Hi. I would just like to reiterate what Carl and Cap'n Kevin have already mentioned about finding the offending portion or clip that is causing rendering problems. Many folks, myself included, have been using PD versions with great success. Yes, there are bugs, but workarounds can be found most times.

I had occasion to work on some horrible converted VHS footage last week, originally recorded in EP (6-hour) mode. There was a lot of video noise and PD10 was not happy with that. It would hang - always on the occasional fade transition. Remove transition, and the rendering would continue to the end or until it found another fade transition it didn't like. On one DVD, I had to remove about six different fade transitions to render the entire project, but it was happy with the other 30 or so transitions, some fade, some cross, and some others.

I have encountered similar problems with other DVDs I was producing and it was always resolved by dealing with the offending portion of the timeline. It was clear to me that PD was having problems with poor quality or otherwise deficient clips. In my experience, PD10 does work as advertised.

There are many other possibilities that could explain the problem you are encountering, but, as stated, you need to help us, help you, by supplying the requested information. None of us work for Cyberlink - we are just editors like you. We do want to help, so please help us, help you.

Have a great day.
