32. I tried to burn to 16gb usb and got same message. Movie is 13.3 gb and hard drive had about 400gb on it and it suggests too big. I tried to burn the movie to Hard Drive but it will not let me do this either. Should there be software in laptop (Windows 7) for blu ray burning? (I assumed Power Director would do that as it says, burn to blu ray etc)

Is it a compatibility issue between the external burner and the laptop? Just checked the disks and burnt some data using one of those not supported when using the laptop, and the data burnt fine. I therefore tried another make of blu ray disk same message. I have just made a long video on my laptop (Dell, Intel i7, quad core, 8gb ram) using Power Director.Ĭame to burn it out and got the message "this disk type not supported". There is no software with it and it works ok on my main PC. I have a Panasonic Slim External Blu-ray BD-RE Burner Player Writer DVD RW UJ-240.
