I have MPEGS from my Sony Click2DVD program (no problem burning DVD's quickly or editing with that but no exciting special effects. I have a Sony VAIO RS500 series) When I set my files up for Nero, create chapters and add Smart 3-D menu file,it indicates that it will take 12 hours to complete. Several times I have set it up and gone to sleep only to find the program frozen. I was able to burn only one DVD so far and that was after an uninstall, clean files and reg, and reinstall. I also tried burning a DVD from click2dvd and using the tso (??) video files from the DVD in Nero and that did not work any better. I have tried burning at 2x. The file I am tring to burn requires about half the DVD, but has about a dozen chapters. This has become an obsession that I don't have time for. Anyone have any ideas? I have my niece's wedding half done and need to finish it very soon. Also I need to stop spending hours on this **###*** program Please!!!!
