When I try to use MyDVD 8 to create a disc, it gets hung up right after I hit the Burn button. The "Burn Project" dialog comes up, but the progress indicators never budge beyond 0%. When I check the Windows task manager, I can see that VideoWave8 is not using any CPU time. I have let it sit there for over 2 hours with no change.
Oddly, I can hit the Cancel button on the Burn Project dialog and return to MyDVD.
I have tried everything I can think of: using software rendering instead of hardware rendering, turning off the hardware acceleration used by the system to varying degrees, trying different screen resolutions, turning off anti-virus auto protection... nothing makes the least bit of difference -- the result is always exactly the same.
It's a bit strange, because I can burn a disc successfully using the Disc Copier application (in compilation mode).
I really thought that when I ran across the suggestion (in this forum) to turn off the virus protection while MyDVD was running, I was on to something because I hadn't thought of that. But of course that didn't make any difference.
My system is a Pentium 4, 2GHz, with 1 GB of memory, running XP SP2 with all the latest Windows updates. The video card is an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, with 128 MB of memory. The burner is an HP 635i.
I bought the video card specifically because it met the requirements listed on the Roxio site for using MyDVD 8. The card has support for DirectX 9.
I have tried creating a very basic project also, with just one movie, and no sound on the menu. Again, the results were the same.
I have posted a message to Roxio support, but they haven't seen fit to get back to me yet.
Has anyone encountered this particular problem? Is there a workaround? I downloaded the so-called "hotfix" that I saw mentioned here and on the Roxio site, but I haven't given that a try yet because of some of the comments that I've seen posted here... I'd hate to muck things up to where I can't even burn a DVD using the Disc Copier application.

Have you tried saving to an image file (ISO)? It's more likely to work than burning directly to disc.

Oh yes... that was one of the first things I tried. The symptom is exactly the same. I should've mentioned that in the original post.
