Attempting to create ISO file of a large project (over 3 hours): SD 480, ISO Image 8.5 GB, Fit Contents to available space checked.

The source file is a single MP4 file, unedited.

I have searched the community for "transcoding" topics, but none seem to apply to my problem.  Suggestions?

As a troubleshooting step, make a copy of your project file and cut it down to 30 minutes. Are you able to create a 30 minute DVD ISO?

Followed your suggestion: SD 480, ISO Image 4.7 GB, Fit Contents to available space checked. The source file is a single MP4 file, reduced to approx. 30 minutes length. Prior to attempting the burn, I deleted all media cache files.

Encoding ended with transcoding error at 52% - see attached.  Suggestions?

Source of the MP4 is YouTube - downloaded via youtube_downloader_hd.exe.

PrE 2020 Render freezes at 7% - see attached PRE_Render1.jpg & PRE_Render2.jpg.

MediaInfo - see attached MediaInfo_PrimalEarth.txt


Your YouTube downloader likely created a video that doesn't digest well in a video editor like Premiere Elements.

 

Try converting the file to a new MP4 using HandBrake and the instructions in my tutorial. Replace your video on the timeline with this new MP4 and (unless there are other issues going on with your system) you should have no problems.

 

Though try to keep any DVD projects under 30 minutes. You're not going to be able to create a 3 hour DVD with Premiere Elements.
