Jim, Would you advise this in general? That is, if I finish an iMovie4, should I NOT push the iDVD button and instead close down iMovie and bring up iDVD by itself and import the files? Any further suggestions/explanations would be very welcome. I can see this would save space on the boot disk where i process my iMovie stuff and encode in iDVD from an external drive. Maybe that way I won't get the buffer underun 0x2 message error near the end of encoding and burning an iMovie more than 1 hr long.
