Thanks for responding, Lazyboy.  I will take a screenshot.  Meanwhile, from memory, it something like" burn process has been halted, encoding error"  I'm running the new Magix Pro 17 on Widows 7, burning onto a DVD- disk.  If this helps, what I do to get around it is I first export to the move to create an mpeg file.  I then open this mpeg file as a new project and burn from there.  It burns fine when I do this, but a real pain as it's an extra step I need to perfom every time.  Creating files and burning takes long enough already.  I would appreciate any help you can give me.  I know it has something to do with the audio and doing an audio clean up before hand doesn't help either.
