getting an unhelpful error message.<BR>
Steps:<BR>
capture photos<BR>
assemble album (198 slides)<BR>
add music<BR>
make slideshow of album... no problems so far, previews and plays great<BR>
"Share" & "Send to iDVD" (settings: wipe-transition and repeat music)<BR>
"Exporting Slideshow ... " appears to run and complete OK (takes 15 <BR>
minutes)<BR>
iDVD launches<BR>
Quit iMovie, ensure no other applications running<BR>
Customise<BR>
Supply blank DVD<BR>
Creating, Prepare, Process Menu, Process Video, Encoding video...<BR>
Then, after an hour, Message: "Burning Finished" "There were errors <BR>
during the burning process"<BR>
Clicking Ok gives another message "there was a problem during <BR>
multiplexing/burning"<BR>
<BR>
The DVD is still blank.<BR>
<BR>
------- this has happened three times in succession -----------<BR>
<BR>
So what happened?<BR>
Any help appreciated<BR>

I do all my slide shows using imove HD and don't have a problem going to iDVD from there. Couple plus's when using iMove is you have more control over what pictures come up during certain words in a song (move pictures, shorten or lengthen time of a picture) and chapter markers are very handy on a DVD as well. One thing to note: When using iMovie it I </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><B>think</B></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"> it must remain open until burning is over.<BR>
<BR>
If you're unable to correct your issue you might want to try using iMovie rather than iPhoto.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT></HTML>
