I have the same problem. Has anyone figured out why this is? I thought something was wrong with the titles I had put in so I took them all out but it still freezes at 21% while "producing titles".

Running Vista Ultimate 64bit, 4gb ram, 500gb hd, AMD quad-core Phenom

My experience -

I use Vista Enterprise 32bit and of course when I first installed many months ago it I found that there were many missing codecs so I downloaded the freebie VistaCodecs package.

I was having intermittent burning (or producing file) crashes as well over the past 2 days I've been testing PD7. I really wanted to like this software so I decided to remove VistaCodecs to see if that helped.... and it did. At I really hadn't wanted to remove it because my system has been stable for almost a year and the only thing changed was recently installing PD7.

But, after removing VistaCodecs and rebooting I've finally been able to burn a full DVD from HD material as well as output an edited HD movie file.

I don't have any specific codec pack installed as I only use a few. xvid, divx and a few other well known ones. My project only requires taking an already made divx avi file and burning it with all the perks of a dvd. Shouldn't be any problem at all.

Tried uninstalling some codecs, rebooting.... still refuses to pass 21%. I don't know it it helps but I think it causes a temporary problem with Explorer. Right as it hits 21% Explorer windows flicker. DVD drive locked up and when writing a DVD folder the vob file does not go above 0k.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem and have installed Powerdirector 7 on two computers. One on a AMD 64bit running 32bit Windows XP, and the other, a AMD 64bit machine running 64bit XP.

Both machines have the latest drivers, and both stop burning at 21% (sometimes 24%) while "Producing Titles". I have also tried "Create a DVD folder" with the same result.

I am trying to determine if there is a common element to our problems. Evan, what processor is your machine running? Is it also stopping at 21%?

I am wondering whether this problem is common to running a 64bit AMD processor. Could anyone experiencing this problem, please post their CPU specs, as I have bought the full version and have tried everything that CyberLink support has told me to do.

Thanks

My DVD burning issues per crashing were intermittent. Unfortunately I had other issues that I was unable to resolve - screen/menu dvd background image quality, DVD video quality from HD source material, sync, etc.

On occasion producing a file (vs burning) would get to the end of the progress bar but never finish -- even though it appeared the physical process completed.

Someone here gave the suggesting of burning with both DVD and DVD-Folder checked. Maybe try that, but it seems like black-magic to me.

Good luck.
