Burning problems with PowerDirector 5

I'm trying to burn a video with problems like others. Although it is a large file, it's now on two hours and only at 31%. I've stopped all other programs running in the background and I have a defragged hard drive.

I want to use and like PowerDirector but it seems like there are too many drawbacks with Version 5.

I submitted a question to Cyberlink and received their answer yesterday. It was completely useless and didn't even relate to my question/problem.

I kinda wish I would have waited before upgrading to version 5. CompUSA has Adobe Photoshop Elements/Premier Elements bundle for $79, which is about what I paid for the upgrade.

I've been a PowerDirector user since version 3. It's improved since then but not sure how much I like it anymore. Think I might have to go back to version 4.

Oh well, enough venting...
