I have a Macbook Pro with OS Leopard, 2Gb, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, iWork 08, iMovie08, iDVD08, Garageband, and an external Verbatim hard drive. Using imovie08 I have edited old videos that I brought in with a DV camera, have shared the finished movie project with the Media Browser, put chapters using the Garageband, and am now trying to make a DVD. All my media files, except the photos that I have used in the Garageband chapters, are on the main (local) drive. First I received the message: "Exceeds maximum content duration. Change the encoder setting in the Project Information Window". I did that by unchecking "Auto Normalize" in the Garageband preferences. When I sent the movie to iDVD it started the rendering process, asked me to insert the DVD disk (4.7 GB) which I did, continued to render for a few minutes and then stopped with the message: "Error during rendering/encoding". It then brings the Finders screen which asks me to eject or use another finder file. I have tried the help section and also the Apple's forums but have not found an answer as to what causes the error and how may I resolve it. I will appreciate whatever help I can get so that I can finish the project. I may add that this is my first Apple computer (I have had atleast six PCs in the past and have presently two that I use all the time) and I purchased the Apple specifically for its reputation as a very good video editing and publishing computer. So far the editing part is very good and much better than the window based editors I have used, but I am stumped by the error messages that do not offer me any advice on their solutions.
