I used the "Start Scan" on my DV tape then after the scan i picked one of Theme templates (General 11 it was called) then burnt my movie in Compact mode on a 4.7GB DVD-R disc so it would fit.

After the disc was burnt i put it in my dvd player and it worked

But the music from the theme that i added from the "Theme templates" was repeating itself over and over till the very end of my movie in a never ending loop.

I think that is one of the drawbacks of using the DV-to-DVD Wizard - it picks a bit of music and then has to keep repeating it to fill out the video.

To gain the benefit of the ease of use of the DV-to-DVD Wizard and also to have some manual over ride, try the Movie Wizard instead. It is very similar to the DV-to-DVD Wizard.
At the end of the wizard you will have an option to open it up in the Video Editor. This will nicely lay out your clips, titles and sounds on the video editor time line where you can now alter things yourself.

You get the ease of use of the wizard, plus the power of the Video Editor.

I will give it a try on my next DV rip.
