Hello Everyone!

I have a strange recurrence when I burn a Blu-Ray disc. PD9 works fine for me, and I imported some .m2ts files from Adobe Premiere Elements 7 for a Blu-Ray disc I wanted to burn with some menus. The first time or two that I burned a Blu-Ray, everything was fine. But for the past 10 or so burns, PD9 crashes when the burn is complete. The discs are finished, and work fine in any Blu-Ray player, but it is a pain to have to reboot my computer everytime I burn a Blu-Ray.

To be a little more specific: When the disc is finished burning, a pop-up window tells me that the burning is complete. I click on OK and it goes away. I can then eject the disc; everything is still ok. Now I have the information window that tells me the progress of the burn. It accurately shows that the burn has reached 100% and gives the time of the burn. At the bottom of the window is the option to Cancel, which is the only option to eliminate the window. If I click on Cancel, the window visually shifts about 2 or 3 mm to the right, and the whole application hangs [complete with a "Leave-me-alone-I-am-thinking circle".] A second click brings up the "Program is unresponsive" pop-up from Windows. I can still operate my computer, but am even unable to shut down PD9 with Windows Task Manager. If I try to manually shut down my computer, it hangs attempting to shut down the un-responsive PD9. No matter what I try, I have to do a hard shut down.

Here are some computer specs:
I have an ATI Radeon 5800 Series graphics card with 1 GB dedicated mem
Over 600GB of free HDD space on a 1TB HDD
6GB of DDR3 RAM
2.8 GHz Core i7
EDIT: Windows7 Home Premium 64-bit

EDIT: Of course I would forget to include what version of PD I have: PowerDirector 9.0.0.2316 Ultra64

Here is some info on the project and burn settings:
10 HD videos with Menus
Files are .m2ts or .m2t
Burning direct to Blu-Ray
Video: MPEG-2 Quality: HD 1080 x 1920
Sound: Dolby Digital 5.1 Channels
File size approx: 7289 MB

In Preferences, I have unchecked both boxes under "Hardware Acceleration" and under "Produce" I have checked 'Reduce Blocky Artifacts' and 'Allow SVRT...'

The Discs look good. I guess I am glad it is happening post-production rather than before it completes, otherwise I would be extremely frustrated. The MPEG-2 gives me the least amount of blockiness during playback.

Oh yeah, one other thing. If I tell the program to shut down my computer after burning, it will shut down my computer, but then when I start-up, windows hangs on reboot. It still requires a Hard Shut-down. Strange.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm off to burn another disc, so I'll check back after reboot.

Thanks!
