Video not allowed to export

I'm trying to compress this video for a DVD. The audio compressed fine, and I have a file of that, but the video compression always ends, and says Failed in compressor. It won't make the file. I'm trying to create a file for DVD using the Best Quality 90 Minutes preset.

The video itself is a mix of DV and HDV footage on a DV NTSC timeline.

I'm doing everything exactly how I normally would, but its coming up as "Failed."
 
How long is the video? If it's not too long, try using the export "Quicktime Movie" option to something like uncompressed or prores. If that works, then launch compressor separately and try it with that file.
 
Hi Joe, Did you update your OSX or FCP version recently? Did you add any hardware or software to your computer recently? What versions are you running?

There could be a corrupt file on the timeline. I ran to a similar issue several years ago and found out that a still image (1 of about 200) was the culprit. Are you able to export chunks of the video?
