Often this is an easy to make error. When you render the video make sure you select the option to render the entire video and not the preview range only.

I am having to answer this from memory as I am currently at my workplace and not in front of my own machine.

When you you render the file it asks you to give it a filename etc.
There is an "Options" checkbox. Select this and I think you find it there.
If not unless anyone else has answered before I get home I will check for you later.

Spider
Share Tab
Create Video file
Select a template eg PAL DV 16.9
"Create video file" Pop up appears
bottom right of pop up "Options"
Another pop up appears, Top options are
"Entire project" or "Preview Range"

Steve's point remains a valid one. A common reason for faults in the burning process is following the wrong procedure. The recommended procedure is outlined in the top sticky post on this Board. To summarise, you should NOT be going straight from the project in the timeline to the burn module (Share > Create Disc > DVD) which it sounds as though you are doing. INSTEAD, you should use the preferred method which is to first produce a DVD-compatible mpeg-2 file (Share > Create Video File > DVD). Once you have this file, close your current project, and then click Share > Create Disc > DVD. This will open the burning module and also ensure that your current project is not automatically loaded. Insert the DVD-compatible file(s) instead. Make sure you click on 'Do not convert compliant mpeg-2 files' in the little cog-wheel icon in the bottom left of the burning module screen. Add your menu, chapters etc, and burn either the DVD itself or produce a disc image or Video_TS folder if you intend to burn more copies later.

If you are not using this method, then the wide experience here is that you are asking for trouble.
