Attach a copy of your dxdiag.txt. I suspect that will hold some clues. Directions are in the forum stickies. What type is the source video? Are you using hardware acceleration? __________________________________

Can you help me out and direct me how to get to the forum stickies?? I cant find it. Ive read about the hardware acceleration but am not sure how to get to that either. Any response from you will be greatly appreciated.

The stickies are the threads/posts at the top of the first forum page.....


We only have a LOT of question we need to ask. Are you current with your video drivers, and quicktime. Do you have the latest patch? Did you try to slow down your burn speed? Do yo have hardware acceleration on or off?


The DXDIAG file shows us how your machine is set up. Which will tell us if your machine can even run PD or not....

When you are asked to provide a DXDIAG you go the following link and do part "B". Your posted specs are NOT what we are looking for as they tell us nothing. The specs on the box of your computer mean nothing. The DXDIAG shows us how your computer is configured as it runs.

Thank you both for your replies bubba and Jaime. I do not know how to get to hardware acceleration to use it or to tell if it is on or off on my powerdirector 11. I have tried slowing my burn speed down, this has helped somewhat, but it hasn't solved my issues. To re-explain the issue that I am having, the sound cuts out every 5 min or so, not for long just for like 2 sec or so and sometimes with green pixilation. I end up missing what is being said sometimes and it is very annoying. Going forward any direction on this issue will be extremely helpful. I have not yet been told if producing a movie should take as long as it takes me. I can work with it taking 3hrs to burn a dvd, I wish it was faster but I can live with it. But it would take what would seem up to a whole day just to produce my movies first and then I would have to burn it which would take another 3 hrs. PLEAS HELP!!

It will not allow me to attach the file for the DxDiag what can I do for that?? I go to attachments and press browse but it will not do anything....

To burn a DVD can take quite a long time depending on the specs of your PC. A good high spec PC such as mine can burn a dvd video in about 20 minutes, this is burning only and not editing or adding titles.

To do that you need at least 8Gbytes of memory and reasonable cpu with a speed of about 3.5 Ghz, and a gpu enable video card. Assuming your are running Win 7 64 bit, that would let you burn a DVD in a reasonably shorter time than you are now claiming.

One thing you might try and that is to experiment on a short clip, say 5 mins, produce and then preview and see what it looks like. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,

thank you kingsmeadow. I figured that much. I can deal with the amount of time that it takes to burn a movie, it gets on my nerves but I can deal with it. I produced a movie all the way through and it took 6 hrs, then burned it and it only took an hour and a half to burn the whole movie. But it did not solve my problem. I was only wondering how long it should take to produce a movie because I thought this would fix the issue that I was having. My issue is my final output burned to dvd, the audio on it will cut out from time to time making me miss sometimes important things in movies when watching on a dvd player, and once again sometimes this happens with green pixilation flashing across the screen. So with all that said is there any way to fix this?? I am currently burning a movie using the hardware acceleration to see if this helps. I have also attempted slowing down my burn speed and like I said at the beginning of this reply I have successfully produced a movie first before burning it to dvd and this did not work either, my issue still persists. the audio still cuts out from time to time. I am running windows 8 64 bit with 4GB system memory my cpu speed is 2.4gz, and I have a AMD E1-1200 accelerated processor. I the computer is a HP Pavilion all in once pc. I just got this computer and I got it for the purpose of burning dvds and working from home. I am renting to own this computer so I can switch it out with another one that I might do better with. If this system is not suitable to burn or run powerdirector any faster then I will trade this sucker in. Please now 1. Can anybody tell me how to fix my audio issues? and 2. Should I get another computer and if so what, specs should I look for when getting another computer? Thanks to everybody that has replied to me thus far. Any further help would once again be muchly appreciated.

Let's try some this...First does the video you produce, play in preview mode without any glitches ? or audio issues ? Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,
GTX 680, 2 X Benq23 3D monitors,
6G DDR3, Win 7 64, Win 10 (Insider) 64
PCIE SSD, Intel Sata SSD 2 500 Gbyte Seagate,

Thank you for your responsw once again kingsmeadow..... When ever I play the preview there is no issues at all... I have recently bought a diiferent brand of dvd+r though.... I was originally burning onto Memorex, I bought verbatim dvd+r and have watched it on my computer and there were no issues on this copy, have not yet tried it on a dvd player so I do not know if the issue is solved just yet... I do know that certain programs work better with certain brands of dvd+r's, is powerdirector like this?? does it work better with certain brands than others?? does it work better with dvd-r's or dvd+r's?? maybe this is the solution to the problem?? once again your response will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I'm really surprised that you are getting anythgn at all with that "AMD E1-1200 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (2 CPUs), ~1.4GHz "
CPU.

Look at the dxdiag file for your optical drive and then go to the manufacturer's web sit eand see what they suggest -- except if they say Memorex or Store Brand ! .
