Extraneous Code? Error Message in Encore

I have previously burned edits directly to DVD - without menus. As yet, I don't want to create menus, just play out my edit to DVD. I also posted some of the following to the Encore discussion forum, but thought someone here might have had some insight into the problem that developed.
I did burn one DVD which was not an overly complicated edit at about 20 minutes with no complications, however, I'm working on an edit of 1 hour 1 minute and 43 seconds (and 7 frames) and can not get it to the stage of directly burning a DVD from Premiere. When I did try twice to create directly from PPCS3, I looked at an intermediate -file file which also stopped at about the same spot as describe in the attempt outlined below.
So, I made an AVI movie, and attempted to process it through Encore directly.
1. I set up the project based on the "timeline" selection (I couldn't figure out how to import as an "Asset", but "timeline" allowed me to bring in the AVI movie.
2. Transcoding of the AVI movie, though slow, was completed.
3. In checking the project, I'm told an "Untitled Project" has no "Title Remote not set". (Desiring to only burn the edit, without a menu, I chose "Ignore and Continue".)
4. I chose to "build" a DVD as DVD disk- The "Build Progress" box took a long time to pop up.
5. I received the following error message: PGC "The Dispute-ASL has an error at 01;01;39;15. internal software error %0, line The Dispute-ASL - PGC Info: name = The Dispute-ASL, ref = Bpgc, time = 01:01:39:15" and did not burn the disk.
6 I looked at the Premiere Pro CS3 edit and could not see any extraneous portion of editing in timeline, but then, I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Any collective wisdom or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, Mike. I made the timeline as large as possible, and I could not find any empty frame.
What I did find at the very same exact location and frame referenced in the Encore error message was the end of an avi + audio clip. This is the last clip of the edit. I had unlinked the audio from the video, removed some applause from the music, and relinked the clip with shortened audio. On the Audio clip I put constant gain crossfade at the end. I guess I should try removing it and just smooth out the clip by adjusting the track volume. (???)
Because of a short deadline and the holidays, I played out an AVI movie, and successfully rendered 62 minutes to DVD in another, older programme, with no problem at the point in the movie said to be in error. Earlier, running it through Encore had produced the error code, you may remember.
But I'd still like to get to the heart of the matter, because I will still have to use this edit in another situation, but would like to know how to fix this problem for Encore, since it has Dolby, subtitles and I can manually adjust various streaming rates, etc. (I would also like to try out Flash, although I still prefer Quick Time in h.264 resolution. But that is another story...)
Thanks again, Best Wishes in the New Year. The forum and its participants, and the expert gang are a great group to be appreciated.
