Disc Burning

Can anyone help me? I have just recently bought Sony Video Studio 6 Platinum Edition. All has gone very well except I find that no matter what I do, I am unable to burn onto DVD. I have captured and edited everything in Vegas Studio. Then I let it render before sending into Architect Studio. That's where everything goes downhill. I appear to have the correct files in the left hand window, so I press make movie at the top. I then press prepare. From there I do not find it particularly clear as to what to do next. I have tried continuing with the burn by entering the right file pathway to my project in the "prepare to folder box" without any luck. I have also just gone with the file pathway that is already in there when it first appears, with also, no luck. I then generally get a window pop up saying that "prepare was successfull". I then press make movie again and this time the burn button. I have then tried both options, "prepare current project" and "use previously prpared project" finish and burn. My E Drive does fire up at this point, but nothing happens in the two burn progress lines on screen, they both stay at 0%. Strangely, the approximate time left numbers don't receed, but speed upwards. Then I wait and I wait for sometimes ten minutes or so. Nothing burns and eventually I end up cancelling the whole thing... Any help would be most welcome indeed... Many thanks.

This happened to me on my first burn. Also made the DVD-R disk no good when this happened.
My problem was other software installed on the computer that also uses the dvd burner. I found that Software such as Nero InCD, Roxio DLA, Ulead, Roxio Drag 2 Disk can cause this to happen. You don't have to un-install their complete programs. Only the packet writing part of the program or disable it.
I would also check to make sure your dvd media is compatible with your dvd burner.

Removing the conflicting packet writing software fixed my problem and VMS burned a good working dvd.
