Can't burn DVD in Archetect 4.5 Build 107

Architect 4.5 Build 107 will not "Make DVD". "Not Responding" is my message above the tool bar. The timer shows but nothing happens. Everything freezes up. I have to quit Architect. I have tried to burn a DVD multiple times and with two different projects. I was able to burn a DVD with the trial version I downloaded. I am unable to do so with my purchased Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro. Help!

What are you using as your DVD source files?

Are they DVD-quality MPEGs exported from a Vegas project?

Not all video formats work well in DVD Architect. Video taken directly from Flip cameras or still cameras, for instance, might cause problems.

Thank you for your reply.

The original source is the Panasonic Lumix FZ35 producing AVCHD Lite video files. I made a movie in Vegas Movie Studio and exported the files from there to Architect. This is the same source and process I used to produce a movie in the trial version that presented no problems.

When taking the videos I had my camera set at 1280x720 pixels 17 Mbps with an aspect ratio of 16:9 with 60p (sensor output of 30fps). The audio is stereo. Do you know if any of these variables could cause a problem? In setting up the movie output specs, are there any choices I should be careful to be sure to make given my original camera settings?
