[MacDV] Pioneer DVD Burner 106D Problems

[Marilyn Cristiano]

Dear Mary,

Thank you so much for your advice.  It worked!

I went to the Other World Computing web site and found a support phone 
number.  I spoke with a technician who solved my problem in two 
minutes.  He had me go to System Preferences and click on Energy Saver.  
Then, he had me put the sleep mode on never.  I did so, and I burned my 
30-minute iMovie in iDVD. 

I did have one problem though.  I ended the movie with a one minute dvd 
movie clip that I shot with my Canon ZR 10 camcorder.  The picture and 
the audio (talking) are out of sync.  It is not out of sync when I play 
it in iMovie.  Any insights on that problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who responded to my question.  I am greatly appreciative!!!

Marilyn
