help with dvds

[aimeekitty]

ok... so I'm trying to use iDVD to make a DVD (with a movie file on it) that will run in a normal DVD player.

this usually works easily, but for some reason I'm getting a "there was an error with the menu/animations" each time I try to burn. I have no idea what that's referring to. I tried removing all moving objects/audio from the menu, still get the same error.

iDVD's help program says that any movie file that is quicktime supported should work fine in iDVD. I took an avi, converted it with DIVXDoctor to mov, then that mov runs in quicktime, fine...

so what's the problem?

anyone have any other suggestions for dvd-making-programs and/or conversion programs I should try? Or can you help me get iDVD to work?

*frustrated*

If you still haven't found a solution, my suggestion would be to pose your question at a vidding community like vidding or maybe mac_vidding_101. There's bound to be a Mac user who might be able to help you out. Tech questions like yours get asked all the time, and vidders are generally pretty friendly about that sort of thing. :)

I'll give it a shot! Thank you so much!
