Mitch,

Thanks for sticking with me.

I just tried again with Optimize Stills turned off. The results were the same.

As before, it went through the encoding process, then the assembling process and then got hung up in the burning process. I haven't ever seen it get to the point where it accesses the DVD drive (not since I started having the problem).

My machine has 4GB of memory. I read somewhere that PP 1.5 can only recognize 1GB. I thought the 3GB switch was only for PP 2.0.

The numbers I gave earlier was for total memory usage. I watched the Task Manager for the details on PP this time. It started at 1GB (calculated by 1,000,000 KB). The usage slowly increased until it was about 1.19 GB. At the beginning of the burning process it jumped to 1.2 GB.

I haven't made any hardware changes. The only changes that I have made to the project are to add a few more stills and to make some edits. I haven't added any filters.

One of the things that makes this so annoying to troubleshoot is that I must go through the encoding process every time to see if it will get past the burning stage.

As a test, I burnt a data DVD with Sonic RecordNow. That was successful.

Thanks again,

Rod
