Monobod Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi,I have downloaded V5.6 and authorised it to my new DELL Studio laptop, which has an Optiarc DVDRW DL drive, 4Mb RAM and a 500Gb hard drive nearly all of which is free, so there should be no space problems.Having compliled my PtoE slideshow with music, I then select Burn to DVD. The program goes through all of the steps OK, but when it gets to start burning the disk, the program hangs.There is nothing showing in the progress bar and the two time labels remain at zero. There seems to be some hard disk activity, but 30 minutes later, still no progress.The program does not give a C++ error message about unusual termination (which I have had on my descktop), When I try to cancel I get the dialogue box asking me if I am sure, I say yes but the program does not close.I have to use Task Manager to stop the program, which is showing it as 'not responding'. Even then, there is a greyed out image of the program left on screen and I have to restart the computer to clear it.This happens every time I try to burn a DVD, I am using good quality Verbatim disks.Any ideas please? I have several orders from friends for DVD's and I cannot supply them.McAfee reports the 'imgburn' download site as UNSAFE, so I cannot install the suggested ISO burn software. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.I have created an ISO file, can anyone recommend a reliable software package I can use please to turn this into a DVD.

nobeefstu Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Monobod,Your PC being brand new may be part of the issue ... as VideoBuilder is always updated to include a new libray of equipment. You may want to try the current Beta release of PTE which has newer library files than that of v5.6 to see if you obtain better results.This post here pretty much addresses the main issues encountered when using VideoBuilder to burn DVDs. See if any of the issues apply. http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10133&view=findpost&p=66130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Check how much free space you have on your C drive, depending on the size of your show you could need up to 10gb free.Yachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
