I need some help from any iDVD users.

I made a DVD slideshow set to music and burned it to a DVD. When I play it in the DVD player on my TV it gets almost all the way thorough before all of a sudden it just stops and the screen goes blue. I didn't see any problems during the burning process, although my Limewire did pop open and I closed it (I assume when it was verifying the music for the slideshow). When I play it on my computer it woks fine.

Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? I burned it two different times and both times it quits in the same place.

How big is the project? What particular brand disc are you using?

Might want to try and burn again. Try and close all open applications. I tried burning a DVD while playing around with the computer and the DVD didn't work that well. I tried again with nothing else open and it worked. I think the mac needs all the ram it can get when burning

Did you make your VIDEO_TS folder on your hard drive first, to make sure it was properly assembled? It's always best to do so, then use DVD Player to make sure there's not a problem with the assets.

Only a newbie to the forum but come across your problem before myself. The issue is that iDVD can only support 99 slides (1 photo = 1 slide) to a menu, so if you put all your photos one after another rather than in sub menus, this is probably the fault. What i have doen before is break the slides down into manageable chunks (chapters). iDVD can cope with up to 99 chapters (i think) each containing 99 slides (each photo is seen as a separate slide). Hope this helps if you are still monitoring the thread.
