I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

I put together about 400 pictures with music into Roxio to create a slideshow video with music and everything.
I am having trouble when I burn the DVD.  It will not burn the menu picture (although it burns the menu music) and randomly skips pictures throughout the video, leaving a black space in its place.

Can anyone help?

In My DVD, when you go to burn, use the ISO file option and nothing else. Let the project encode and then use disc copier to preview the slide show and then copy the ISO to a blank disc.

Since you did not tell us much about what you are doing, here are other suggestions. You computer may not have all the horsepower that you need. What you are seeing is something that users see when they try to encode and burn at the same time, that's the reason for the ISO file.

Update the drivers for your video card and update Microsoft's DirectX.

Did you use any of the 3D or other "special" transitions in the production? If not, set your rendering to software via My DVD top menu, tools, options. This will take care of any shortcomings in your video card.

Make sure that nothing else is running during encoding - Internet connection, anti-virus, anti-malware, e-mail, games, etc. Make sure you have a lot of space on your hard drive , that it has no malware and that it is properly defragged.

Use a good quality blank - no store brands and no Memorex.

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
