Have you tried to just burn to a folder set only? Does that complete.? If it hangs, then there is something in your project that the program doesn't like. Burning to a disc rathe rthan a folder set make your computer work hard because it has to encode and burn at the same time.

If the folder set is made, you can use any number of programs to burn it to a blu ray disc including ImgBurn.

I just did this yesterday with PowerDirector 12 with no issues. I doubt that I would get a different result if I went to PowerDirector 11.

After you try the above, let me know and I can put something together for a trial with PD 11. .

Hi stevek,
Thanks for showing an interest in the problem I was having.
I have tried several things since your suggestion.
Trying to do a "produce" also failed, and that is with the SVRT showing no rendering required.

I will not bore you with what I have done but for the benefit of anyone reading this I will say how I found out what my problem was, I think!

I purchased the Sony 3D camera long before having any means of editing 3D.

As I had taken one holiday video and wanted to use the camera again I loaded all the files, from the first holiday, on to the computer and burned the the files (as data files) on to several ordinary DVD discs.

When I set up the new computer (July) I copied the files from the discs onto a hard drive. I added all the files on to the timeline and did a "burn to disk". It worked.

After editing out the bits I didn't want and did a "burn to disc. It failed. Several times.

Today (17/10/2013) it crossed my mind that the video still stored in the camera would perhaps work better.
I loaded the video from the camera onto the hard drive.
I then loaded the video from the hard drive into Powerdirector 11s timeline. One file failed to load. All the others loaded without any problem.
I ran the SVRT program and it illuminated red in several sections. The majority was showing as green.

I decided to try a "burn to disk", even with the sections that needed rendering.

It worked, though I have still to see what the result plays like.

So after lots and lots of hours I appear to have learnt that
the video as it comes of the camera is perhaps not as good as it should be and any video that has gone through 2 transfers should definitely be viewed with suspicion.

Thanks for the update. Have fun. .
