Just a shot in the dark. 1. It takes about 5 hours to render and burn a 1 hour show to DVD. Be sure and give it time. 2. Pinnacle Studio 8 and Pinnacle Studio 9.4 sometimes get corrupted. Try Uninstalling studio 9 completely, clearing the registers with "RegCleaner" or equivalent and going into C:\Program Files and removing "Pinnacle." Then reinstall everything. That just may fix it!
