Saved and restarted PD12. Proceeded to Create Disk.

Started Burn in 2D.

This time instead of getting window with 2 Completion Bars (Authoring & Burning) There is just 1 Progress Completion bar. It runs fine to 97%, 36 minute video in about 36 minutes BUT at 97% DVD Burner light is out and no more progress.

It's currently at 51 minutes and climbing.

??

After running over an hour, Canceled burn but now program not responding!

I do not know if this is any help.

Finally, I found on the AMD site a feature to uninstall everything on my system that was AMD. I ran that, cleaned off all AMD drivers and software, then reinstalled the new driver, and success.
So it appears the issue was with the graphics card driver.

Thank you Carl!

What is DIVX, is format used by PD?

I'll update QT and Nvidia drivers and report back.

You can also consider using a third party DVD burner such as ImgBurn that consistently does a better job then Pd. Win 10, i7

DIVX is a compression format that is often used in the AVI container.

For more information, search in Powerdirector help for "Importing Media Files" without quotes.

I shoot AVCHD so hope I don't need to worry about AVI. I produce 3 products regularly, MPEG4 computer files, Normal DVD, and AVCHD DVDs.

It's frustrating that the software does not 'know' beforehand if the computers settings/drivers are up to the task. We have to burn a coaster and then interpret error codes etc.

Thanks HDEdit!

I created Audio/Video files with PD12 then used ImgBurn to prepare video files and burn to disk without issue.

Really illuminates the late need for Cyberlink to improve the process, note missing files or updates it thinks it needs to burn a disk. Edit to Burn should certainly belong in a single program.

I still need to find the root cause of my PD problem and fix it.

I meant to hilite the fact that Imgburn also gives you the option of VERIFY after a burn to ensure that the DVD is a total copy of the folder files. Win 10, i7

Thanks! I did notice and use the Verify function.

Also allows AVCHD files to be burned for high definition off of standard DVDs.

Guess I'll try to uninstall and reinstall PD12 and see if I can get full use of product without resorting to ImgBurn.
