Finally, after a traumatic 2 months trying to produce a DVD, the moment of truth came when I activated Preview. Guess what nothing happened! Details of Chapters, and their titles appeared in the Project View, and so I expected to see details of the film in the Preview Pane. All that appeared was inky blackness. The DVD Controls pane would not work. Roxio EMC 8 For Dummies (Pages 320 to 322) makes sound so easy! My project does not want to let me see it. How, folks, to I get to get this to work before I go to burn? I uninstalled/installed Roxio EMC 8 so we are working from a clean slate. My hard drives have been defragged so all should be well. Over a period of weeks the system has frozen and messages have appeared saying that Videowave has encountered a problem. I had hoped that Uninstalled etc would have solved the problem. Can anyone help? Needless to say the Help facility does not solve this problem- nothing new there then.

Dear Grandpa,
Thanks for your advice. Have taken steps to get the video drivers updated. Perhaps that lack also explains the great time things take when I am adding chapters and chapter titles etc.
Regards,
Barry
