GRRR! "There was an error during movie encoding"
I can't seem to compile and burn a DVD to save my life with iDVD. I have a video that I created and exported using iMovie and two shorter ones created in Photoshop CS6 — all three are the same encoding: 1920 x 1080, H.264, AAC, Color profile: HD (1-1-1). The one exported with iMovie is a .mov file and the other two are .mp4 files — none of them with any sort of copyright/permissions protection on them.
iDVD previews them all just fine, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to try and burn a DVD it gives me the above error message, "Encoding Video: There was an error during movie encoding" which tells me absolutely nothing. This might not stress me out so much if it were just a personal project, but rather it's for a friend's wedding that I shot and iDVD's failure to do a basic thing like encode video is really ticking me off.
I tried to localize the issue by trying to burn just the .mov file and then just one of the .m4v files — and have found it chokes on m4v files. Why is this so??
If I'm doing something wrong, the error message should give me a little more feedback than just "oh there was an error."
