Pinnacle Studio 10 "not responding"

    I am new to Pinnacle, but have created my project including menus, videos, photos, and music.

    My next step is to "make movie" I select DVD and best quality.  The time alloted appears to have sufficient space.  I next click "create", the blue bar on the preview screen say making movie in progress, but in reality...NOTHING is happening :(  It locks up and never makes a movie. 

    What are my options?

     THANKS!

    Unistall it.  Seriously.   I spent weeks in hell trying to use it.   I switched to Ulead's Video Studio and never looked back.   Better software, better price, better performace.

    So what about the hours of editing, can I take the Pinnacle files and burn them some other way?

    What you can try is, creating a DVD compilant mpeg file, then using that in a seperate DVD authoring program.  Or, instead of burning directly from Pinacle to disk, burn the video folders to the hard drive, then make a copy to DVD, again, using a seperate DVD authoring program or the built in burner from within Pinacle.

    I agree with CVP  -- i have been a loyal pinnacle user for years  , but as time goes on , newer version just got worse and worse with crashes  , hangups and  error during rendering for no apparent reason. I have since changed to Powerdirector and i have not looked back  - same basic interface as pinnacle  - hardly ever crashes even when working with movies over 90 min and it render's every time without fail ( for me it has )

    time to bin studio and move on -

    I had lots of trouble with 10. I went back to 9, until 11 came out. I have had no problems with it either.

    Try deleting your menus and just saving all the video , photos and mussic as and AVI file.

    At least you can save your work - I hope

    Get rid of Studio 10
