idvd does not sync when burning to dvd

I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX, FCP 7 and iDVD 7 or 8 (it's burning now, so can't confirm). I have a 64 minute video (that includes motions, etc in iDVD. I exported the FCP to QT movie using the default settings. Everything remains in sync in FCP and iDVD. When I burn to a disc, it goes out of sync about half way through the movie. I have searched for solutions in the support community but things I have tried do not work.

I have one more question, but I may have to go to FCP community. I export to QT with default settings. Is there another way to export that does not compress so much?

Thank you for your help.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Sorry my mind slipped me.

But still same goes for FCP

BUT - FCP has a function (that I used a lot) - It can reconnect and localize lost/moved material.

Still I first collect all material in a separate Dedicated folder - but with FCP I use to store this in the Folder I prepared for the Movie Project --> then I set all Scratch disks to address this folder.

And all collected and easy to find and manage (I even do a copy of this folder to a second hard disk as Back-Up storage - then disconnect this for safe keeping)

I use FCP (6) - NOT FC-X Pro just in case.

Yours Bengt W

So, I re-imported all my raw data onto a new hard drive. The 1st 8 minutes has a yellow trianle exclamation mark and the rest does not. I import it all the same clip so how is 8 minutes off-line and the other 60 minutes has a green check mark. Every time I reconnect to the links, it keeps saying the file is missing, I find it, reconnect and it doesn't fix it. Thank you

For those reading this thread, I figured it out. Too many chapter markers in my hour segment.
