IDVD 5 quits on me!

Question

Hello,
iDVD quits on me after rendering the movie and I think it's because of a Quicktime slideshow I exported from iPhoto with music.
I thought it was the HD going to sleep... but I made sure everything, displa and HD is set to NEVER sleep!
Could it be that iDVD5 does not accept QT slideshows with music because of the DDRM? ( VJK, I do own the song in the slideshow ;-] ) The song is imbedded the QT file. I did not want to use the slideshow from iDVD, because it limits to 99 photos, and the other slideshow is already made and not need to re-assemble all the pics together again!
Is there a feature in iDVD5 that would quit when it tries to render the QT file with music in it??? I have burned DVDs with iDVD 3 & 4 without this problem.
Might have to go back to iDVD3 or 4!!

Bengt,
I could not use the export, because the file was already in a QT format. So I did use the drag and drop over the iDVD window.
I discovered that it was not because of the movie that quitted iDVD but a Quicktime slideshow with music exported from iPhoto. I created a new project with the QT file only, and as soon as iDVD started to encode the QT file. it quit every time.....
So I imported the QT file to iMovie and use the project file.mov to drag and drop into iDVD5 and suddenly iDVD5 was able to encode. BUT the hick, was that iMovie removed the disolve transition create in iPhoto. So the slide show has not more transition between the slides.
MAybe that is why iDVD 5 was quitting. iDVD 5 did not like the dissolve transition. In iDVD, 4 it was never a problem. I have burnt many QT slide show.
I somewhat solved my problem finally this morning.
Thanks for your help!
