Man this sucks!!! Ok let me tell you what happened.
I started playing around with iDVD2 and decided to make a DVD and test it out on my player. I spent 3 hours putting together a little project and went ahead to burn it. It was around midnight at that time so I decided to go to sleep and wake up with my new DVD. I was pretty excited before going to sleep, only to be dissapointed when I woke up because the first thing i noticed was the disc was NOT removed from the machine. Weary eyed, I looked at the monitor and saw that the status bar appeared to be complete. However the time remaining was still 140 minutes! So something went horribly wrong because 7 hours had passed but the compuer(ti superdrive) would not finish the project.
Now the weird part. I closed the project. Then this big white window pops up. I couldn't copy the text word for word because the computer froze at that point.
Within the text box, the computer says 'you need to restart your computer using the power button...' anyway it explained this in four languages. English, french, (unknown?), and japanese. on the bottom of the window box it had these numbers.
--00:0A:95:66:BF:B4 12.235.092.193-----
In the middle of this white box there was a faded grey 'dial' logo like the one we all see during the grey startup screen before osX loads up.
Well after I restarted the computer, I ran disk repair to be safe. Only during the middle of disk repair it happened again!!!!
I restarted again, and ran repair again and it didn't happen. But I'm really worried now that this can happen at any point in time. At the same time I've been having all types of kernal errors and crashes related to that.
So do you think my computer is screwed up? I really hope not but its definitly not right. I'm planning on starting from scratch and reinstalling osx.
Thanks
