Can't burn...hanging on "Burning Lead In"

A few weeks ago, I had a few DVDs hang up on "Burning Lead In" process. I was able to work around this by burning the prepared Video/Audio_TS folders in another program. Recently, DVDA is always hanging up on the Burning Lead In phase, and I get error messages when trying to burn the prepared folders (or content pulled from successful;y burned DVDs) in a third program.

I've burned other media and previously prepared DVDA files in another program, so media problems and DVDR drive problems are not the case. For some reason, any project I create in DVDA now doesn't burn directly and causes errors in third-party burning programs. Any insights would be appreciated.

so for some reason only recently rendered DVD's from DVDA aren't finishing any program, but anything else burns fine (old and new)?

that's a strange one. First off I'd rry re-installing DVDA, just to see if there's a small glitch somewhere.

FWIW you might want to try the advice of reinstalling DVDA as that could well be the quickest & easiest first step... Otherwise I'd suggest narrowing down the problem a bit. Does a newly rendered DVDA project on your hard drive work in something like Power DVD (i.e. a software DVD - not just media - player)? If so, DVDA may not be the problem -- if not, then will another DVD [newly copied or created in DVDLab trial etc] play from the same hard drive? If neither will play fix that first, checking software, hard drives etc...

If everything plays fine, will everything burn fine [probably to RW]? If DVDA created, playable DVDs won't burn, how about a copied or DVDLab trial created DVD? Again that should tell you if the problem is isolated to DVDA.
