problems on MAC mountain lion/WM Fusion

Hello all.

I recently moved from PC to MAC (Still not very happy about it to tell you the truth). I downloaded Final Cut but I didn´t like it so I got Fusion WM to run Windows on my MAC and installed Vegas studio and DVD A.

I worked as usual with both of them editing videos and authoring DVDs.

2 Weeks ago I updated to Mountain Lion and today I worked an a wedding video I shot last weekend.

Vegas was flawless, as was DVD A. But as soon as I clicked on MAKE DVD, the computer rebooted. I tried again and again and all 3 times the same thing happen. I clicked on MAKE DVD and the computer crashed.

Any thoughts? I hope you can help me. i don´t have the PC anymore and need to finish this DVD to deliver it to my customers.

Thank you

DVD Architect and Sony Vegas are Windows applications. Other OS and third party applications are explicitly unsupported.
If there is someone with the exact situation as you, they "may" respond here.
I wouldn't hold my breath.

Programs that run virtual versions of Windows within the Mac OS operating system are only able to use a fraction of your system's hardware -- since you're essentially runnning one operating system on another operating system and running your programs on that. I sure wouldn't recommend running anything as intensive as a video editor on a VM or Parallels OS.

My recommendation? Boot Camp, which has the option of booting your Mac into a full version of Windows. I use it, and it works like a dream. There's nothing virtual about it. Your computer is a full-blown Windows computer.

But VM and Parallels are crippled versions of Windows. They nearly always choke when you're really pushing the OS.

Thank you all.

The problem started when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Before that I never had a problem with either Vegas Studio nor DVDA.

The thing is, looking in the internet I found many treads about the same thing, DVDA crashing computers when the MAKE DVD tab is clicked. The problem is, none has a fix.

DVD Architect did not "crash" your computer. It was never designed to run on it.
Anyone I know who is successful at it is running Bootcamp, as mentioned.
You would do better to ask your question on a Fusion or Mountain Lion forum.
