[MacDV] IDVD Crashing when Burning...

[Gerhard Kuhn]

Sometimes switching the brand of disk will help.  Recently I sent a DVD 
and the recipient was able to view the first movie but the second movie 
would fail within of seconds of starting.  This disk had been burned on 
a Ritek disk, with which I have had great success in the past, after 
she e-mailed me of this problem I burned the project on 8x Sony media, 
which I had bought to try the faster burn speed of my external 16x 
LaCie drive, she has e-mailed me that the second disk worked for her.
