"Normalize audio" output not working in Windows 7
When I check the "Normalize audio" box and then start a burn, the burn process hangs right away, at the "Converting audio of the title..." step. If I don't check the box, I can create a DVD that works. Anyone else experiencing this problem with Windows 7?

I'm afraid I don't have an answer, but just wanted to let you know that I have adjusted the title of your post to make it clear to other users browsing this forum that this problem relates to Windows 7. There is a separate sticky thread above on problems with Windows 7, though I don't recall any reference to normalising audio.
That could be because like me, not all that many users find the need to normalise audio. In my entire editing career of quite a few years now, I have only used the facility once or twice, and that was only to see what it did. I always thought it sort of 'flattened' the overall audio sound, and decided I would, instead, be careful in editing the audio as part of the overall editing effort, and not use the function. However, I realise that in some cases beyond a user's control e.g. putting together a wide range of videos from different sources with widely varying audio levels, use of it is merited.
Hopefully someone with more experience of the function (and Windows 7!) may be able to jump in and offer some suggestions.
