Mitch,

Thanks for investing so much time and energy to help me. I finally got my project to burn to DVD. I did this before reading your last message, so I didn't try those steps.

What I did was to replace every PSD with a JPG. I also resized some of the larger JPGs. Then I rendered every individual sequence before rendering the main sequence.

Then when I burned the DVD it was successful.

Unfortunately, I used the wrong standard (PAL instead of NTSC). But I burned a second, and that worked as well. (I expected the settings to be "sticky," but apparently they are not.)

I can't help thinking that there must be some sloppy memory mangagement for PPro to choke on Photoshop files. I can understand it taking a long time to process these files. But I can't understand why it should ever cause an out of memory error, especially in the burning phase.

I'm glad to be able to get my project to DVD. But it is frustrating to have to convert all those files to get it to work. Now if I want to make any changes, I have to find the PSD, open it, make the changes, and then save to JPG.

That Adobe considers this acceptable boggles my mind. These are simple Photoshop files. One of them had a transparency applied. But that is one of the selling points of PPro, being able to use native Photoshop files.

Thanks to all who took the time to help,

Rod
