Burner malfunctioning with Adobe Premiere?

Hey, I recently finished editing a student project with Adobe Premiere 7.0 and aam trying to burn it to a disc. I burned one early version of it no problem like two weeks ago, but now when I try to burn the finished version it freezes up and will not finish or even start burning the file to the disc. It transcodes it fine, but won't burn. Also, I notice that my burner is acting funny when I put blank media into the drive, it switches the identity of the drive from DVD-RW drive to CD Drive. And it doesn't pop up the blank DVD option window anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled Nero, and I can now burn DVD's through Nero if I just use that program, but the Adobe Premiere program still won't work. I am confused as hell and have tried everything I can think of. I know I am low on disc space, but the drive I am burning from still has about 15 Gigs left free, so that can't be the problem can it? Anyone with any experience in this field, please give me some advice.

I am running:
AMD 64 3500+
Asus SLI Deluxe mobo
160 Gb SATA drive (C drive, 15 Gig free)
160 Gb IDE drive (D drive, 750 mb free, Adobe is a space hog)
PCI express Nvidia 6600 video card

DVD burner is a Pioneer DVR-108 16x DL drive
also a cd burner TDK 52x

 

If you've already created the actual vob's with Premeire, download DVDShrink and open the movie you created in there. Let it analyze, then burn it. Shrink utilizes Nero as the burning engine. Sounds like you may have made your movie too big for premiere to fit it all onto one disk, whereas shrink will compress to fit it all on one disk. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the advice, in actuality, I think it is the fact that Premiere uses so much space for any operation. How ever much it needs to do something, it uses double the space on the hard drive to accomplish it, then deletes the backup file after it completes. I simply ran out of room on my hard drive to allow it to do this. So, I ended up encoding it straight to my hard drive as an mpeg file, then used Nero to burn it to disc. At least I was able to finish my project in time!
