Rod,

This is a pretty strange place to be getting an out of memory error. I would have expected it to occur during the encoding process (that's what takes the most memory). This test won't take much time to try and I'll admit it's a bit of a "Hail Mary pass" attempt at fixing it but I think that it's probably worth the effort (which really isn't much). This is modified from step 19 of the Adobe tech docTroubleshoot errors or freezes that occur when you burn DVDs (Adobe Premiere Pro 1.x). <http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/330130.html> It looks like Adobe has tried to make this bulletproof by having you delete these reg keys then forcing you to uninstall and reinstall. I'll share the trick to avioding the uninstall / reinstall steps. Here's step 19 from the tech doc:

---------
19. Refresh the DVD drivers list in the Windows registry.
Installation of other DVD- and CD-burning applications may alter the drivers list in the Windows registry. Refreshing this list may resolve problems accessing the DVD burner from Adobe Premiere Pro.

Disclaimer: The registry contains system-related information that is critical to your computer and applications. Before modifying the registry, be sure to make a backup copy of it. Adobe doesn't provide support for problems that arise from improperly modifying the registry. Adobe strongly recommends that you have experience editing system files before you modify the registry. For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.

To refresh the DVD drivers list in the Windows registry:
1.	Remove Adobe Premiere Pro.
2.	Choose Start > Run.
3.	Enter regedit in the Run box.
4.	Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} registry key.
5.	Choose File > Export, enter a name and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.
6.	In the right panel of the Registry Editor, select the LowerFilters line, and press Delete.
7.	Select the UpperFilters line, and press Delete.
8.	Close the Registry Editor.
9.	Restart Windows.
10.	Reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro.
11.	Restart Windows.

Note: If this solution doesn't resolve the problem, you can restore the DVD drivers list in the Windows registry by double-clicking the registry key you exported in step 5 and restarting Windows.

Here's my modified version:

To refresh the DVD engines list in the Windows registry:
1.	Choose Start > Run.
2.	Enter regedit in the Run box.
3.	Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} registry key.
4.	Choose File > Export, enter a name (e.g. DVD Original) and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.
5.	In the right panel of the Registry Editor, select the UpperFilters line, and press Delete.
6.	Select the LowerFilters line, and double-click it to edit the Multi-String values.
7.	Delete the entries in this box, EXCEPT for PxHelp20 and PFC. Make sure to also remove any extra lines in the Multi-String dialog box, but remember that PxHelp20 and PFC should remain on their own seperate lines.
8.	Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} registry key.
9.	Choose File > Export, enter a new name (e.g. DVD Edited) and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.
10.	Close the Registry Editor.
11.	Restart Windows.

So what you're doing here is removing the references to DVD/CD buring engines that Windows uses to determine what engines are available (info contained in the UpperFilters and LowerFilters lines). Windows parses this info on launch, so you need to restart the system to get it to recognize the changes. Once you've got the new/modified reg keys in place, try your project burn again in Premiere. If it fixes it, Yea! Have a beer. If you're still having no joy, you can double-click the first reg key you saved (DVD Original) to reinsert the original key back into the registry and then, of course, restart the system to put things back exactly as they were (so you are no worse off).

By removing the references to the other burning engines, you've disabled burning from the other DVD/CD authoring apps you've got installed. Double-clicking "DVD Original" and restarting the system enables them again. Double-clicking "DVD Edited" and restarting makes Premiere work again, and so on.

If this turns out to be a flop and it doesn't fix anything. You can always select "Burn to ISO Image" in PPro and use Sonic to make the disc (after re-enabling the reg keys again of course).

Let me know what happens.
