Hi


Your Error is = Error -1712 errAETimeout Apple event timed out.


Something takes too much time.


My Guess is that Your last iDVD project got corrupted one way or another. I would

• Re-Start iDVD - BUT THIS TIME - keep alt-key down during Up-Start then select to do a Brand New iDVD project.


Just to get out of this locked in situation.


You may also try - Trashing iDVD Preference file (can also go corrupted)
