rendering never ends

I have been trying to render a 1hr 50min movie in Vegas 5.0 using the DVA template with a lowered bit rate to fit the movie on one DVDR. When it begins rendering the estimated time keeps climbing and the percentage meter takes forever to climb off of 0. I rendered yesterday for 23 hours and finally realized that it was looping. When it finished the length of the movie it would start over again. I have made sure that the loop feature is not turned on but this doesn't help.

I rendered the movie a few days ago using the Vegas DVDNTSC template and it didn't loop like this. The total render time was about 6 hours. Unfortunately the file was too big for one DVD. Since I switched to the DVA template I can't get it to render without looping over and over (never ending).

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
