I used to work with PowerDirector Express 5 and Power Producer 3 (I got both with my JVC camrecorder). These were great tools and I had no problems with any of them while editing and burning my clips, so lately I've decided to try PD7.
Unfortunately, I am unable to burn my project with PD7.
For the last few days I was working on some movie clip with lots of effects and motion menu. When I try to burn it, PD crashes at 7% (during motion menu creation). Here's what I did:
1) I uninstalled and installed PD. Now it crashes at 4% (always).
2) I removed all sound files and PiPs from the project. Still crashes.
3) I reduced the number of chapters (from 35 to 15). Still crashes.
4) I tried burning my project to file. Still crashes.
5) I tried burning 3xAquarium.mpg with my project motion menu. It works.
6) I tried burning my project without the menu. It works.
7) I tred burning my project with other motion menu. Still crashes.
It seems there's something wrong with menu burning. I can create and burn DVD files from my source clips. I can also create DVD menu (it works in preview mode), but I cannot burn it.
During one of the crashes I was able to see pop-up window: "Error code: c000001a".
