Up until this weekend, I was able to burn a Video Wave project to DVD using MyDVD.  Now when I try to burn a project, MyDVD gets through encoding, but then just sits there.  I have let it run over 10 hours and it still does not write to the DVD.  There is no error or nothing - the project just seems to hang up.

I have tried recreating the Video Wave project, re-installing my Roxio 9 software, applying all the upgrades - same thing.  The project gets to 97% complete and then just hangs there.  

Any ideas on what else I can try?   This is very frustrating as this worked last week.  This project is larger than the project I did last week, but it still fits on one DVD.  

HELP!!

How long is your project in time?

What are your system specs and what OS are you running?

There is an update available for the full retail version. Have you applied that update? Read the instructions carefully if you do apply the update.  You mentioned applying updates but then you also mentioned Roxio 9.  Which version do you have or do you have both version 9 and Creator 2009?

In Video Wave, output your project to mpg2 for DVD best quality.  If there is a problem with the slide show, the project will hang.  Note when/where and you can fix it.  If it encoded, take it into MyDVD, and use that mpg2 file.  When you go to burn uncheck the normalize audio (I think that is still and options) and burn to an image file (ISO) only.  If it finishes, you can copy that file to a disc using Video Copy and Convert or Creator Classic.

Come back and let use know if you were successful or where you are still having the problem.

Video Wave only let me save it as a dmsm file - not option for MPG2.   The video wave files consists of still images as well as some small video files and music.

I save an ISO file, but when I copied that to a DVD disk, it would not play in a dvd player.  Said the file was not recognized.

I tried video copy and convert and it didn't even recognize an ISO file as valid for copying.  

Any other ideas?  This is truly frustrating.

sknis did not say you should save in Videowave, he said you should "output as mpeg2". Those are completely 2 different operations. When you "save" in Videowave all you are doing is saving your project file, that is, you save the list of your source files, the diting you have done, any transitions or effects applies, etc. The saved file does not contain any video at all.
When you choose "output" you will be actually creating a video file which can then be added in myDVD.

I don't know how you copied the iso file to the DVD but if you simply copied as a data file, then of course you DVD player will not recognize it. You have to select "copy image file" when burning to DVD.
