Image Incomplete Message during burning process

HI All,
I have had this problem pop up a few times as of recent. I get an image incomplete during the burn process when running IDVD 6. It has happened on 2 different projects on 2 seperate occassions. I was eventually able to get it to work but am I missing something or doing something wrong?? Thanks for look
Joe

You may need to force quit iDVD (appleoptionesc).
If you do force quit, make sure to run apple's Disk Utility afterwards to repair permissions on your main HD. In fact, I would do it regardless ...might help resolve some issues here.

"Errors Found During Burning Process"

Hi,
Having sucessfully burned AVI movies using iDVD in the past I have started getting errors. iDVD now does the same thing regardless of the movie i'm trying to burn and the media I use.
Having selected Best Quality (due to the film size), the menu rendering works fine, as does the prolonged job of encoding the video. When iDVD gets to the Audi encoding bit, just before it starts to burn the DVD itself, iDVD ejects the disc and states: Errors Found During Burning Process.
Clicking on the arrow to get more info it states: "The recording device reported the hardware error: Tracking servo failure. (0x09, 0x01.)" Bizarrely, the main iDVD progress window states both 'Cleaning Up' and 'Writing Lead-In' and the only way to get out if it is to force quit.
I've read a few posts on here and tried a couple of things such as trashing the plist file and reparing permissions. I also booted up the diagnostic disc to see if it could see a problem with the optical drive. But nothing has solved the problem.
Any ideas?
For reference, I'm running iDVD 5.0.1 on Tiger on a 1.8 G5 iMac with 1GB RAM.
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Neil

Colleagues:
Ran into the same error, # -34506. Definitely frustrating as I was burning a DVD of an iMovie that I'd spent many hours editing. The iMovie is only 30 miniutes in length, so I don't think it's a size issue. iDVD went through each one of it's steps in burn DVD sequence. However, 45 minutes later when processing is finished, the message reads: "Burning Finished, Errors were found during the burning process." Clicked to see the detail: "The error # -34506 was reported." Checked the DVD and nothing was burned!!! The same thing happens when I opt for disk image. No img file is produced. This is especially frustrating as it looks like it all but completed processing.
Does anyone know what Error # -34506 specifically indicates? How do you fix this? Does it only happen in a specific sequence? And, is Apple aware of the problem?
Thanks!

Error found during burning process

I am having a problem burning my iDVD project to disk. I'm using DVD-R disks. The message I get is "Errors found during burning process". The burning process seems to work correctly all the way through until it gets to the last step - "burning".

There are lots of things that can cause problems burning to disk.
I suggest that you save your project as a disk image (an option on the iDVD file menu) and see if that is successful. If it is successful, that would eliminate issues related to iDVD, encoding, and source material. After that, I would look to what brand of DVD you are using (Verbatim, Sony, Fuji, and Hp are oft recommended here), what burn speed (4x or lower is best), whether all iLife programs are up to date, whether you have any 3rd party or Quicktime plug-ins that might be interfering, whether you have sufficient hard disk space to burn (20 Gb is recommended, although 5GB would be absolute minimum).

IDVD encoding causes system failure during burn process

I have iDVD 5 on my work computer (dual 2.7Ghz G5 / 2.5 G RAM), and have burned successfully before my current project.
My current project has a 28:45 movie and I have tried two different themes with different combinations of drop zones (one with the movie as the drop zone and one with stills only) and everything previews okay, but when I start the burn process it will get to a certain point in the encoding and then the whole system crashes. I come back to check on the process, and my screen is filled with black squares with error info in it... (looks like a DOS screen or something) and it says something about system failure and that I need to restart my computer.
I'm so stubborn that I keep trying different combinations of possibilities but I'm having no luck. The movie that it's hangin up on was captured in Final Cut Pro from a VHS, edited in Final Cut to trim the excess black, and exported as a Final Cut Movie that I imported into iDVD.
As I said above, I have burned successfully on this computer and this iDVD, so the fact that this one project refuses to burn is perplexing.
any thoughts?

A gap in video would be a space between one clip and another. This is a problem when you are editing your footage, not capturing it. In other words, it is a user introduced problem.
In FCP when you say "Ignore Timecode Breaks" it just means to continue capturing video even if there is a timecode break. If you do not select this option, FCP would immediately stop catpturing whenever it hit a timecode break. A timecode break is not the same thing as a gap you create during editing. A timecode break could be as simple as rewinding your camera footage and then recording over it... the timecode now has a break because it is not continuous timecode, it jumps from one timecode to another.
Depending on what device you are capturing from, your audio may come in a few frames before or after the video. This would be especially true for a non-controllable device. It is a simple fix to adjust this as you would have noticed any sync issues right in the timeline during playback.
A system reboot in the middle of encoding is a serious crash... I doubt if it is the footage per se that is causing this to happen. Footage has been known to force an application to abort a process (or stay in an infinite loop), but an actual system shutdown would be extremely rare.
Consider recapturing the footage into a new FCP project and then creating a new iDVD project for it, this will eliminate either a corrupted FCP file or an iDVD project from the equation. Also, are you burning directly to disc or are you preparing a disc image? I'd go with the disc image approach because you can test your final build that way.

