Q: IDVD movie stops short
My idvd movie dvd's run around 25-28 minutes out of 38 and locks up for about a minute, then goes back to the start menu. This was a Final Cut Express video exported out with quicktime movie to the desktop. It plays through all the way through with no problem. Next, I opened the idvd project on the desktop and played it all the way through. No problem. I've started over and re-done everything four times and get the same problem. Restarted the computer too. I've made and burned maybe a hundred videos and never had a problem like this. Any ideas?

Could be a problem with your blank DVDs or burner.
Have you changed the batch of blanks recently?
Burning at high sped can also lead to unreliable DVDs . . . set iDVD to burn at the slowest speed or at least no faster than 4x
Note that some third party DVD players can have problems with computer burned discs.
