I'm wondering if your iDVD acts the same with burning a DVD.

When I get to "Stage 4: Multiplexing and burning ...Time remaining: less than one minute"

It usually takes a long time, but it does take the time one would expect it to take to burn the disc. ie. it will take 30 minutes for disc that's almost half full.

Is this faulty 1 minute message the same for everyone? Just wondrin'.

I don't have much experience actually using iDVD, but I think that is a pretty common thing. There is a Mac-themed comic strip in one of the Mac magazines here in Japan, and I recall one of them took up this very issue, rather humorously as I recall... So I would say that there is some serious funkyness going on with the timer.

I burned 3 DVDs a few days ago using an 800mhz iMac and had the same experience. I didn't find it particularly frustrating at the time because I wasn't in a hurry, but it did seem odd. I wonder if it has to do with the kind of media that we're using. I was using Fuji DVD-R at the time.
