i'm having problems with idvd 5. the app keeps hanging during the pre-burn stage. it always gets stuck somewhere along the encoding video stage. i cannot enable the background encoding option because my dvd is about 80-90 minutes in length. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!

sorry about the double post, i can't delete the other one :p

what type of video files are you using?
if you use other source files does it also get stuck?
can you convert/re-encode/re-capture the source files to see if they are damaged and causing the problem
if you have toast can you try burning a DVD with them there and see if that works?
