[MacDV] Can't render/encode my iDVD project - Can't burn project to DVD

[Robert L. Vaessen]

Jim -

Once again thanks for the info.

I don't know where you get the 'make a pizza by mashing up a pizza' 
analogy. I have a iMovie project that I want to burn to disc. I can't 
seem to get it to work.

I've read a gazillion pages worth of instructions as it is (Yes I've 
read through the instructions for the iDVD tutorial as well).

Yes I can play a DVD.
Yes I can make a data DVD.
Yes I can burn a CD with iTunes.
I am having no other system/hardware problems.

I didn't realize I was one revision behind on iMovie. Software Update 
never prompted me to update it. I don't think the problem lies with 
iMovie, as I am past that point. I have a playable iDVD project that 
will not render/encode properly, and I can't figure out why. I will 
attempt to upgrade my iMovie.
