I am a HUGE fan of PD, used different versions for a few years in fact.. but had a massive nightmare burning to DVD with PD9.. I am aware of the acknowledged issues and how Cyberlink was honest enough to say burn DVDs to file then use somethign like NERO to burn to dvd. (Which cost me 90$ to purchase by the way) I am STILL having issues as the burns are locking and either freezign screen at one section or burning without picture.. I made a movie with my son thats 2 dvds and wasted 17 disks to get one functional copy of each dvd. At least those copies now burn perfect copues with Nero.

My question though is about PAL settings.

I am on Canada so obvious dont use PAL settings. However we have alot of fans of our videos in the UK, so I want to make a pal version and send to some of them. With the massive defect in PDs burn to dvd, I need to make sure whatever copies I make work.. and with a 1 in 8 that actually works.. I need to find a way to verify the PAL works even though I am in a NTSC area. I cant afford to mail 8 different disks to UK and hope one works.

I am a VERY loyal customer on things I like.. but quite honestly my hearts been broken by PD, a program I loved to use sicne PD and PP versiosn 3 and up.. but v9 has cost me more and more money, waste of time and made me start to dislike my hobby, just because it cant burn a dvd properly. Its why I havent upgraded.. and frankly.. it I cant get thei PAL thing test sorted, will be the last straw.. nto a threat.. reality over what I have been 'overpatient' on but reached the end I fear.
