After many years of trouble-free use with Vegas V12 and DVDA V6 on various Windows versions up to 10, my oldish PC died and so I acquired a new one which came with Windows 11 already installed. Both programs have installed on this new PC ok and V12 works really well like it aways did. At first I thought DVDA was ok. I can set up a project, make menus etc and preview the result - no problems. However, when I now click on the "Make Blu-ray Disc" button the program freezes and "(Not Responding)" appears on the title bar. Anyone have any good ideas for a fix???

@JackyBoy Try Options/Preferences and in the Burning tab click/unclick "Use legacy disc drivers"

Thanks Eric for an idea. Unfortunately it makes no difference either clicked or not. Any more ideas?

@JackyBoy  ... This suggestion is a long shot ... DVDA needs an older version of .NET Framework installed and this version is not automatically installed with a Windows 11 installation. Why I call it a long shot is that the absence of that old .NET Framework has, in my experience, prevented DVDA from installing in the first place - but you've obviously got it to install. Anyway, go to 'Programs and Features' in W11's 'Apps & Features':

... then click on 'Turn Windows features on or off':

... and then make sure that '.NET Framework 3.5 ... etc' and its immediate two subfolders are checked (no need to check or change the sub-subfolders)

As per @EricLNZ's suggestion, I've also had to uncheck 'Use legacy disc drivers' in order to get a DVDA 6.0 export to occur. Otherwise, DVDA 6.0 has worked fine for me in Windows 11.

For me DVDA7 installed without problems on Win 11 and appears to be working normally. But I haven't, as yet, burnt any discs. I usually create an iso and burn outside of DVDA. My external ASUS Blu-ray burner is recognised by Win 11.

and then make sure that '.NET Framework 3.5 ... etc' and its immediate two subfolders are checked

I've just checked mine and they were on. I don't recall manually having to add them.

Thanks Dexcon for taking time with screenshots etc. I checked and I have all versions of .NET from 2 to 4 installed. It seems I must have a different Windows 11 version than you, since the Settings screen is different and I only have 'Apps' not 'Apps and Features'.

Here's my Apps window:

My Windows version is 24H2. Perhaps you and EricLNZ have different versions??

I should perhaps say that my problem is not with burning. I just cannot make the .iso file. Click on the Make Bluray button (or the same function in the File menu) and DVDA just stops. Also, I have DVDA V7 which behaves exactly the same.

@JackyBoy  ... It looks like Windows 11 have changed the layout since I did that screenshot a while back. Anyway, there's another way to get to the 'Uninstall or Change a Program' window.

In the taskbar's search field, type in Control Panel and then under the Programs heading click on the 'Uninstall a Program' link, and that will take you to the 'Uninstall or Change a Program' window:

@JackyBoy Yes I'm still 23H2. I haven't been offered 24H2 as yet.

@JackyBoy Presumably you've tried playing with Compatibility?

Hi guys! Interesting news from yesterday.

First I installed DVDA on my wife's laptop running Windows 10. Copied my files over and could get into the Make/Burn function ok. I made the project and got my .iso file. Since the laptop has no bluray writer, I needed to take the external one, which I had to get for my new PC, and plug it in. Now DVDA behaved like on my new PC as described above - stoped when I clicked on Make Bluray. So I unplugged the writer, restarted DVDA and went through to the Make/Burn window. There I selected Burn and on the screen where you choose the writer to use the list of writers was, of course, empty. Now I plugged in the external writer and after a short delay it appeared in the list. !!! Functions like Eject and Load worked and I was now able to burn the disc.

So, it seems like the problem has nothing to do with Windows 11 but more with the writer, maybe either because it's connected via USB or something about this particular writer - Panasonic BDR-UD04 1.14.

Anyway I at least now have a solution, with only slight inconvenience.

Thanks again for all your inputs. Have a nice day!

@JackyBoy

Hi

. . . . something about this particular writer - Panasonic BDR-UD04 1.14. . . .

Is this the archgon branded burner appearing as the above drive name on the computer?

Mine is actually Verbatim branded.
