when I try to make a dvd from a video ts folder it compresses the file and then is says it is preparing, but it won't go any farther than that. I have created dvd's using this method before, but all of a sudden it stated freezing every time it reaches the preparing screen.

It's possilbe the DVD burner went to sleep while waiting for the encoding to be completed. I suggest choosing Save as Disc Image from the Toast File menu instead of clicking the burn button when there will be a long encoding process. When the disc image is completed you can burn it to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window.
