Have had more success with burning after I found out that I was probably trying to place menu items at the beginning of the video I was making outside the SAFE AREAS. This is not emphasised in the program’s help or “show me how” routines. To see the areas that you must keep inside (in DVD Architect) go to “View – safe areas” and enable them. Frames will show where you should keep all menu items and actions so that there should be no problems in burning the DVD. This is what I found. Sony only replied with fairly standard responses but it did show that there are newer versions of the program to download if you are a registered user – which I did – and a few other hints.
My problems seem to have been solved by enabling the “safe areas” and I have made a DVD without problems.
