Exporting a quicktime movie

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with exporting a project so I'll just give all the details and hopefully someone can recognize the problem. I recently shot a wedding in 24PA, captured with advanced pulldown removal, and edited on a 23.98 timeline. I exported the final sequence (made up of individual sequences laid down in a timeline with chapter markers) as a quicktime movie and burnt it in iDVD. Everything worked fine, except the motion was a bit choppy which I'm assuming is because I exported it at 23.98 and iDVD can't burn 24P DVDs. I made a couple minor changes to the project that the bride and groom wanted, and when I try to export it now as a quicktime movie (using the standard DV ntsc 48khz) setting, it repeatedly only exports the first 38 minutes. It doesn't give me any error messages, but when I view the quicktime file it ends at the same point, mid clip. On the timeline, there is nothing in that clip that is different than before, and nothing at that point that might be out of the ordinary (transitions, effects, markers, etc...). Can anyone think of a way I might get around this? Thanks.

iDVD is definitely to blame for the choppyness. It's compression doesn't handle movement well at all.

As far as the 1st 38 min is concerned forgive me for asking a simple question. Do you have an in and out point marked on your sequence for just the first 38 min?
 
Haha, yeah, I forgot to add in that I had tried with no in/out marked, then tried with in/out marked at the beginning and end, both with the same result.
