Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 I've had various crashing issues with DVDA 5.2. Just installed 6.0 and can't even open a project without crashing. Never had an issue before Windows 10. Am I the only one?
I'm on Windows 7 Pro, but I recently had a project that appeared to get over the 32 bit limit. Except for that one project, I made seven Blu-rays last month with little incident.
My decision not to run Windows 10 was intentional, as was my decision to use DVD Architect 5.2.
Have you tried right clicking on the executable and changing the compatibility mode? Might be worth a try.

I have not. I'll give it a try. Just tried version 5.2, 6.0 and 7.0 and all of them crash when I try to copy/paste a freaking button. Have had various other issues as well including being unable to open saved projects.
Just tried compatibility mode but it does not help. A simple project I just authored will not open (hard crashes everytime). Total garbage software...
That's kind of messed up if that's true. I'm still 6.0 on a Windows 7 machine and no problems whatsoever. For me, I have two systems, my old and new. The old is reliable and I know it runs; the new has the latest everything and of course, not everything is running smoothly. I'm a big proponent of not jumping ship until I know everything is running okay. I will have to try DVD Architect on my Windows 10 machine. I haven't test it yet.
Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 I've had various crashing issues with DVDA 5.2. Windows 10.
I'm using DVDA 5.2 under Windows 10 for quite a while without any problems. I'm producing BD-ISOs with FHDi30/50 content with DVDA and convert it to 1080p30/50 BD-ISOs with my GenP50BD tool.
DVD Architect 6 was a notoriously problematic version of the program. Version 5 worked fine -- and version 7 works great for me.
But version 6 was created pretty much to allow for 3D BluRay discs -- and I (and many others) had all kinds of problems with it.
I'd very much recommend either going back to version 5 or, better, stepping up to version 7.
I have been using 5.2 on Windows 10 on two computers since Windows 10 was released with no problems. I know this doesn't help you, but I don't think it is a DVDA problem.
5.2 on Win 10 works fine for me. Been running it for at least 2 years.
Thanks everyone. I believe I have solved the issue. I was using a layered PSD file as a menu background. I've done this many times in the past but perhaps there are too many layers or there is something with Windows 10 that conflicts. Anyway after saving the image as a PNG and remastering the DVD I can copy/paste buttons and save/reopen the project without issue.
So the various crashes were caused by one graphic? The Windows 10 upgrade was just coincidental?
I never had issues using PSD files in Windows 7 so I'm thinking it may be an issue only in Windows 10. No windows 7 computer left to test.
I have found DVDA (v7) just refuses to run properly on my dual Xeon, dual AMD 7900 HP Z800 but works very happily on my Thinkpad Helix 2 tablet/laptop hybrid... Odd and frustrating. Both are on Windows 10 but obviously a tablet is not the best choice for rendering/disc making tasks! DVD Architect seriously needs to be updated to a 64-bit application...
