I've tried everything-I still get error during rendering/encoding using iDVD

I have a iMac Intel core duo (2005) with OSX10.4.11 and iDVD vers.7.04, 2 gigs of RAM and 56Gigs of free HD space. I can't burn a 3 slide slideshow to DVD without getting rendering/encoding error. I can't save a Disk Image file nor a Video TS folder. I have tried deleting the iDVDplaylist to trash. I have repaired permissions from install DVD. I have also logged on as new user with same results. I've tried using different themes and I have also tried from scratch using Magic iDVD. The built-in dvd burner works fine with regular files so I am confidant it works OK. This is the first time I have used iDVD and all slides are from the media pane and there are no errors in map view. Can anybody help!!!!

Hi
Did You in iDVD - Turn on TV-Safe area ?
Anything goes beyound this - OR EVEN Touching IT ! ? - It must not.
Titles and Chapter names (on menus) - Only A to Z and 0 to 9 - NO OTHER letters as : - ; .  etc.

  • I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message.  This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac.  I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

    I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message.  I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old.  Obviously I'm using iDVD.  I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem.  A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above.  I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD.  Still the same message came up.  I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened.  This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
    After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened.  They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
    I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had.  The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's.  The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message.  The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page. 
    I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work!  It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion.  I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy.  It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
    I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
    I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems.  Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.

    Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter.  So much appreciated.  And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this).  Although, you may regret asking for more information.  I've added everything I can below.
    The process I used is as follows:
    Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
    Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
    Add title to front of clips
    ‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
    Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
    Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
    Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
    Select submenu  - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
    Change title colours on clips
    Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
    In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
    In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
    Try new DVD discs
    Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
    Change images in drop zones
    Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
    Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
    Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
    Try with one clip and no menu pages added
    Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
    Turn computer off and restart
    New hard drive
    New optical lense (thing)
    New DVD burner
    Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
    Other points:
    I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
    For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across.  I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went.  It burned to disc image successfully.
    The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this.  That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.

  • Can't Burn DVD - keep getting "Error during rendering/encoding"...Help!

    I have a new IMac computer with Leopard and I'm having problems burning DVDs. I created a project using IDVD and have audio and pictures (imported individually from Iphoto) that I created into slideshows. I'm try to burn my final copy and continue to receive the "Error during rendering/encoding" message. I looked at earlier threads and saw some people had success when saving it first to a disk image however when I attempted to do that I received the same error. I know I have plenty of memory space since this project is very small. Please let me know if you have any ideas!!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have a new mac with Leopard since a week, and I had the same problem ("error during rendering / encoding..."). This happened when burning to a disk image.
    I tried a lot of things :
    * very small project
    * create a new user
    * put pictures in a folder, and not drag them from iphoto
    * change the theme
    I still had the same problem.
    The last thing I tried was to put all the files used by idvd on the hard disk (instead of of an external firewire disk).
    It worked ! (with the small size project).
    I'm trying to burn the large project again...
    I will tell you if it succeeds...
    Best regards,
    Nicolas

  • Error during rendering/encoding -- PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey everybody!! After trying twice to burn this project to DVD, I'm about ready to rip my hair out!! First of all, here's the specifics about my computer:
    Mac OS 10.3.7 / 800 MHZ Power PC G4 / 256 MB SDRam / My programs are iMovie 4 and I have iDVD5
    OK, I'm trying to burn a movie that is about 1 hour, 23 minutes long. Even though my movie is not 90 minutes long, iDVD does tell me that it is too long and that I need to click on "Best Performance" in my iDVD Preferences. No problem, I did that. (By the way, at the time of the burning, I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive.)
    Before burning I do repair permissions and delete my "com.apple.idvd.plist".
    So, it burns and burns for roughly 6 hours. Right at the very end, the disk spits out and an error message comes up saying:
    Encoding Video
    Error during rendering/encoding:
    This is very frustrating because I need to get this video done by tonight and turn it in by Monday morning!!
    Any suggestions?? Please help!!! Thanxx!!

    I have about 5.1 GB on space left on my hard drive
    I don't think that's enough. Remember a DVD is 4.7GB (which iDVD first stores on your hard drive) plus temporary files that iDVD needs.

