I installed DVD Movie Factory 4 (the downloadable eval copy) after having problems with DVD Workshop 2 (which came with my computer).
I am trying to make a dvd and when I select AVI files, (450mb/44minutes of video) I'm told by MF4 that 2 of these is more than 4.38 GB and thus would not fit on the disk. When I converted them to MPG first I was able to select 4 of them. However when I started the project, it then wanted to reconvert them. At sometime around 3 hours it started the "burn" process, yet for the next 3 hours nothing happened. The clock continued to count up, but nothing else happened.
At this point, between this and DVD Workshop 2, I'm very frustrated.
6 hours and... nothing

yep, loads of us have this problem when it comes to the burn process, it just hangs at some point...
as i just said in another post, the way i fixed it was to not burn directly, but to create an .iso file, then go and burn the .iso file after...
pretty poor really, but i found it worked okay till they hopefully fix

I would un-install MF4 trial version and re-install Workshop2.
Then apply the updates to Workshop2.
The file you are trying to load may or may not work because it's a
highly compressed Mpg4 type of file.
Converting them doesn't always work usually because of the audio
used.

It's on the Output screen (the final dvd burning screen).
Click on the arrow on the right hand side and the additional
features for burning will appear.
You can also create a dvd folder on the harddisk and playback the
dvd folder using "WinDvd or powerdvd or ulead dvd player".
A dvd folder on the harddisk is the same dvd structure written onto
a dvd except it's on the harddisk.
Using the software players on the computer you tell the program to
"Open dvd folder on harddisk".
You can write both an ISO file or a dvd folder to dvd using ulead software
or another program like Nero.
The nice feature about creating a dvd-folder is you can test the
dvd before burning it.
Hope this helps,
