ok,

for some reason it actually worked this time.

after about 28hours rendering time on my laptop for my 85min, it completed successfully.

this is what i did;

i firstly rendered my pics as a separate avi file.
then removed all of them and imported the avi. -still crashed!

then i pressed the remove all unused media button, to clean things up. Still crashed!

then i changed my DVD video rendering settings from 2 pass to 1 pass (to save rendering time) – still crashed!

then finally i read somewhere else about specifying my saving location of files. so i checked that little square at the rendering option page. and it WORKED! i think, because my hard drive is partitioned, i only had 5gig available on the C, although i had 20gig available on my E drive. so maybe my temp rendering files went to the C drive and not the E drive where i was saving my mpeg?

not sure if this is the reason, (as i kept all fx and remainder of pics in the film), but it WORKED!

it’s got everything in it, jpegs, sony fx, music, sound fx, text…and the obvious DV files.
