Hi,
Your 'lappy' isn't powerful enough for video editing....
If you post a Dxdiag file I am sure some of the more experienced users will confirm it.

Hi Jim
thanks for the reply
ive not had problems before and 90% of the video burnt perfectly so im not sure its all down to my lappy.

will be getting a new lappy within the next 3 months which at the moment is the fastest in the world so should have no problems then.

might be a silly question but how do i copy the dxdiag file DOH! dont worry found it.

Jim

Have you tried "burning" to a folder?

It sounds like you might be getting some kind of under-run problem (when the software can't push data to the drive fast enough). Burning to a folder should eliminate that possibility. Jerry Schwartz

Nothing wrong running 32 bit..... I had 32 bit and only 3gig RAM on this machine before I went to 64 bit on this same machine.

Yep, burn to a folder (option under burn to disk in burn window) uncheck burn to disk and render it, use your favorite media player to view it and see if it still does it. THEN use your favorite DVD burner to burn it and see what happens. I NEVER use PD to burn any of my DVD's.... (its just me, as my PD burns with no problems but the only menu I use is not in PD)

Try slowing down your burn, try different brand DVD's, try another burner if you have one installed/attached... I have 4 dual layer burners. Two internal, and two USB........ to many people give up too easy without trying the multitude of "other" ways/options to get things done. Not only with PD but any software. There is always a way....

Some people in here have scorned the idea of using 3rd party software in conjunction with PD as PD is supposed to "do it all". I say BUNK... when other options work better/faster/easier why not use them. I guess they would rather sit around and whine about PD not getting their project done rather than getting their project "done"....

As far as the argument that we "pay for the features" and they don't work. Yep they are right. But don't lose any sleep over it. Cyberlinks MO is...... worked in old version, don't work in new version, new options don't work, good options in old version left out in new version. That's the way it is..... next slide....

thanks for the advice guys.
i will try burning to a folder tonight and also try my external sony burner that i forgot i had.

finally got it to work.
burnt as mpeg4 which took 2 hours rendering and burning for a 50 minute video but it worked fine with no frozen clips.

2 ikkle problems though.
hard drive temperature got upto 63c as while burning with cyberlink the fans dont kick in to full speed like they do while gaming and just run on normal.
its the same with a virus scan or defrag and theres no option to overide fans.

other problem is the finished video is set to 16.9 but is too wide on tv so i lose about 4" either side of the screen.
ive tried all the various setting on my new sony 3d tv but with no joy. it shows fine in the preview window though.

not worried about the temps as buying a new clevo lappy within the next month which i think will be overkill on speed but im greedy and it will be future proof.

thanks once again for all the above advice.

Hi Mr DJ,
The fan kick in is ( i believe) set by the cmos settings) you have to setup how they kick in from there I believe.
How it is accomplished is up to the motherboard and cpu manufacturer.

p.s. This is not recommended by me and I don't recommend if not familiar with changing cmos! Intel i7-2600@3.4Gz Geforce 560ti-1GB Graphic accelerator, windows 7 Premium 12GB memory

thanks Jim
i dont think its possible on this 4 year old m860tu via the cmos or bios as its been tried.
the latest clevo's have shortcut of Fn + F1 keys to put fans on full speed.

cheers
Jim
