Hi, all.

Using iLife 4 - Some confusion over the new interface but looks cool.
Anyhoo --

Did a simple transfer of a wedding video from tape to computer using
iMovie. Set up clips, did minimal trimming, etc. When I hit the new iDVD
button and tried to select multiple clips to become a chapter, the results
were unpredictable. So I just opened iDVD, selected an open screen, removed
the "Chapter List" button and dragged the Quicktime  movie directly into
the interface. All seemed well and the preview behaved as expected. Hit
"Burn" and, when instructed, popped a Memorex DVD-R blank into the
Superdrive. (BTW - 1gig Ti Powerbook, 1 gig RAM, OSX10.2.8)

It futzed all night on stage 3, Asset Something, then when I got up this
morning, it was on Stage 4 - Multiplex and Burn. It's been there for 4
hours since I saw it. The video is 37 minutes long. I've had good results
with these blanks before, so don't think that's the problem.

What do I do? Halp! ;-)
