When making a DVD it completes and verifies with no problem, but about two thirds through playing the picture it freezes the picture but the DVD keeps reading until I stop it. This is on Windows 8 and this software worked fine on Windows 7. I upgraded to Windows 8 and it has not worked correctly after the upgrade. It plays fine in the videopad's preview window but not in any player I have even on the PC that made the DVD. I tried it on 3 different DVD players.