IDVD freezing during burn process

I was trying to burn my DVD project onto a disc and iDVD kept freezing during the middle of it. It just so happened to always freeze during step 2 of the process, but Im not sure if that is just a coincidence or not. Any suggestions at how to get the program to burn my project without freezing up in the middle ?
Thanks
I am using iDVD 4

Thanks dispatx.com, that page was of immense help. I found much of it very encouraging simply knowing that someone has gone through the exact same thing, missing deadlines, sleep, etc.
I gathered as much info as I could and have successfully burned a DVD image now using the "Easter Egg" hurz & pfurz. Why doesn't apple include that in the program?
I cleaned up my powerbook prior to burning with OnyX. I trashed the iDVD preferences. I created a new project in iDVD using the same footage I had exported from FCP as QT movies, not self contained. I included songs I downloaded from the iTunes store (debunking the myth that the protected songs foul up the burning process). I held down ctrl and clicked burn, named the image, and then it went to work.
Timeline:
6:00am started step 1, 10 secondes later, step 2 begins.
9:00 Step 3, Asset Encoding begins (Hallelujah, I never could get to this step)
9:50 Step 4 begins, mulitplexing
10:20 Image is ready and iDVD is asking me to name the image again, I finally figured out this gives me the option of burning several copies, I did and it only took another 15 minutes to create another image instead of starting the whole process over again.
10:40 I drop it into disk utility and burn a 3.7 GB DVD in 20 minutes.
Oliver Luker accurately observes and records CPU usage at each of the steps so that helped me know NOT to cancel even when Activity monitor showed iDVD as not responding.
I went with best performance because too many people were reporting over 60 minutes and best quality as not working well, and I need this DVD done. I had an extras section in the DVD that I yanked. But I don't understand why we are limited to less than 60 minutes. This angers me a bit and I'm determined to find a way to have a good looking DVD with over 60 minutes of footage that will burn through iDVD. I don't want to buy DVDSP, yet.
Good luck everyone.

Error during burning process

I am using OS10.4.6
Powermac G5
Final Cut HD4.5
IDVD 5.0.1
I have made a 27 minute movie in Final cut....i cannot seem to burn it in IDVD no matter what. I have been using this full time for 4 yrs and have never had this issue.
I have tested other movies and they burn fine...i have tried throwing away all the render files and re-rendering the movie in final cut and then re-exporting it out. i have exported it out in 2 different ways...no matter what i do, I keep getting an error during the burning process that says
there was an ERROR in the burning process
which is leading me to believe that some file within my final cut project is corrupt or problematic.
i have worked on this thing for about 50 hours and cannot start over from scratch, Help!

Ashley- I know you're probably getting desperate but please don't duplicate post.
I'm not real familiar with iDVD but I know you have to export a QT movie from FCP and then burn that right? Your QT Movie, was it a self contained QT or a refernce Movie. If you have no idea what I just asked, when you exported it and you went to File>Export>QT Movie> did you select the box that says "make movie self-contained"?
If so then a corrupt file is a moot (sp?) point. Can you open the QT Movie and watch it successfully in QT?
If you CAN watch it in QT then your problem probably lies in iDVD.
Answer these questions for us and we'll take the next step to getting a DVD in your hands.

Error messages during burning DVD audio

When burning a musical DVD audio 96/24 in Toast imported from an i Tunes playlist I get the message:" file VTS-06 etc inaccessable .
Data Fork -39 , plus a Mac system error. Mostly the error occurs during burning , sometimes during simulation but this happens rarely.
Can someone tell me where the problem is. many thanks

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.

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.)

Suppress Warning [W] message during BDC process [as batch SM36]

Hi expert,
i had problem where Warning message is force my BDC program to stop during SM36 batch job submit.
if program trigger in ad-hoc process [call program directly using tcode] , program works fine.
let me share briefly about My program, i intend to create VA41 transaction which have contract start date less than today's date. Warning message V5 001 will appear [not as pop-up window] which force my BDC to stop during SM36.
please kindly help.

Hi Rudy..
The problem is with Contract begin date should be greater than the begin date...you cannot create the Contract for past dates.
Even BDC will continue for Warning and Information messages and stops if encounters the error message.
Pass the contran begin date greater or Equal to current date .

