Having the text too close to the frame edge was (I believe) the source of the error message for another user.
Since that apparently isn’t the case with your project, I only have one other suggestion. Select all of the subtitles in each subtitle track and change the kerning. Undo the change and save the project. See if you can build without error.

Check to see if any of the subtitles come very close to the edge of the frame. If they do, create more space.
Consider where they were before repositioning them and make an educated guess from that information.

That’s probably why it’s taking so long to render. Dynamic Link requires a lot of processing time, and the links to After Effects cannot use multiple processors or processing threads.
So the AE comp has to be rendered, then the Pr sequence containing the comp has to be rendered, then all of that has to be transcoded for DVD.

Are you using Dynamic Link to link to any After Effects compositions?

You don’t set an end action for the last chapter. When the last chapter finishes playing, the timeline finishes playing. Hence, you need an end action for the timeline that goes back to the menu.

[Wendall Woodbury] “If I pick whip from End Action to the Main Menu in the Project Window OR do the same in the Flowchart, will that do the trick?
Is there anything else to do before trying to Build?”
Nope. You got it. 🙂
Pickwhip from the chapter’s end action in the Properties panel either to the menu in the Project panel, or to the menu in the Flowchart panel, and you’ll be good to go.

[Wendall Woodbury] “I linked the first 5 chapters, as you suggested, by pickwhipping the End Action down to each ‘beginning’ chapter marker (but skipped the last.)”
What I actually suggested was that you link the menu buttons to the chapter markers, not the chapter end actions to the chapter markers. Make sure to link every button to its corresponding chapter.
The chapter end actions should all link back to the menu (except for the last chapter).

On the disc properties tab, set the Title Button control to Main Menu.
Main timeline sets the timeline that will be burned to disc first. This can affect layer breaks and disc navigation via the Play button or the previous/next buttons (depending on the player).

Here’s a screenshot of what your project should look like. I used four chapters instead of six.
