And then, at what point would I delete the extra stuff? I'm a rookie iDVD user. I have exactly 2 projects worth of experience in iDVD, and then ended up with discs that stuttered & froze in set-top players about 2/3 of the way thru each disc. Granted, these were on cheaper discs (kHyperMedia). I re-burned one project thru iDVD to a Verbatim DataLifePlus disc and it worked on at least one of the players that gave me trouble earlier. I'm hoping it was just a media problem. -- Randy Clark hawkgx at planetkc.com Kansas City
