Hello, I am trying to burn my current project to a 8.5 GB Dvd. For some reason under the create disk tab the "burn to disk option" is grayed out and I can not select it. My only option is to burn to folder. How do I burn directly to a disk from PD9? I have searched the forums and havent found anyone with the same problem. I would rather not have to use another program to burn my project. Please help.

Brand new Veloity Micro computer
I7 processor
windows 7
8 GB memory
nvidia gtx275 card

Thanks in advance !! Thanks

Did PowerDirector 9 come preinstalled on your new computer, some OEM versions may not have that option available

No i purchased PD9. I have no idea why the burn to disk option is grayed out. I can use IMGBURN, a free DVD burning program, with no problem so I know its not my DVD drive. Thanks

I know it isn't what you want to hear but what you are doing is probably preferable.

Two reasons.
1. PD9 isn't particularly good at estimating disc size so burning to folder is quite a good intermediate step.
2. PD9 can be a bit flakey in burning discs and Imgburn can also verify the data.

Thanks for the help guys. I download IMGBURN, a free burning utility. I can now burn to disk in PD and use IMGBURN to make my DVD's. Thanks
