Jim,
I’ll try to answer one step at a time…
If a render completes, then the movie is saved. It depends on where you pointed it to save to. Otherwise it would go the default set by the program. So your movie was there somewhere.
“Attempting to burn a HD movie in standard format from a sony HD camera”
What is your input format and what are you rendering as? Please give us precise info or we can’t help. Downconverting from HD to SD will take some time.
We have nothing concrete to go on even after so many posts.
Cheers for now,
