[MacDV] Re: Buffer Underrun in iDVD

[sb]

Are you using Best quality?
Are you using Background encoding?

Check the Status Tab and see if all your movies have completed encoding
(DONE) before you hit the burn button, if you are using background encoding.

If you are using Best Quality and not background encoding, try to Archive
your project and then quit iDVD and open up the archived project and burn
that.

 regards,

 sb
