    Desperately need help creating an iDVD photo slideshow...!

    Hey all,

    Normally I can figure these things out for myself, but this one has got me stumped. I'm creating a wedding DVD slideshow for some clients (for the first time), and I'm using iDVD to do so. I have it all working great, I set the transitions to match the music length so the slideshow and music ends at the same time.

    Now here's the problem:

    I have the transitions set to "dissolve," which I prefer. When I test it on the computer, it works great. Very smooth transitions etc etc. However, when burned, no matter what DVD player I play it on, the transition is smooth EXCEPT just at the end of each photo's fade in where's there's a noticeable brightness change "jump." I hope this explains things well enough. I've tried burning it again, to no avail.

    Does anyone have any tips on how to make this play back properly on a DVD? The audio is smooth, and the images are smooth fading in except for that last second where the fade becomes a "jump."

    Thanks for any help you can offer! I'd like to get this DVD out in the next day or two, so all help appreciated!
