Reading everybodys input I have tried to take on board all thats being said. I have been running through the various tasks suggested by Dafydd Bevan - SoftDeko from the following link:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/7958.page
Only recently following my upgrade from v2220c to v2508 build, I did completely rebuild my system from a formated 'C' drive to a fresh OS install. Initially I was able to burn two DVD,s of the same project, but didn't like the main menu, so decided to change it, at the same time correcting a few chapter spelling mistakes.
And since then my systems really seems to be sluggish with PD8 even though cpu is running very low....
Sorry Donald you asked how many chapters etc:
I have 26 Chapters, with blizzard transition between every chapter, 6 effects repeated through the 26 Chptrs, 30 sec music intro and 60 sec music outro, that's it. Total size 2615mb

Ok, I have just burned the same project again, (knowing what the end result is), and no data has been written to disc at all.
So does that mean the issue is definately an internal storage issue?, and not a media storage issue.....!

Tony, I've just done a reccy on my storage media, and all looks to be okay
Albeit I'm only using a laptop for my current projects, until I can buy another desktop.
I have a std 80GB internal memory with 58.3GB of free space. This is where the main application is installed.
My projects have been saved to an external Maxtor TB with 668GB still of free space!!
Any other suggestions....
For interest:
I had burned the same project to a RW disc using a default menu which burned quite sucessfully. That way I new all of my chapters, transitions, effects and music etc had no conflicts or issues. Then I selected a Menu to add to my project and only change the std text from My Videos to my own title, and changed item 1, item2 , item 3 etc to my own chapters headings, thats all......
Finally saved it under a different project name as a completed file. so I still have the effects project with a nice menu....

Donald, thanks for the link, I will look closer at my settings. Although I am hoping to purchase a much bigger beast of a desktop P.C very soon, which I'm sure will make life alot easier. At least 2x dual core quad and around 8GB Ram

Hi Andy,
Info in bottom LHC read 2615mb/4700mb
Just to correct the point I was raising:-
The exact msg reads:-
[b]Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
My last project completed to 92%, before recieving the above msg.
Disc Preferences are set to:-
a) Standard DVD 4.7GB
b) Widescreen 16.9
c) SP- Standard Quality
d) 2 Channels
e) MPEG2

Following a saga of stability issues with v2220c, I have upgraded to PD8 V2508. And have sucessfully created a couple of projects to disc. However, my most recent project has thrown up a new issue. And that is to say that is sucessfully burns through to 99%, hangs for a while, then throws up an error msg:
"unsucessful burn. insufficient media memory" 
My project is only 2615mb in size. I'm using std 4.70Gb DVD+R discs
All plays back in preview, with no issues
I'm using a HP Z8000 pavilion, Pentium 4, 3.ooGHz with XP Home Edition v2002 SP3 and 2.00 GB RAM, and burning to a USB 2.0 external Sony Optiarc AD-7201A DVD/CD writer.
There appears to be ample media memory 2.6GB to 4.7GB disc, I'm assuming its referring to the DVD+R discs, although I could be completely wrong!!
Is my system under powered for the project?

 Thanks Andrew, for the link to build 2508. CB tech support have also agreed to send me a download link today 20th Jan. So we'll push on and hopefully have some good results.
Thanks for your comments everybody, never really used forums before now. But will definately use them more often. It's nice to know that there life outside of ones own little bubble experiencing similar issues, and to be able to exchange views.
Maybe I can contribute something constructive to another member in the future, I hope so......
Until we spk again..........happy producing :
Oh and by the way, I didn't get the opportunity to wait allnight to see if v2220c would burn off a disc.....Although I will be upgrading my system to a multi core with loads more RAM from next month. So that should greatly improve speed and performance on screen refresh rate....bfn

Thanks for that tip Andy, I will reduce the number of undues, as I haven't really used it much anyway.
Anything is worth a try...

As Andy has suggested, I will attempt to leave my project burning overnight as it is a large project, and it could just be taking many hours to successfully burn it. We'll see......synical that I am.
I have post a help request from technical, and also requested an upgrade to v2508, as I believe that some of the issues in v2220c have been resolved. Not that I was aware of any issues when only using the trial version, mind you I guess a large amount of features weren't available on the trial edition.
All said and done, I followed the link to upgrade to v2508, but was only directed to CB tech help anyway. So have asked outright for an upgrade as it has only been 4 weeks since purchasing PD8 Deluxe. And it hasn't performed without issue since installing.
Can anybody suggest where to download the v2508 patch, as the CB link that Andrew has suggested only directs me to another forum, and the link placed by Dafydd Bevan - SoftDeko in that forum only directs me to CB Search Knowledge Base and Tech support, which only allows users to download v2220c upgrade not v2508........
Come on guys help me pleeeease.........lol frustration

 I am a new user to Cyberlink products, and so far have not been to impressed even though it came highly recommended by a friend. I have it installed on a Pentium 4, 3.ooGHz with XP Home Edition v2002 SP3 and 2.00 GB RAM.
I have created my first project (December 2009), and to this day have not been able to produced a working DVD!!! frustration or what...
I am using a USB 2.0 external Sony Optiarc AD-7201A DVD/CD writer. My project has a number of chapters, and transitions, fairly basic stuff for most regular user of PD software.
I purchased PD8 Deluxe in December 2009, and have recently downloaded the patch to upgrade it to v2220c.
The main issue I have is it hangs the application after the burning process has started at appx 24%, and goes no further. The application hasn't crashed, and my cpu is running at only a few %, so no issue there. When I cancel the burning task, it advises me that the burning will be incomplete and do I wish to proceed to cancel yes or no. Once cancelled the story board screen re appears and everything is back to normal.
Any advice would be appreciated......
