I have created a DVD project in MyDVD. When I preview it, all works fine, but when I try to burn it to a file or a disc I get problems. When I press "Burn disc" in MyDVD, a new window opens and I see the "encoding preview" where the first film in the project shows in slow motion. After 2% of the encoding is finished, the movie disappears and the encoding speeds up. When the encoding has reached 20%, the picture comes back, but the encoding stops. I can wait for several hours, but nothing happens. I may press cancel and return to the project. If I don't press cancel and let the encoding run overnight, the program seems to crash. Do anyone have a solution to this frustrating problem???

The gray screen you see when the preview disappears means that that part of the project is already in mpg2 compliant format and there is no need to encode.
My guess is that when you reach the 20%, there is something that the program doesn't like. It could be a transition, music file, effect or a "bad" video section. Look back in the project to find what is happening about that time. You should be able to fix it. In the future, to help trouble shooting of issues like this, create your project in VideoWave. You can output it to a mpg2 for DVD project. It is much easier to locate an issue when that encoding hangs.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Thank you very much! When i looked closer at the original video clips, there was some small errors in it. When removing these errors by clipping, the film encoded without any problems.
