Video won't burn or save

[Jennifer in Ohio]

I have a video that was created in videowave and I am trying to burn to a DVD but once it goes past the initialization stage nothing happens and the program stops responding. I have tried this on several occasions. I also cannot save the production as a video on my computer as once it starts to render nothing happens. I really need to get this video done and I have another one to do, but don't know what else to do.

Ah, the famous "My car won't start" post.

 

You posted in V9 forum so that a hint; what version? Did you buy it or did it come with a computer or piece of hardware?

 

What computer hardware do you have? What video Card?

 

When you say video from VideoWave - do you mean slide show, a video file that you downloaded, purchased, or did you start with a file on a camcorder, DVD, CD, TIVO or ??????

 

I'm too old to do much guessing. If you really want help, you must post a whole lot more information. This forum is not like a chat room where you have lot of give and take. Users of the forum are people with experience with the program. They are real people who work but not for Roxio. Posts and replies may take hours if not days. Everyone has projects they must do!

What are your system specs, especially video card? Are you running the latest drivers for you video card? the latest DirectX? What you describe is often a symptom of the system not being able to render because of video hardware and/or driver problems.
