I have included a short intro clip before the menu, and then the main movie. The menus, chapters, etc all function flawlessly in preview. When I go to burn to DVD, the intro clip encodes effortlessly, then the main movie seems to take forever, and when it gets to 99%, the program just closes, no error message, no nothing. I tried just having it render to a file folder instead of burn to DVD and got exactly the same result. I tried just the simple "create a DVD" with no menus or chapters, and it worked ok. I am running XP pro SP3. I have really had a great deal of difficulty with the stability of this program, ie; frequent hangs etc.
Any suggestions? I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

Speed is dependent on your CPU, video set up and memory and whatever other things you are running at the same time. Don't read e-mail, play games or other while this is going on.
In MyDVD, go to the top menu, select tools, options and put a dot near software. Choose to encode to an ISO file from the burn dialog. When the ISO file is complete, copy it to a DVD using Video Copy and Convert.
What music have you added to the project? Format and where did you get it?
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Tried selecting software over hardware and saving as an ISO...same result. It closed when it got to 99% encoding of main movie.
The music is a 16 bit 48mHz wav file 60 seconds long. (from Digital Juice royalty free collection) I do have options as to how it gets rendered...I could do it as an MP3 or whatever I think.
I tried to burn a disk from the iso, but it was "unreadable" either by computer or dvd player...
Antivirus it off...this is the only application running in the foreground. (I have shut just about everything else off...)
I appreciate the help. Any other ideas? This has me talking to myself...

Does it work without the music?
You cannot specify how music gets rendered with regards to wav or mp3 - it all gets rendered to the same which I believe is wav. Any mp3 audio gets converted to wav before its used.

I would love to give that a try. How do I delete the audio file from the menu? The only reason that I put this music on was the default file sounds like a funeral dirge...
Thanks!
Thanks!

In myDVD, click on Menu then Remove Menu Audio

Thanks for that. I deleted the menu audio, but unfortunately, I am still having the same issue. The intro movie encodes fine, but the main movie gets to 99% encoded, and then the program just disappears right off the screen in the blink of an eye, no error message, nothing.

How long in time is the whole production? Since it works without menus then there must be something about the menu it doesn't like. Have you tried a different menu style?