  • Error in rendering/encoding in iDVD v 7.1.2 with MacMini & music in intro not playing

    I am having some difficulty in creating a DVD in iDVD.  I've created  50+ home DVDs before, but now I am getting this error message every time:
    Error in rendering/encoding
    "There was an error during rendering/encoding of the menus/slideshows. The burning process has been canceled."
    My process is the same every time:
    1.  I use iMovie and export the movie,
    2.  Add it into a new iDVD project, add music etc.
    3. Click Burn
    I have cleared the iDVD cache, tried to recreate the project several times, tried to save the project as a disc image or video_ts folder and get the same error every time.
    Additionally, I cannot get any music from itunes to play in the intro.  I've tried music from itunes purchases and music i've added via my cds.  I've never had an issue either playing in the intro before. 
    I am wondering if my DVD burner gave out.  If so, is there a way to check that?  Can I create the DVD image up to the point of burning and use homesharing to burn onto another Mac in the house (none of them have iDVD, but all can burn)?
    Help!
    Janetta

    What version of iMovie are you using and how are you exporting out of iMovie to iDVD?
    Where is your iTunes library located.  Some have reported problems with getting iTunes tracks to play when the library was on an external HD.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If you can create a disk image of the project that will play with DVD Player then we've narrowed down the problem to the burn process.
    Can you burn a DVD data disk via the finder?

  • Error message: Error During Rendering / Encoding

    Greetings,
    I have used iDVD in the past without problems on my macbook pro. Now it seems there is no way to make it work! I get this error everytime: "Error During Rendering/Encoding" the error is in the menu/slideshows, but I see that it never gets past the menu item on the list of things it is working on. I have tried going to the older menus and no luck. It says that the burning process has been cancelled. Any ideas?????
    Thanks!

    Hooray! I got it... I used what you said and this other post (below) helped as well. Is there a way to remove the apple logo from the menu page?
    Here is the other post that helped as well:
    I was having the same problem yesterday and researched all the solutions in the Forum. I wasn't experiencing the problem with burning to a disc, because I was trying to burn a disc image, so the variable of "better" versus "best" disc wasn't a factor. I did three simple things that I read about, after I tried four times and received the "Multiplexor Error" thing. One, I deleted encoded assets (Advanced > Delete Encoded Assets). Two, I trashed the iDVD preference file (home > library > preferences > com.apple.iDVD.plist), but only after I closed the iDVD application. Three, and maybe this stupid little glitchy thing made a difference, I deleted from the title and scene headings all characters other than letters of the alphabet and numbers. I have a few "&"'s and "/"s in there and maybe a few other little lazy short-cut things. Sort of a Microsoft thing, but maybe that was the trick. So, this morning the Disc Image was created, I've burned several DVD's (Magnavox DVD-R), they work on my Sony Blu-Ray player and all is happyland today.

  • Error message during burning: Error during rendering/encoding

    Hello,
    I am using iDVD 6.0.2 to create a DVD. I have pictures and videos. The videos are in .ASF format and they are played on Quicktime on my computer.
    Anyway, when I go to burn the DVD, it goes through the slideshow fine. But then, once it starts videos, it stops and the following error message shows up:
    Encoding Video
    Error during rendering/encoding
    I am using a Memorex DVD-R (8x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video) dvd. Is there any way possible I can fix this problem? I really need this DVD soon. Thank you so much.

    Best Buy and Office Depot carry Verbatim by me. Use only DVD-R, not DVD+R.
    My guess is that .ASF file...........
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • If you tried everything and still get USB Parent d...

    For those that have tried everything and still receive the USB Parent fatal error.
    I have tried everything on these forums and spend several hours getting it working. Finally I got it to working and with the latest version.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner (No reboot)
    2. Run a search through windows drive (probably c for anything "Nokia" and deleted.
    3. Run registry cleaner (CCleaner).
    4. Took groa's advice and added registry entry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
    "SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
    5. Checked through Add/Remove programs and deleted anything Nokia related.
    6. Reboot computer.
    7. Plugged in phone to charger.
    8. Folled PC Suite installation and plugged in phone when prompted.
    All drivers were installed successfully and phone is now recognized.
    I hope this helps anyone that is still having this annoying problem.

    Glad that worked for you. I don't know what step did it, but it did and that's what matters.
    *** I forgot to mention for step 3. I ran CCleaner for both Cleaner and Registry (making a registry backup). And lol I typo'd step 8. folled = followed.
    For anyone else that doesn't know how to make a registry entry, here's how:
    1. Make a new notepad file and add the following:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
    "SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
    2. Save the file as X.reg (the X can be whatever).
    Then you just click the file and import into your registry.
