	I put together a movie in FCP Express. I imported clips into FCPE from my DV camera, then imported an iMovie to make one large movie. I exported it as a FCP movie and imported into iDVD to burn it as a DVD. The clips all show up, I can watch the movie in preview mode, but when it tries to encode, there is an error about half way through. Now I cannot re-open the project, cause the clips are suddenly missing, as are the media from the iMovie project (which I do not have the original DV tape, it is in Japan with my Brohter-in-law). The FCP movie is 12+GB in size, can still be exported into iDVD, but just not rendered. Any suggestions??!! Thanks!
