Hi all I've had a superdrive in my powerbook for 2 years now but I can't seem to master the art of creating DVDs - I wonder if anyone can spot where I'm going wrong: 1. edit movie in iMovie 4 [the last one I did was 21 minutes] 2. use the 'Share' menu and choose iDVD 3. iDVD opens - I select a template, format the screen, and drop in the appropriate movie 4. I preview it and it seems fine 5. I put in a blank DVD [no special brand but seem to burn okay with data] 6. iDVD gets to Stage 4 but never finishes - left it running for 6 hours on the weekend and came back to discover an error message [can't remember what it was - doh] I did read that you need twice as much disk space available as the movie you're burning. I'm quite close to the exact double - just less - so thought that could be where I'm going wrong? Any suggestions and/or foolproof instructions very welcome.
