So yesterday a friend who is a an amateur videographer said that even though he has a DVD burner, and even though Adobe Premier Elements has burnt DVD’s for him in the past… It is now saying that there is no DVD burner present with which to do the job.

After some troubleshooting, I decided that it was time to go online and see if anyone else was having the same problem. I found that they were. If you haveing this problem, do yourself a favor and visit this site: http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:Why_can%E2%80%99t_I_burn_a_DVD%3F.

Just to help you out here is the solution in a nutshell:

1) Open regedit.

2) Navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3) Go to the “LowerFilters” key

4) Add “PxHelp20″ and “PFC” to the list in lower filters. They should both be on separate lines and PxHelp20 should be at the very top of the list.

Hopefully that will get your friends wedding into her DVD player a bit sooner!

All the best,

Luke
