Seq Header Duplication error when trying to burn dvd

I am using DVD Studio Pro 4
Mac OS 10.49

I imported a 36 minute QT video edited in FCP to DVDSP. When I try to burn a DVD, I get an error message that reads, " Seq Header Duplincation. I cannot figure out the problem.
Incidently, the 30 minute DVD seems to contain 7.4 GB on my hard drive, but DVDSP converts it to 3GB automatically. Does this sound customary?

Thanks,
Schoff

Acually, found an answer by googling the question.
Encoding must be set below 9Mb. When set to 7, the problem goes away.

Any other insights as to the actual meaning of Seq header Duplication error would be of interest.

This is not a true statement I have tried this and it still wont burn. I've never had this many problems with an apple product in all my life, Compressor doesn't work either and even before I upgraded to Leopard. I am truly hating FInal Cut Pro Studio 2 right now...

ocfilmmaker, I hear you. I am trying to run DVD Studio Pro on my new Mac Pro under Leopard and I am having nothing but problems. It always worked fine on my G5 iMac. First, it won't recognize my DVD burner (there have been several posts about that) and now I'm seeing the "Seq Header Duplication" error, with no further explanation. My video is already encoded. I don't know whether it is the Xeon, Leopard, or the latest build - but this thing is useless right now.
