There was an error during LayerBreak handling before formatting

I keep getting this error message when trying to burn a DVD in iDvd. I have iDvd 2009. I have been able to burn copies before while using iDvd 2009. I have attempted to delete the /Users/marianhunt/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist

I'm not sure what to do next. Please help!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Are you burning a dual layer DVD? It sounds as if there is a problem with iDVD trying to determine where the break between layers should be.

If you are not burning a dl disk, you need to reset iDVD's preferences to the single-layer option.

Ever manage to solve the problem? I can't seem to fix it either. It has nothing to do with the DVD though as whether you try burning directly or try creating disc image, I get the same error. I am thinking possibly it has to do with the fact that I put transitions between each photo as once I changed my movie with that preset is when I could no longer burn a disc.
