Hello,
I've been using Ulead for about 5 years now and I've burned lots of DVDs without a problem...until now.
For some reason, Ulead isn't burning the second clip onto the disc. My video is...
Black crossfade to Video Clip 1 then crossfade to Video Clip 2 (Video Clip 2 was just cut from Video Clip 1 and given a different in point.) So it's even the same video clip.
Black and video clip 1 are the only things that get burned onto the disc, even though the preview in Create Disc shows the entire project file normally.
I've rebuilt the project from scratch and no change when burning. I've even tried using Add/Edit Chapter to try and get things going as a last resort and that was a no-go too.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

By the sounds of it, you have been burning successfully for five years by NOT using our recommended procedure. I am assuming you did your editing, then jumped straight to the burning menu (Share > Create Disc) and using the project file which automatically appears in the burning module timeline. Am I right?
Don't get me wrong: many people do this all the time successfully. But the recommended procedure was developed precisely because this process never worked for a lot of other users, or only worked erratically.
Have you tried, instead, after inserting your colour matte and transition(s), and finished your editing, going first to Share > Create Video File > DVD. This will convert your project into one single DVD compatible mpeg-2. And when it is finished, you can play it back, either in VS or in a third party software DVD player to see if everything is there. If it isn't, then come back to us.
But if that new mpeg-2 contains both clip 1 and 2 and everything else, you save your project. Then open a new one. Don't worry about giving it a name -- the objective is just to clear the timeline.
Then you go to Share > Create Disc, to open the burning module. There should be nothing in its timeline. You then insert your new mpeg-2 into the burning timeline, make your menu and burn. Also, make sure 'do not convert compliant mpeg files' is ticked in the middle of the three icons in the bottom left of the burning screen. You should not have to adjust any of the properties in the burn module.
