What are your system specs, especially your video card?
What you are describing seems to be video card related. You card is unable to handle some of the transitions (mostly the 3D transitions) you are using. You can try switching to software rendering if currently at hardware. Go to Tools/Options and toggle the software/hardware option. You can also run the video card test while there.
What program are you using to burn the DVD? Hopefully it's myDVD and not DVD Express.
Another option is to first "burn" to a Video_TS folder set or iso (image) file and then use Video Copy & Convert to burn the folder or iso file to the DVD. This separates the rendering and burning into two separate processes which seems to help in some cases with DVD burning problems
I don't understand why the video card would cause this problem. I have an onboard video card with the motherboard. When I convert burn the file to a Video_TS folder and then use video copy and Convert I get the same results. I can preview the video and it looks correct. When I begin the burn process, under the burn project, and watch the encoding movie process shows the frames as they process. Every other frame is black after a transition. This is exactly what shows on the DVD after the disk is completed. I have never been so frustrated with a program as this one.
What else could you recommend?
Thanks for your help.
