Can't open idvd

when I try to open idvd I get a message can't find file

/applications/imovie hd.imovie project/shared movies/idvd/moviehd.mov

my movie is all set to go but I can't burn it

Have you tried sending the movie to iDVD by clicking on the iDVD button and then Create iDVD Project button?

  • Can't Open iDVD - only spinning beachball!

    I can't get iDVD to open. I've let it sit for 10-15 minutes several times before force quitting. The current project is quite small, so it shouldn't be causing a problem.
    I wish it wouldn't open the last project automatically.
    any ideas?

    Your last project probably is glitched in some way. I have had this happen before. What you will want to do first is to delete the preferences file. Quit iDVD. Navigate to your home directory, then to Library/Preferences. Locate the file called com.apple.iDVD.plist. Delete it. Now restart iDVD. It should come up with no problem.

  • Can't open iDVD project

    Help needed
    I had account for my niece and she was playing with iDVD creating her own projects. After I have reinstalled everything, I created account for her with different name and none of her projects open anymore!
    The error is "Project locked by other user"
    How I can open it?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ramerez:
    There is a file called Project.lock in the iDVD Project bundle that is preventing you from opening the project.
    You can delete it by right clicking (Control/click)on your DVD project and selecting "Show Package Contents".
    Go to the Contents/Resources folder and drag the project.lock file to the trash.
    I think it will open now.

  • Can't open iDVD 4 archive with iDVD 6.03

    I am trying to open a project created in iDVD 4 with iDVD 6.03. I saved it as an archive and transferred it from my emac to my macbook pro. The file is 76 mb so I believe the photos and theme is saved in the archive. When I try to open the iDVD 4 archive with iDVD 6 it either crashes immediately or does nothing. By doing nothing I mean that the archive does not open and the menus are still available in iDVD 6. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Don't ask me how I figured this out because it was really just dumb luck. The problem seems to be that the font I used on the emac and iDVD 4 was not on the macbook pro with iDVD 6. Once I dragged the font across the network it opened up fine. Too bad iDVD 6 couldn't give me an error message telling me that there was a missing font like some other programs do...

  • Can´t open iDvd 6 with any previous project

    Hi, I have a problem, I have been using the iDvd 5 for a long time, now I start to use iLife 6 and I have maked some projects in iDvd 6, and all it´s perfect, but a few days ago I opened a file project to meke a new burn dvd but for some specifications of my client, I had to change of normal to panoramic, and the way I did it is; selecting a diferent theme (background) and then iDvd asked me if I want to change to a panoramic screen or not, I said yes, finally burn the dvd, everything it´s fine.
    But today, I want to use the iDvd 6 again, and when I click in icon, the program start to upload themes, appear the main window in gray (without the project) and "there is no more to do", I only force to exit.
    I I have been trying reloading the ilife6 but dosen´t make a change, do you have any idea? Thanks, and sorry if my englih it´s no good.

    If you update to QuickTime 7.1.2, that will solve the MP3 issue. It did for me.
    but what is this?
    I think you mean the "answered star" when members gain points that way. You'll see members "ranking" on the right-hand side of the main page of each different discussion group.
    I don't do this for stars, but thanks for supporting "the system."

  • Can't open iDVD v7 from iLife 08 on Lion?  Please help

    I just got a new iMac pre loaded with Lion.  I had iLife 08 on my old 2008 MacBook Pro.  I did a custom install with the iLife disk and only installed iDVD.  It placed it in the application folder but when i try to open it i get an error message saying I cant use this version on MAC OS X.  Then it says i have version 7, which i thought was the latest version.  Is it possible to have idvd on this iMac?

    Roxio Toast is great, it allows you to burn DVD's in standard definition and in high definition. However, it is also very bare bones... Many of the features that you may like in iDVD, are missing in Roxio Toast.
    The following developers make some very good iDVD alternatives...

