I just got a Pioneer DVR-610, and it came with Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3.5. Oddly, windows thinks the drive is a 110D, but that's not the problem. When I open MovieFactory, a list of tasks comes up - burn a movie, a data cd, a music cd, a data dvd, etc. However, whenever I click on a task, the window disappears, a mouse hourglass appears and reappears, and then nothing happens. After this point, my machine hangs up for all tasks. I cannot open folders, I cannot open the start menu - all I can really do is ctrl+alt+del, and it hangs up in that too. After a few power button restarts, I reinstalled the software - no change.

Some odd things to consider - the patch for this bundle on the Ulead website cannot find MovieFactory installed on my machine. Also, when I try to burn cds in media player, I get an unknown error. I only get hang-ups (and consistently) when I use MovieFactory - therwise, my system is practically bug-free. All I want to do is make a CD of 80s b3ats!

Are there any issues with this software that I should know about? Or could it be a hardware problem?

Any and all help is appreciated as always.

I had same problem, but with Nero Vision and Windows Media Encoder. Turned out to be a codec/filter conflict, so I uninstalled all the packs that I had, and siwtched to just having ffdshow and certain individual codecs that I wanted to keep. This only happened when I was trying to open a previously encoded source that I had downloaded.

EDIT: sorry, wasn't that helpful of a post
