Nick, I followed your advice and it is an encoding problem.
Since this is a new project I have not burnt many DVD Musical Albums 
yet. Since there is roughly 5 hours of music on each I haven't checked 
them all for defects. The reason I found it on one album is because it 
was right at the beginning. Subsequently I found the same problem on an 
other one.
I have several questions:
1) How does one avoid bad encoding?
2) Is Toast the only game in town for DVD audio burning?
And more later.
TIA
