It would certainly help us give you some meaningful advice if we had some equally meaningful information about the video you are processing, where it came from, its properties, how it was captured; your exact work flow and your computer specifications...

Its just a basic monie that i filmed with my digital camcorder for work its about i think 20 min long i have got subtitles and begining titles and credits at the end with music that i put into it and that is about it besides a count down timer and scrolling text

As Ken says, this could be for so many reasons. Are your capture, render and burn properties the same? Does this happen at the render stage as well as the burn stage? Are you trying to burn out of the timeline? What are the specs for your computer and are your video drivers up to date? Do you have background programs running? Are you being thrown back to the Desktop or is your system crashing? Does the computer crash using other programs? The list goes on. The forum can't answer your question without full information. It's like e-mailing a Doctor and saying "I feel ill. What's wrong with me?"

I am not sure if my capture, render, and burn properties are the same. I have not changed anything if that helps? It happens as soon as i start the burn proccess so i think that is at the beggining of the render stage and it wont get to the burn stage cause my dvdrw drive never gets the chance to start doing what it does best. It is not crashing my comptuer just the program so i just go back to the desktop. mt video card is up to date and i know the program works because it works on my desktop

i dont really have back round programs running other than like my virus program etc nothing serious like games or anything.

When in doubt, read the top sticky post containing Recommended Procedures. Essentially, though, it advises you to

1) Capture in DV/AVI format where possible;

2) Do all of your editing as far as possible in the same format;

3) Once you are finished editing, go to Share > Create Video File > DVD to produce a DVD-compatible mpeg-2.

4) During this step, make sure you select appropriate project properties including Field Order (essentially, if you captured from a digital video source, use Lower Field First; but if you captured from an analogue source, use Upper Field First; and if you are doing a slideshow of still images, use Frame Based).

5) The other important quality factor is bitrate: for highest quality DVDs, use 8000 kbps. This will allow you to burn about 1 hour of video to a single layer (4.3 GB) DVD. 6000 kbps will allow around 90 minutes of video in good quality; and 4000 kbps will allow 2 hours of reasonable quality video.

6) The final factor here is the audio codec you use. LPCM will give excellent quality but creates large files, so you will fit less video on a disc if you use this audio format. Dolby gives a very much smaller audio file, so you can fit up to 10 or 15 minutes more of video per disc if you use Dolby. Mpeg layer 2 audio gives similar small sizes to Dolby, but is not part of the NTSC DVD standard, so will not necessarily work on all NTSC DVD players.

7) Once you have produced this mpeg-2 file, and ONLY then, go to Share > Create Disc > DVD, and in the burning module, insert the mpeg-2 file(s), create your menus and burn. Make sure the burning properties are exactly the same as those in your mpeg-2. Otherwise, the program will try to render the file again, as well as all the multiplexing of video and audio, creation of menus etc, all on the fly, which is a big ask for any computer. This is very likely to cause some loss in quality and also open the possibility of problems such as those you appear to be suffering.

8 ) When burning, only use a maximum burn speed of 4x, regardless of the rated speeds of both your burner and the discs you are using.

After upgrading from VS9 to VS10+ I found that VS10 did not pick up any of the settings I had in VS9. I had to go back and re-enter them in VS10. This may assist.

usually i do not mess with anything when i burn the movie. I am recording the movie form a canon mini dv camera so i do not know what kind of file it defaults to but i have never had any trouble burning a movie from it. And i assume i am doing all my editing in the same format? Again i do not change anything so unless something automatically changes i belive i am editing everything in the same format. But i still can not figure out why i the program crashes on my laptop but works fine on my desktop.
