Wait, I just re-read that again, and it sounds like you think I could cut it in half, render, then add the second half before I try and burn?
Is that what you're suggesting? I hadn't thought of trying that....
|

I was afraid you might say that. The problem is, this is only 1 half of the project already.... I hate having more than 2 dvd's for it in the end. If the splitting audio doesn't work, I'll have to resort to that I guess.

I think I'll try splitting the audio. That just might do the trick. Thanks so much! I'll report back.

Baryddth,
in response to your questions, the movie is 8 different video clips lined up to equal about 52 minutes of footage. Yes, my computer is set to defrag automatically and it has been doing that. Also, I haven't cleaned out temp files, but I should probably try that.
No, this hasn't happened with any other projects I've been working on.
|
|
|
So is there a way to pull the audio from the video file in PD or do I need to use a different program to do it?
I think I might need to try the separate audio track thing. It sounds like that might be the issue.
Just have to figure out how to get the audio by itself now.
|

The sound is being used directly from the video. I guess I could try and pull the sound from the clips and add them separately, but will muting the original videos and using a separate sound track really stop the lag? If that's the case, it might be worth a try.

I think I did render to MPEG 2 first. I'll try it again to be sure though. And yes, the lag seemed to happen while I was watching the video as I created the project in the Edit section. I only thought it was happening because there was so much going on. It works fine to just watch it on Windows Media Player though. Doesn't really make sense.
I'll try the rendering again and try another burn. Hopefully I had forgotten that step and this will fix it.
Thanks.

I'm using PD 8, and Windows Vista.
The sound is part of the actual video, but it lags behind when I'm watching it in PD. I thought maybe this would be corrected when I burned the final product, since there are just a lot of things going on when PD is playing your movie. Not true. The lag happened on the DVD as well. The original video doesn't lag at all. I played it on Windows Media Player just fine.
I didn't add the sound, it was already part of the video. I also didn't add anything special like effects, transitions, titles or anything like that. I even tried deleting the clips and then undoing the action to see if that fixed it.
It makes the people performing in my video look like they are lip-syncing which is not cool.
Any ideas?

Okay, I fixed that part and that seemed to resolve the issue. Thanks so much. I'll probably upgrade to the newest version as well just to avoid any future problems. I appreciate your insight. I'm so glad my videos are finally burning.
Thanks again!

Here's the file you asked for. Maybe this will help determine if I have enough memory to burn a disc.
|
|
|
I'm using Power Director Ultra 8.00.2013
I did the dxdiag.txt file, but I'm not sure how to put it on this forum for you to see.

When I go to burn it, in the space that it would let you choose to burn to a folder, it says I have 216 GB available. Is that what you mean?
|

I'm trying to burn a 9 minute video on a Sony DVD-R and it says there isn't enough memory to complete the operation. I have no idea what that means. I've tried burning AVI and MPEG2 and neither one works. Any suggestions?
|

I'm having the exact same problem. The weird part is that I successfully burned a version of my project just about twenty minutes before. Then, after finding a few things I wanted to change, I tried it again and it won't work. I didn't even make the project bigger or add anything. I only swapped out a picture or two in my slide show and changed some of the titles at the end.
If there was even a way to burn the file that it creates when you burn to a dvd folder that would at least be something, but no program I own can seem to even open the file let alone burn it.
Need help bad.

Wow. Thanks for all of the responses first of all. You guys ROCK!
I resorted to using Roxio to make a lame version of the project just to get it done in time for my deadline I had.
But for the future, I would like to resolve this PD problem as I really like the program and the options it offers.
There are some great suggestions posted here and I'm excited to start trying them.
I think I'll try to make the clips an MPEG 2 like suggested. That will be my first shot.
I'll post to let you all know how that goes!
Thanks again.

Okay, so now I've added the audio as an mp3 as muted the video tracks. This has solved the audio problem.
The issue now is that the video is cutting out at around 10 minutes, even though the audio continues to play.
I can't seem to win! Lol.
I am using avi videos. Could this have something to do with it?
I noticed that I was having a difficult time previewing the video clips that are being problematic in the timeline, but I could always re-click on them and make them work.
I can't imagine what's going on.
You are all going to get sick of me on here, but I really need to get this working.
Thanks again to anyone who has any suggestions.

Okay so my program is responding better, but my issue now is that the video is cutting out when I burn the project. This is just after I have solved my audio cutting out problem. Urgh....
Any suggestions as to why a video would just cut out and leave the audio playing? (The audio used is an mp3 on the voice track and the video clip is muted due to earlier audio problems). I am using .AVI videos.
Any ideas?

I am now trying to add the audio as an MP3 and I think I will just mute the audio on the movie tracks. Hopefully this solves the problem.
Thanks again for all the help!

Tried the LPCM and it didn't make a difference. I'm going to try to get another source for the video and see if that helps. Maybe my original videos were weird, even though they played just fine in the PD.
I can't imagine what else would make the audio just disappear like that, and not even at the beginning of the video.
I would try to separate the audio and the video but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
If anyone has a simple way for me to try it, I'd like to.
Otherwise, I'm going to search for a different video source.
Thanks for all of the help I've received. I appreciate the time you took!

I would love to try the LPCD burn with the audio but I have no idea what that means or how to go about trying it?
If anyone can briefly explain it to me I'm sure I can manage it.
Thanks!
