Hang Me, Dang Me

[Scott C]

Anybody know why Sonic MyDVD 6.0 hangs while...

 

- "building preview display" (either when I double click on a video file on the menu to edit it, or when I import an existing file (to string together several video clips)

 

- "building movies" (when I click "burn," the process hangs at the end of the blue "building movies" status bar

 

 

Other info:

I only work with AVIs from my digital camera.

I have a brand new computer with 2 GB RAM, 1.6 GHz Intel Celeron processor, 250 GB HD.

I have no other programs open while I'm burning (or trying to burn) DVDs.

I installed Sonic as the first software on the computer after formatting the HD.

I had this SAME PROBLEM with my 4-year-old computer (512 MB RAM, 120 GB HD, slow processor).

 

MyDVD is perfect for me when I can get it to work, but infuriating when it doesn't. I have to restart the computer (exiting the program from the task manager doesn't solve the problem; as soon as I go back into the program, it hangs again) to do any more editing and pray the DVD will burn and not hang while burning.

 

Thanks for any input!
