I converted a VHS videotape to dv using iMovie and a Canopus box. In iMovie, the movie plays the entire movie just fine.
Burned to DVD using iDVD and popped it in the other night to watch along with my girlfriend on the DVD player, and the last 3-5 minutes of movie went silent. WTF??
I had had iDVD doing its thing during the night, started it burning and then went to bed. I also have Retrospect doing backups at 3 AM so I figured "OK, not sure why in a modern OS having Retrospect scheduled to do things should impact on an unrelated process, but let's try this again without Retrospect invited to the party". Modified the backup schedule to skip scheduled events. Opened iDVD, inserted DVD-R disk, clicked the burn-wheel, went to bed.
This morning popped in the new disk, launched DVD Player, and checked it out. Sound cuts out in exactly the same place as before!
Short of discarding the iMovie project and starting from scratch, what steps are likely to be useful in preventing this / burning a fully functional DVD?
