iDVD ejects disk during multiplexing and burning

Having burnt many DVDs previously, I have suddenly started struggling.

Having edited in FCE HD v3.5.1, I export to Quicktime and then build the dvd as normal in iDVD.

The project has no errors and then I burn it using Verbatim 16x certified 4.7GB/120 min Advanced AZO+ DVD-R disks.

During Multiplexing and burning (with between 1 and 3 mins left, it ejects the disk saying saying done but nothing is burnt.

To try to remedy this, I have set the burn speed to both 2x and 1x. I have also turned the computer off, removed all cables and battery, held down the power button for 10secs then rebuilt and retried. Still nothing.

I saved a disk image but I don't know how to then make that into a burnt dvd. Any advice on that would be appreciated but moreover, I'm sure I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to burn a dvd - Mac's should just work shouldn't they.....?!

Just want to report that I am experiencing this same problem and am quite frustrated with it. It seems clear this is a bug that arrived via an update -- I've burned innumerable DVD's in the past, with different brands, etc, including the one I'm using now.

Am trying the "save as disk image" workaround now, but this should not be necessary. C'mon, apple . . .