Unusual message during burn

I've created many projects in iMovie & iDVD but this is a new one! I have a 3:58 minute project that is being burned to a DL blank. iDVD hangs up just before the burn stage with the message "Retrieving and preparing project". I can't find this message anywhere on the boards. Anyone know what's up?
I have tried:
Deleting the plist file
Restarting (many times)
Save as a disc image (which created a 7.5GB image from the 8GB that iDVD said was the total. I have been successful in burning that image to disc.
I have 95GB free on my system disc and the project is on a 400GB drive with 150GB free.
My G5 has 1GB of memory
Thanks!!!!!!!

I'm wondering if there is a bad clip or something
That's certainly a possibility. I've seen clip gaps cause problems.

ITunes errors during burn process?!?!?!

This has happened to me several times and had been cured (or so i thought) by resetting the P-Ram or whatever it's called. I've done that twice and wasted 2 CD's which I bought from the Apple store, apparently that temporary fix no longer works. This is not to mention the other half of the pack I wasted on trying it the first time this happened. I get one of two error messages, either "The disc burning failed..etc" or "...failed to reach laser level for this media...etc" and frankly I think it's ridiculous that Apple goes months without releasing an update for something like this. Not everybody has tons of money to buy a new pack of CD's every time Apple's unreliable software screws up. If anybody else is experiencing this and has successfully cured it, even as a temporary fix, that'd be greatly appreciated. -Thanks

I looked up many solutions to the problem online but none seem to work. Mainly, I looked to remove iTunes completely via Control Panel but it wasn't there.
Can you let us know what happens if you try installing iTunes again, please? In particular, if you get an error message, let us know what the error message says. (Precise text, please.)

TS3212 the new download of itunes will not run. I get a message during the process that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. then I get an error 126 and a missing file MSVCR80.dll. what can I do?

I'm trying to download the new version of itunes. durig the install i get a message that I need to verify that I have sufficient privilege. Then I get a message of a Windows error 126 and a missing file MSVCR 80.dll. I've tried everything on the support site and nothing works.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

MSI cr52-a2 reset occured during burn process

The problem I have is when I burn a CD. the cd burns to 2% and then the drive stops and and message on nero is "reset occurred" and "could not complete disk at once lead out". i have enabled dma on my hard drive and my cd writer, it works fine as a cd rom and i have an up to date firmware and aspi drivers. can any one help me with this matter?
ED

Might be a problem with Nero itself. Try updating it to the latest version, which is 6.3.1.17, and see what happens.
Also, this is less probable, it might not like the media you are using. Once you update and Nero and are still have the problem, use a different kind of CD-R/CD-RW and see what happens.
If THAT still does not work. Try a completely different burning program like CDRWin or Easy Creator 7 and see if the problem appears there as well.
A rare cause of that problem is the IDE cable, if you are still have a problem, check that to make sure that it is in working order (no tears or exposed wires). If all else fails, RMA!

IDVD crashes during burn process

Ok, I updated to LION and now iDVD ill not burn any dvds for me
Its starts the process and then quits unexpectedly.
I have tried the "plist solution" however, my directory is not at all the same. The library folder that contains the preferences is in a different location and no plist for iDVD was found.
I have no idea whats going on
my iDVD is v 7.2.1
Please help...

Hi
There are no iDVD v 7.2.1 - last release was v 7.1.2
There are at least two Libraries on Your Mac
• Root level one - when You open first window of Your Start-Up hard disk - this is the WRONG one
• Home Folder - Macintosh HD / Users / Your Home folder / Library / Preferences - and here it is
(BUT ON Macs using OS X.7 (Lion) this folder is hidden and needs to be set visibly - search forum to find out how - I'm still in OS X.6.? )
Easier way to get it to work is - Start a new User account and log into this - this forces Mac OS to do all Preferences new and Error Free.
Yours Bengt W

Satellite 5105-S702 Touch ED error message during bootup process

When I bootup my Satellite 5105-S702 laptop with the Computer Associates (CA) Anti-Virus software v8.4.0.24 turned ON, I receive the following error message near the end of the bootup process:
TouchED Error
Retrieval of THotkey" failed
Occurred Part - TouchED.exe - THotkeyFindProc( )
Failed Function - FindWindow( )
Error Code - 0x00031402, 0x00000002
However, when I turn OFF the CA Anti-Virus software and reboot the laptop, I do not get the error message.
Therefore it would appear that the CA AntiVirus software is causing this error message.
Would appreciate if anyone could advise if they have experienced this problem with this model laptop, or the Satellite 5105-S701, or the equivalent European model 5100-603, and how they rectified it.
Thank you
AlanCB

Hi
I agree with you.
In my opinion the installed (CA) Anti-Virus software is not fully compatible with the Toshiba Hotkey Utility or the Anti-Virus software doesnt recognize it correctly and cannot handle it.
CA Anti-Virus software is not known to me but maybe you could set some setting to ignore the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.
Maybe it helps if not I would recommend contacting the Computer Associates support team.
