  • Problem burning DVDs. "Error in device - device target is not suitable for use.

    Hi all

    Initially, I had many problems with PE8. However, the update of nVidia Driver resolved most of them.

    Just thought it was important to note the success, but also failure!

    However, one problem remains. I get the following error at the level of the mark of 96% when burning. "Error in device - device target is not suitable for use. It is always the mark of 96% and the program is "[something] compilation" when this happens.

    After searching this site I noticed that the user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago has been redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.

    I tried to burn a clip 1 hour 4 times and each time I chose the slowest burning speed (8 MB/s), as suggested. It seems that the lower support is a culprit, so I bought some Verbatim DVD media - R [quality] try in my optical drive SATA Phillips. I'm skeptical it will work, but nevertheless open-minded. I'll give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing VHS, I train.

    Whenever combustion not not the disc was ejected automatically and the burn process actually started and progresses maybe about 40% or more.

    That tells me it's a question of sharing, rather than issue a support. Somewhere on this forum, he suggested that I go through a process of 20 stages and remove/disable each piece of software that can compete with the first, among other things. IF I do this what do I burn through the outside of Adobe? What I need imgburn or whatever it was called? What happens if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked very well for me for 3 years.

    So I am ready to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommend commercial software which, for them, creates a painless Adobe burning experience without errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I've not seen on this forum?

    I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my cards SLI GeForce 7600 GS. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2 GB RAM, Athlon X 2 5400.

    Justin.

    Since you are apparently able to burn to a folder on your hard drive, but not directly on a DVD, the problem is most likely that another program (Nero, for example) is interfering with communications between Premiere Elements and your DVD burner. This is very common.

    Rather than fight with it, the easiest solution is simply to burn your files on your hard drive and then use Nero (or whatever your burner program) to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a playable disc. This process takes no more time and offers a number of advantages, including the fact that he make several copies of your DVDs very easy.

  • What type of certificates are not suitable for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    It is not clear to me, of the literature exactly what types of certificate are not suitable for the signature of the CC2014 HTML5 extensions.

    I used a Thawte 'Adobe Air' certificate for signing extensions based on Flash. It is now expired. Can I buy the same type and that will work cross-platform for the signature of the extensions to HTML5?

    See http://www.thawte.com/code-signing/content-signing-certificates/adobe-air/index.html

    Thank you

    Hi meeky2,

    Required certificates have not changed for HTML5 extensions, so the same type of certificate that you had before work ('Adobe Air' certificates are very good).

    Note that if you only distribute your HTML5 extension through modules Adobe / Adobe Exchange, then there is no need to use a paid certificate. If you distribute your extension elsewhere, then you should do the same thing as you did with the extensions of the AIR.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Windows, update hardware part 3 drivers normally are way behind

    the way to get windows updates

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    When you see the problem update just right-click on it and hide it

    Next, install your correct driver
