Thanks for the response. Yes I can ceate a iDVD project but when I try to drage any audio to the little audio box or in the area where the images show up in the order you want them, I get the spinning beach ball. I let it go for over 15 minutes then forced quit iDVD. The other issue is when I successfully create a slide show of the size I'm doing and use mp3 audio and burn it to Maxell DVD-R and watch it on my mac 9GB ram it's soft and it stopes for about a second 5 different times throught the show. When I watch it on a set top DVD player I get the same issue but with this message 48khz 16bit.
No I haven't trie setting the quality lower than Highest. I'll try that now but I wish I cpould import a higher quality audio file than mp3.
