I;m on my third video through Power Director 7 and the rendering process keeps stopping at 38%. I tried to do another shorter video and it did the same. I noticed the elapsed time clock continues to tick so the computer isn't frozen. Anyone having this issue?

Here are the lengths and file types

Video 1: 25 min, render done in mpeg2 and mp4 successful
Video 2: 15 min, mpeg2 and mp4 both stopped at 38%
Video 3: 3 min, mpeg2 and mp4 both stopped at 38% ___________________________________________

Two things come to mind. Check your virtual memory (pagefile I believe). This is disk space used as extra memory and you can concievably configure as much as 4 times the amount of RAM installed on your system.

I have 4GB RAM so right now I have 12GB of virtual memory allocated.

Also, whenever I'm about to give an editor a critical task (rendering to me is quite critical) I shut the computer down normally (power down as if through for the night) and then do a power up "cold boot", start up the editor and go right into the intended task. The theory is you start with fresh memory allocations since nothing else has used memory that might not be released.

Just a couple of guesses that might be worth a try.
