IDVD crashing due to Keynote exports?

Question

I export 5 Keynote shows directly to iDVD. Each one is approximately 10-20 slides and have a complete soundtrack with them. After initial export/import into iDVD they play fine. When I preview them immediately following export they play fine. It is after I save and exit that the trouble begins. When I re-open iDVD at least one of the exported-from-Keynote shows will sporadically crash the iDVD. It is rarely the same Keynote show and sometimes will play 1 or 2 times then crash. I have tried exporting and burning the iDVD before exiting from iDVD but that doesn't work either. I'd rather not make QTs of the Keynotes and import to iDVD due to loss of quality and the hassle with the sound.
I've looked through other postings here and find similar but not identically the same probs with Keynote/iDVD.
I am using all updated programs and a Mac Book Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Peace,
Jim

Answer 1

j/c .... what happens if you make a disc image from the file menu within iDVD6 of this keynote project > iDVD?
I've also read on these forms that some folks have better luck exporting to iMovie and then to iDVD6 (even tho Keynote presents the option to go directly to iDVD).
Might be worth a try.

To quote a prior post from Brian Peat:
You have to use either iMovie or the QT Pro player to add the audio into the QT file that Keynote creates when you send a file into iDVD. You basically, export to iDVD, close iDVD and save, then find the QT reference movie that Keynote created and open that in the QT Pro player. Then open your audio and select it, switch back to your video, put your playhead right at the start and choose to ADD it (don't just paste, it won't work). Then either save your movie as is if you're just simply going back to iDVD, or do a save as and make it self contained. If you do this second option you'll have to RE-ADD it into iDVD as it won't be the same movie, it'll be a new copy. Using the first method might give you what sounds like TWO audio tracks playing at once, but it should burn okay in iDVD as only one track.
Hope this is helpful and good luck ....
