I'm am really frustrated with PD 14. I ahev used PD 10 for 5 years on an older Windows 7 system and have struggled to produce years of discs. I finally decided to get a better system and had a top of the line system built exclusively to do video editing with the expectation that a top of the line machine running PD 14 would actually function properly. Well...the Edit mode works great. The Produce mode works great. But Create Disc......

All this week I had a problem with Blu rays not burning properly. Now the program consistently freezes at the 89% mark of the Checking Menus indicator. I see online that people have had this issue since PD 8. I am using pretty standard settings as they are identical to the PD 10 settings I have used for years. I have uninstalled and re-installed and have checked all options and unchecked options.

Any one have a clue...I swear I have spent over 25 hours this week trying to get one viewable disc with the silly expectation that PD14 would be an improvement over PD10.

Need to reboot computer as it just crashed again! Any ideas out there??

Hi jrlaw10,
I see you've been receiving assistance on: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/49263.page

I disagree with you on the continuance of the same issue as mentioned on previous versions of PowerDirector, that is incorrect. The most likely cause of the issues are the user operator failing to adhere to the limitations in disc production.

You've been asked for Part A in the guide,previously but I couldn't find the data in your replies. Please read through and carry out Part H, it is a simple test to check what you're doing.

A screenshot of your Edit workspace, Part E & F and data on the video being edited will help, please provide the MediaInfo. See Part J

The more info we have the easier it is for us to assist you.

I see you're running an i5 computer, this is not that powerful a computer (to handle PowerDirector 14 and video editing HD footage/production) and you will struggle in some areas.

Just my opinion.
