Start by listing what optical drives you have in your computer, what process and program you used to burn the photos to a DVD, and what you are actually trying to do.

How are you burning the photo DVD to the disc - Drag 2 disc, Creator Classic or are you making a photo slide show?  Unless those omages are really high resolution, I'm surprised that you need a DL disc.

i made a photo slide show using roxio creator 8 video wave,the pictures are high resolution,this has been before with no problem . i moved two pictures and the problem encoding preview started.

Just curious. Are you using the slideshow assistant in video wave? If so, what transition? I've been trying to solve huge skips in a recorded dvd when I am able to get past encoding preview errors.  Last time I tried, I got encoding preview errors on the first two tries - on the third try it recorded. I think there might be something to the reordering of slides in slideshow assistant that lobotomizes this software. What happens when you don't reorder slides and try to burn? Same result?
