Thanks for the suggestion -- think I will just dig around some more with search to see if I have overlooked something.
As robust as the "suggestion box" was a couple of posts above, something should be posted somewhere if anything
worthwhile is/has taken place.
If nothing turns up, I will take a shot at starting another thread after the Olympic project wraps up.

Search turned this up regarding pd 12. No need to start a new thread -- this says it all for me.
"PD's menu creation module is locked into the Root Menu/Scenes Menu configuration & we can't get past it."
"Cheers - Tony"

Ok so no help from Cyberlink on menus. I just produced a dvd of the grammys where the first page was PLAY and SCENES followed by 8 pages of 4 chapters each. The dvd requires page-by-page review to find a chapter times eight with only one other option -- to return to the first page. Essentially, the menu is worthless.
I am planning a figure skating dvd with a lot more chapters. Forget easier, is there any way to make this bd disk even remotely random access from links on page one?
I am running pd 10 on a sandy bridge processor desktop.

Thank you -- at least I know there is nothing easier I am missing.
"There is a new forum where you can give suggestions for improving the Powerdirector Menu system.
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/22604.page"
Have any of the suggestions listed on the above link been implemented subsequent to PD 10?
Thanks again

So OK,
What does that buy you? You can select a set of clips and move them around now. What does having them as an
video accomplish except to group them which you can do with the group function anyway?
My interest is off topic though as I want to keep chapters straight when I move clips around in the timeline. I know it would be better to do the chapters last, and I do that but sometimes changes are required subsequently.

What would be good would be a Chapter row that could move with an inserted clip --
That would get me to 12 from 10.

Well Jullien Pierre --
You seemed to have put your finger on what I should be looking for to solve my Pdr 10 rendering issue. There are some active quick sync advocates on this forum and they succeeded in whetting my appetite for that feature. However, --
it turns out my early adopter DP67BG motherboard did not enable that function for the sandy bridge cpu that it came with . That is if the review found at: http://www.computershopper.com/components/reviews/intel-dp67bg is accurate in their statement that --
"You’ll need a motherboard based on the Z68 or H67 chipsets if you want to use the built-in graphics on the latest Sandy Bridge chips, as well as the processor’s hardware-based video-transcoding acceleration (a.k.a. Intel's Quick Sync Video)."
And, this also is probably why your ssd outran mine 2 to 1 as the review goes on to say --
"The P67 chipset also lacks support for caching with solid-state drives (SSDs) using Intel’s Smart Response technology."
So I have my answer -- change out the motherboard. And, your earlier suggestion to install the third generation Ivy Bridge processor at the same time would seem in order. May do the mb first as the pricing on those will have come in a little bit while the cpu will be getting full price at this early stage in the cycle.
Probably do one then the other later. If you or anyone have another thought, it will be welcome -- Thanks JP for your insight.

The file is 2 hours and 12 minutes running time. Your post is my first hearing of Quick Sync. Cannot find an implementation for PD 10. Unchecked all hardware acceleration boxes everywhere I could find them in PD hoping the CPU would introduce QS but apparently not -- the burn process rendered to BMDV file taking 15 minutes more. Suggestions would be welcomed -- searching the forum and Cyberlink help screens has been no help.
I do not seem to be getting whatever rendering benefits sandy bridge is supposed to bring, at least where PD 10 is concerned. Unless that is, 85 minutes is considered good by nominal rendering standards.
I hesitate to just wade into this workload if there is a rendering bunny running around somewhere out there.
Edit: Found much more to research in the forum -- was spelling quick sync incorrectly as quick synch. Correct spelling turned up five pages of hits.

>>My RAID-0 SSD speed in the benchmarks like Crystal disk mark is about 900MB to 1 GB/s . My RAID00 HD speed is about 200 -300MB/s.
Thanks for that -- I downloaded crystaldiskmark and my single 128 mb ssd c: drive scored 442.1 and 131.3 Mb/sec sequential read and write on the 1000 mb default size. The striped hd scored 233.9 and 234.2 respectively. The graphics card is Radeon HD 5770 in crossfire configuration and the operating system is windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
I also downloaded CrystalMark 2004R3 [0.9.126.451] a suite of system benchmarks from softronic site and on the hdd test the c drive scored 45261 and the striped drive scored 18973.
I am planning a great deal of graphics work using PDir 10 this winter and 85 minutes to render a bdmv from this typical ts file is going to be a burden. I have hardware decoding unchecked in preferences as it causes ghosting on fast motion captured video. I could enable it for rendering events and will give that a try.
Looking for elements to upgrade for better results.

I have an i7-2600K (Sandy Bridge) cpu desktop at 3.4 Ghz with 8 gb ram running windows home premium (6.1.706 service pack 1).
It rendered a pds project from a 6 gb mpeg-2 TS video file with minimal graphics, a KISS II menu (chapter breaks of 6 sets of 4 chapters each) to a bdmv file in 1 hr and 25 minutes.
PD10 is installed an a 1 Terabyte (2 striped 1 terabyte drives) ide hard drive and the pds file and the ts file were both on the striped drive.
I moved the ts and pds files to the C drive to see if that solid stated drive would improve rendering performance and it ran at exactly the same speed.
The pds file rendered 20% of the project in the first six minutes and then ran only 5% the next six minutes. Takes off fast and then bogs down. Any ideas, suggestions for faster results?
