Preview OK but Movie video stops before end

I created a 29 minute movie, video and photos. I wanted to be able to view it
on my TV using my DVD player. It played perfectly in the Preview window. I
saved the Movie File to My computer, specifying a folder. I chose the high
quality video (NTSC) format. I burned the result to a DVD-RW using Roxioâ??s
MyDVD. (All of this I have done in the past with no problem.) When I viewed
the movie on the TV, it worked fine up until about half way through the
movie. It then stopped advancing, though the counter on my DVD player kept
advancing.
I then returned to the folder on my computer where the completed movie was
stored and double-clicked. Media Player started playing the movie but then
stopped at the same location. Media Playerâ??s counter kept advancing.
I deleted the movie and made a new movie from the same project. This time I
looked at the final product using Media Player, before trying to burn to
disk. The result was the same except that the point of stoppage was
different. The audio from the video clips could still be heard.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks.

Maybe you are using some incompatible
source files...have a look at the following

Thanks for rthe link. I'm surprised about the possible difficulties with JPG.
I've made several movies that combine both avi and jpg and had no problems.
What's still puzzles is that the first time the problem happened, the video
stopped at a JPG, but when I remade the movie, the second time it stopped at
an avi clip. If nothing elso, I have learned that I should view the finished
move in Media Player before burning to DVD.
