Hi Bill,
"Out on a limb" is the only answer I can give. PD wasn't in the past tested on non-consumer cpu's and therefore you use at your own "risk". If PD currently works and you're happy it does, carry on editing.

Note for all:
This is a PowerDirector forum, it isn't the place to give support for other company's software products - please take that to another place or means.

Dafydd,

Got it! PD wasn't tested on non-consumer cpu's, so if it works...then great.

My apologies, I stand corrected about mentioning other company's software. I am just grateful that someone suggested a third party workaround to resolve the PD9 issues. As a result, I achieved success.

After batch-converting all 29 MOV files to MP4, I was able to edit my short 10-minute video. It contained lots of split and cross-faded audio tracks. There were no issues, except one time during the hour-long edit when I got ahead of the memory and PD9 crashed. But that stuff happens anywhere.

I produced the project and burned a 16:9 DVD. Perfect!

I am grateful to all of you for assisting me by providing clues. That lead to the discovery that it was the audio component of the MOV clips that was giving PD9 a fit. That lead to the format conversion workaround.

Thanks so much to everyone! Bill Spicer

It takes a community to resolve editing software issues.
