I have been unable to get the program to author a DVD(MPEG-2), or DVD file for burning later, or produce a MPEG-2 video. DVD attempts always lock at 20% with no error or indication of any problem other than after time (as long as 10 hrs waiting at 20%) the project does not progress. MPEG-2 files complete but either don't play at all or are blank. I tried just 7 pics in timeline using PD12 Magic Movie Wizard and though all is well on the timeline, it locked at 20% for DVD production (never got to burning process) and when attempting to produce a MPEG-2 video from the same timeline, produced a 56sec blank video with no sound as MPEG-2 file. All projects play fine as edited in the timeline. Have installed all patches from Cyberlink site. Using Win 8.1 Dell Inspiron i-7 8GB RAM 1TB HD. Suggestions?
