Rendering unbelieveably slow

I previously posted this (http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/30765.page#168892) but received no ongoing response. Maybe I did it the wrong way.

In a nutshell: I cannot effectively render (produce) any of the movies I edit, the process takes forever. Last night I tried to produce a 43 minute MPEG 2 movie and after 14 hours only 23% was produced (screenshots of the production progress and settings screens are attached). I have tried AVI, MPEG-4 and MOV with the same result. WMV was reasonably quick and created a watchable movie but bizarrely it was in 4:3 while the project is 16:9 and created a movie that was only 23 minutes long.

I have an Asus S56C notebook Intel i7 running windows 8.1 64 bit and 4GB RAM with an nvidia Geoforce GT 635M with 2GB dedicated RAM (see all specs in attached DxDiag file). I have aplied all patches to PD11 and all driver updates. I would have thought that this system should be able to handle this, hope I am not wrong!

I am running Power Director Ultra 11.0.0.3625 Serial Number VDE131223-01

Anti-Virus: Windows Defender (for 8.1)
Codec: CamStudio Lossless Codec v 1.5
Other Video Editing: None
Burning: Windows
Background Processes: I've tried PD with everything that is not essential shut down, no luck.
I cannot see a 64bit button on dxdiag.

I have un-installed/reinstalled PD 11 twice.

From other responses on this issue on the forum I tried to roll back the nvidia driver 301.42 but got the error message it was not compatible with my system.

I would really appreciate any help you can give., it is quite urgent

Quickly looking at the DXdiag file I don't see a listing for the Nvidia Geoforce GT 635M graphics card, is it enabled in the bios? It appears at least to me your system is running of off the onboard Intel card. No clue on Win8.1, maybe someone else will know.

Thanks Dave, I was puzzled b y the fact that I had an Intel Graphics Dialog pop-up. I am a bit of a novice but I will try and see if I can enable the Nvidia card. (Just a thought though, wouldn;t the Nvidia Control panel tell me the card was not enabled?)

Thanks gain Dave, you helped me find a solution! I couldn't figure out how to change BIOS settings, but your question pointed me in the right direction. PD11 was using the integrated graphics processor, I had to force it to use the Nvidia card. I found the solution here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Completely-disable-Intel-HD-graphics-and-only-use-nVidia-555m/td-p/1143609
THe recommendation was:

hi Giftig,

Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!

I think that the Onboard Intel HD cannot be disable because the computer is mainly running on this Graphics,

What i would try is this
this is to let Nvidia be assigned on running the game.

The switching to the NVIDIA graphics depends on application profiles. If an application has no such profile, you can assign the graphics card manually:
Click Start and then Control Panel. Select Classic View from the left side of the window.
Double-click NVIDIA Control Panel.
Click View and next Add "Run with graphics processor" Option to Context Menu. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Right-click the application title and select Run with graphics processor. Then, click High-performance NVIDIA processor.

The link to the Lenovo forum answered by the support specialist refer to the laptop running the Lucid Virtu driver. That driver has been updated many times for Intel. You might want to check to see if a later one is available for your Lenovo.

Thanks tomasc, I actually am using an Asus - it was the process outlined that helped me, not the driver.
