So, the program I loaded was the Program Director 15, and shows what I would call all the functions to create and burn a DVD. Capture,eidt,produce, & create disc. Are you saying this does NOT give me the ability to burn my DVD? Bummer if so..

It would be helpful if you click PowerDirector in the upper right hand corner and screen capture and attach the pic so we can see what version you really have. Title indicates PD12, now PD15, the pic will provide the release and version information for what you are running.

So you have the LE version which is a very, very limited version of the 5 year old PD15 release. It may be able to create a DVD with very basic video, like MPEG or wmv in the timeline.

To see if you can:
1) drag the Kite Surfing.wmv video to track 1
2) Click "Create Disc" on the top menu
3) Select 2D Disk and DVD for disc type and then the "Burn in 2D" in the lower right corner and see if you can burn or if you get a warning about upgrading.

Cyberlink does not have a great table to see exactly what's not supported in this limited LE version so trial and error and see when you get a warning about upgrading is the easiest way.

Thanks Jeff..I'll give that a whirl...

So, I don't have to use the Produce function first? When I use Creat Disc I get a pop up stating Your version doesn't support this version...and an Upgrade button on the bottom

No, you do not have to "Produce" first to create a disc.

Since you got the upgrade warning, this LE version simply lacks the ability to create a basic DVD.

So...I hate to say this, but then without purchasing one of the packages then I can't burn a DVD...And seriously...I don't need to have fancy bells & whistles...just need to burn some files. Best option for my $ then is? And, a one time purchase or yearly costs?

Yes, you'd need a PD product that supports burning to DVD and with such you get a suite of editing features which sounds maybe way more than your need.

Do a search, plenty of free products out there.

All right...thanks everyone for chiming in here.
