If you are "sharing" from iMovie4 and you have placed an audio file in one
of the audio tracks and this audio file has been "trimmed", then you may
not be able to "share" it in any format... (i.e., email, homepage, video
camera, iDVD, etc., etc.)

For some reason, when an audio clip is trimmed, when you restart the
project, iMovie4 claims that the entire audio file does not belong in the
project.  Upon reopening the project a window appeared and I "move to
trash" the file in question and everything worked okay after that.

Did the Superdrive partially burn the disc ?

In iDVD4, my discs(DVD-R / DVD-RW) are not touched, after several hours of
"burning and multiplexing".

I have previously used DVD-RWs to test.  If it is a successful burn, I
copy the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders and burn a new disc in Toast and
then just "erase" the DVD-RW to use again.
