ok so i have made a 19 minute video with still clips, and video, and audio in imovie.. It looks beatiful and its finally done.
i go to file and share and share with idvd.
it renders, and opens it in idvd
i place in a new blank DVD -R Staples brand ... make the theme thing, and set it to burn.
it starts out ok..
i get to step 2.. the rendering of the slideshow and whatever.. and it just stays there for like 30 min..
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i need to get this burned by march 5th
van anyone help?
what is going wrong?
 
What is your system? I found that iDVD would crash sometimes on my 1ghz G4 when rendering some projects.. letting it render in the background before the actual "burn" process began seemed to decrease my chances of crashing.
 
Well, what kind of mac? An iMac, or what? What model of iMac?

To render video assets before burning, just let it sit for an hour or two. It automatically renders in the background.
 
Welcome to MacOSX.com!

Keep in mind that iDVD will likely take a long time to create a DVD. Like, hours. You can find out the exact model / specs of the Mac by clicking of the Apple menu (blue Apple in cornero of screen) and clicking on "About this Mac".

That will show the processor and memory installed. Click the "More info" button for . . . wait for it . . . . . . . . . more info.

One more thing to do. Go to the Apple menu and click on Software Update. Check to be sure you have the latest version of iDVD, etc. This may not be available if your school machine is managed by your technology people. They may need to do software updates.
