I'm trying to put together a little wedding movie/slideshow for some friends and everything goes great in iMovie, but when I try to burn in iDVD, I keep getting this error. I did search previous posts, but didn't see anyone w/ errors just like mine:

The recording device reported the illegal request:
Buffer underrun (0x21,0x02)

Any idea what this means? I'm trying to burn an under 5 minute movie on iDVD. It's basically a slideshow with a whole lotta Ken Burns effect. The process (steps 4&5) takes HOURS (8 approx), and then I get this error. The dvd burns, but when I watch the movie, while the sound continues, it stops on the same still every time and freezes, never showing the rest of the movie. What does it mean by "illegal" and what is a buffer?

I have a 17" iMac G4 (800MHz). Is this a memory thing? Like my computer just gets overloaded at some point?

Any help would be much appreciated. (I know lots of people run Toast; I don't have it and getting it isn't an option right now as I'm currently broke).