  • Cant open iDVD project or even a new project! So mad about to go to Windows

    Hello,
    I can't open iDVD as a saved project and I can't even go to the window pane that allows me to start a new project because if I open it from the Apps folder, it just opens my last saved project - which doesn't open. Basically it gets stuck and doesn't load the content and beachballs forever.
    I just got past an issue with a bad audio file and couldn't burn it to DVD - I deleted all the audio and reloaded the full songs, then burned a disc image to make sure it worked fine (needless to say, when I double-clicked the disc image, it didn't start up in DVD Player like the "great" instructions say). But now, I can't even open iDVD to do anything about it...this is extremely frustrating and Apple support on the phone does nothing, except ask for $199 for a tech to work with you (are you kidding me?!?!!? I paid $2000 for this freaking machine...I'm close to saying a Windows machine is more reliable...but I won't say that)
    Anyway, any suggestions? thank you!
    Chris

    Hi, I got through most of the burning process - however, it "encountered errors" and didn't finish my burn!!! See below for what the info was:
    "Errors were found during the burning process:
    The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)
    There was a problem during multiplexing/burning."
    What does that mean and why can't I burn this project!?!!
    Thanks

  • Can't open iMovie 6.0.3 (or iDVD)

    I'd appreciate any help I can get - I've looked at all the threads that come up during a search without much luck
    I'm trying to use iMovie 6.0.3 that came with my 4 month old MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo, and it crashes every time I try to start up a project. The console log shows a kern protection failure. And although I don't know what it means this is the "thread" that crashed:
    Thread 5 Crashed:
    0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x90811125 CFRetain + 56
    1 com.apple.MediaBrowser 0x67e01f56 -[MediaGrabberiTunes _loadMusicThreaded] + 733
    2 com.apple.Foundation 0x927f52e0 forkThreadForFunction + 123
    3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x90024227 pthreadbody + 84
    I don't have any more Quicktime plugins (had perian, but now removed), have reinstalled iMovie from the install discs that came with the computer, and have updated everything recommended by Software update.
    The same problem occurs when I try to open iDVD, and it's the same thread that causes the crash
    Thanks for the help!
    Let me know if there's any more info I can provide

    Hi g
    Try this:
    a. free up space on internal (start-up) hard disk to about 25Gb (at least)
    b. start a new account / log into this / re-try to start iM or iDVD
    Did this help ?

    Hi,
    I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
    Exit Code 15
    OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
    I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
    I tried the adobe removal tool
    removing all copies of adobe software manually
    installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
    A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
    /Library/Application Supports/Adobe
    They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
    Cheers,

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

  • Can't open movie file in idvd

    I made a slideshow in iphoto and exported it as a Quicktime movie. Then put it into the Movie folder so I could access it from idvd. But when I open idvd and try to open the file to work with it it is grayed out. And the existing file that I was working on before is grayed out. Anybody have ideas on why I am unable to open these in idvd so I can create theopening and burn to a dvd disk?

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.

  • Can't Open An Existing Project in iDVD

    I've prepared an iDvd project saved it and when ever I run iDvd and select "open an existing project" it just freezes and only gives me the option to "Force Quit". It allows me to create a new project but I can't open my existing one. Can anyone help. I hope I don't have to start it all over again.

    Have you tried deleting iDVD's preference file?
    Close iDVD. Go to your Home folder(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
    Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
    Open iDVD, and see if this problem is resolved.
    If not, try signing on as a new account. Go to system preferences, account.
    If that resolves the problem, then it is not the software. Post back for more assistance with this.
    If neither of these helps, you may have to reinstall iDVD. Again, post back if you get to this point and want assistance with reinstalling. You will need to find your original iLife installation disks, or the Mac installation disks if iLife was preinstalled on your computer when you purchased it.

  • Can't open imovie or idvd

    I've created an imovie file that I put into idvd. Right now I can't open imovie or idvd. I can't even back up these files on a dvd.
    When I try to open imovie, I get:
    Projet couldn't be opened because disk is full, folder is locked or the folder permission are incorrect. If project is on CD-ROM, net server, or locked disk, copy to hard drive before opening.
    If project is on hard drive, then the disk may be completely full or you may have to modify that folder. Correct problem and try again.
    My work is saved on an external hard drive (le cie). I can't open the files on it. I get the same message. There is plenty of space on this external hard drive left.
    What can I do? I can't even back up my work on a dvd. How do I fix this problem. Please help.
    Thank you.

    My guess is that you didn't "format" the new external drive before you moved your iMovie Projects onto it.
    Most drives come pre-formatted for Windows OS's and you failed to format it to work with your Mac.
    Disk Utility app can do the formatting but it will erase the contents currently found on the drive.
