Thank again much♥ karen

Hi Karen,

You can go directly from edit to create disk, you don't have to produce it first. Also yes you can insert an .avi file when in the create disk area.

Re-writeable DVD disks are a bonus when experimenting.

Cheers

Thank you so much Robert....I wonder just where my head was in this create. For some reason I had in my mind that if I just had one chapter I could produce & need not create. I had a title on the AVI so went ahead & put to disk! Oh well live & learn.......Many Thanks again♥ karen

Hi Karen,
If you have a lot of videos to Edit etc (add titles transitions) I find if quicker to produce small productions before committing to creat disk, then when all done as produce files then go to create disk and import each Production into final compilation, burn to folder to preview finished DVD before commiting to a DVD.

1st of all thanks to all for the great amount of assistance I am getting, you are all amazing. BUT, I still am not being able to get a disk burned out of this silly program. My mind is boggled but I have come down to the problem has to be the video as I have never worked with video before only still photos. I have considered a few things that may help in my getting some guidance. Number 1 when my son sent me the original video it was a VTS file (raw) with numerous files for both video & audio. The film had been captured form a Canon DVD camera. I wanted to view it at that time on my PC so I converted it into a Mpeg4. This is the file I pulled into my director before making clips of it & adding other stills & music. Could this be a problem??? When I rt click on the video clip in my edit in file it says Mpeg4 1280x720..Video type is H.264 AVC 1280x720..16:9. I have taken the first advice now & in create burned it in DVD, it did not work on my player. Then thinking of the video being AVC I tried & burned it in AVCHD, this did not work either. Since I had already produced my video in .AVI I just went to create & imported it in. My preference was to use no menu since I have a title page & only am burning the one video. The .AVI was originally 7.28 GB & yet in both DVD & AVCHD the size got much smaller to render out in the end but as I say neither worked. I am giving as much info as I can think of in order that it might help you to help me. PC is a quadcore & is running windows7 64bit, has a upgraded video card & 8G Ram if that helps at all....Thank you all again & God Bless You♥ karen

H.264 AVC and/or AVCHD require a BlueRay player to work, a regular DVD player does not know how to display that format.

standard DVD is 720x480 (NTSC) at 59.94 fps (frames per second) interlaced. a typical DVD is about 4.3 GB for a single layer, where a BlueRay is about 30 GB.

Consumer cameras have an almost limitless variety of formats these days, but DVD players only recognize MPEG2 (720x480i). Many Bluerays will play MPEG2, MPEG4 (some even will do DivX and other formats) you have to read the fine print in their manuals ... a lot like reading greek or latin ...)

Hope that helps a little RTX 2060 SUPER 8GB GDDR6

I did 1st burn this to DVD as suggested above & DVD format did not play in my player. I have tried to get to the bottom of my problem by reading my player manual but the fact is I have been making these for years & playing them in my player (the same one) only difference is I have never before used video as I did this time. So I figure the problem has to be in the video in some thing I'm doing, not doing, or the video clips format or files I am using....I am so frustrated if this movie were not for my 2 year old grandson I would can it & forget working with video altogether, but it is & therefore this grandma must solve the problem....Please is there anyone out there who can help me, I'm truly lost....I will be eternally grateful♥ karen

Ok,
bring yer stuff back into PD9..create disk and Selct Mpeg2 as output. Either you can Burn to Folder then download 'ImgBurn" (it is a free program) and use that to burn your DVD or (preview your folder DVD and see if it satisfactory) burn directly to DVD using PowerProducer.
On you hard drive folder wht you burned should have a Video folder and audio folder the video folder should contain a bunch of file with VOB extension and some BUP, Its extensions.
If you use 'ImgBurn" just navidate to your folder and Imgburn should recognize as a DVD.
Excuse typing errors.
Hope you can follow that.

I apologize for not making my first screen shot to include the settings. Using the settings that is shown in the below screen shot, were yours the same? The difference may have been 4:3 instead of 16:9 depending how your project is set up. I'm thinking there may be a codec issue going on....

Thank you both James & Bubba. James, yes that's exactly what the original files were that my son sent. If I need to download that program I will do so. I would rather not add even more programs to my PC if not required though. Bubba, yes my screen looked exactly the same & it was set for 16x9 only difference is that I set it for 5 channel surround....What Codec might I be missing & if so is there a way to find out? Thank you both again so much, I am grateful for your help♥ karen
