IPhoto show transfered and burned with iDVD will not play

Using iLife 6 - I have 425 photos in iPhoto edited and set to run 3 seconds with dissolves. Transfered to iDVD and created menue and sound from iTunes. The show appears to run fine in preview. However, when I burn the disk it will not run on a DVD player. It runs for a while and then studders or stops. Will sometimes start back up and then stop again. I have tried the following:
Have reduced all of the photos from origonal 4 to 5 MB down to 200 - 400 KB
Have tried 3 different types of master media.
Have tried 4 different DVD players. It plays best on my expensive Pioneer PRV
9200 but still has some small problems and studdering.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Is there any way to change the burn speed and settings in iDVD?
If you create a disk image, you can use Toast to burn and control speed to 4X or slower.
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. 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.)

Disc burned with iDVD will not play in DVD player only on MAC

I used iMovie to create a movie and then shared it with iDVD. I successfully burned the DVD through iDVD but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays fine on the iMac. It is in UDF format. After reading through posts, I saved the file as a disk image and then burned through Disk Utility. This plays fine but I would really rather burn the disc directly from iDVD. Any ideas why the DVD player says "This type of disc cannot be played"?

Media quality affects the burn errors on a disc. Computer players tend to have better error correction (to preserve digital data) - set-top DVD players tend to have poorer error correction since the are designed to play commercial, stamped DVDs with low error rates.

Disc I Made With iDVD Will Not Play Back in DVD Player

I used iDVD to burn DVDs I made with iMovie. The DVDs play back without problem on my home DVD player, but when I try to play them on my Mac G5, the computer keeps ejecting the discs. How can this be? Sureley the discs are compatible with my system or they would not be burnable. Please help!

Hi r
No this is an often described problem.
To make a DVD playable to as many devices as possibly there are some alt ways
to go,.
1. From iMovie to iDVD: I don't use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
I drop my movie project icon (with a Star on it) into the open window in iDVD.
2. After done necessary adjustments I go to File/Save as a Disk Image.
3. This disk image I burn with Roxio Toast™ but You can also use Apple Disk Util tool.
4. AT AN AS SLOW speed as possibly eg x1, x2 or x4 => Less errors in burn process.
5. I use Verbatim DVD-R. There are other High Quality brands - this I use.
DVD+R or +/- RW I don't use !!
This DVD should play on nearly all devices.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple.

These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back...

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play. Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

DVD created with Imovie HD & iDVD will not play

Footage transferred and burnt to disk using iDVD One Step DVD will not play using the play button on the DVD player software . You need to select menu twice and then it will work.
This has only started happening recently so I imagine its due to an update of some sort?
Is there a solution that anyone knows about?
Thank you in advance for any replies.

I was not using Dual Layer media, was using Maxell discs. I didn't go looking for burn speeds when I tried this version of iDVD. Just was disappointed that the 6 discs I'd burned wouldn't go on the DVD player.
So I certainly will give it a go with the slower burn speed and let you know what happens.
Thanks for the suggestion!

You did not say what programs you are using or how. Go to the web sites

Purchased songs show up on my ipod but will not play!

I am about ready to drive over my ipod with a car! I have the 80GB ipod and it was working fine until recently. For whatever reason, songs that I had previously (as in months ago) purchased on itunes show up on my ipod, but do not play. All other songs (ones that I downloaded from cd's) show up and play. I have tried everything I can think of but it still won't get them to play! HELP!

See this.
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

IDVD will not play in DVD player :( help appreciated!!!

hi, I have been trying to get this gift, a slideshow to a very dear friend and have spend DAYS trying to figure this out. I have burned a slideshow to a DVD-R using the iDVD application. And the DVD will not play in ANYTHING but a playstation 3 unit. I even tried creating an image of the slideshow and saving it to the desk top and burning it to a dvd using disk utilities and still not working I am SO disheartened help appreciated. If I put it in a dvd player or a computer it plays pieces of it like choppy and or skipping. In the playstation it plays fine. But she does not have a playstation. THANKS

Hi
Most often - Cheap DVD brand -
I only use
• Verbatim
• DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) (SL)
• burn speed set down to x1 or x4 recommended by many
• minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk (others do not count)

Converted songs from Windows Media Player to itunes show up in the library but will not play

I just installed itunes for the purpose of converting my Windows Media Player library to itunes. I went through the install and added the music folder. itunes went through the conversion process overnight and all of my songs appear in the music library. However some songs will play properly and if you open them in windows explorer they are in a folder called my music/downloads and are mpeg files. Other songs that are listed in the music library and appear to have been converted will not play. When you click on these songs that won't play it appears to be playing in the progress bar on top, but no sound comes out and the EQ visualizer shows nothing. When you open these songs in Windows explorer they are located in a folder: my music\i tunes\itunes media\music and they are a .AAC audio file type. What went wromg in this conversion process? Why is itunes putting these files in two different locations? Why will these files not fully convert and play?

This is also what I suspected but why would the songs go through conversion, show up in the library, and then not play? Apple support even says "itunes for Windows cannot import or play WMA files that are protectd." Yet the imported song is sitting in the library and when you play it the song is listed and the diamond advances - but no sound.
Also, any tips on how to see if a WMA file is protected by DRM?
Thank you for your response.

Purchased Movies (with Extras) will not Play in iTunes

So I have OS 10.7.4 and the most current version of iTunes. Lately, my purchased movies will not play in iTunes. When I double click on them, it goes to play them, but just freezes on a black screen as if paused. When I hit play, it flashes immediately back to pause. The chapters are all there (with the corresponding clip from that chapter of the movie). Ironically, these play fine on our aTV and iDevices where chapters/extras aren't used--this is only a problem on the computer playing through iTunes. The actual files are present and, as mentioned, they sync just fine to the iPads, etc. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Sometimes it would be nice to play them on the computer itself.
Yes the computer is authorized (and I deauthorized then reauthorized it). I've "Consolidated Library" and "Checked for Available Downloads". Also non iTunes purchased movies (those from DVD's I own) ripped in Handbrake work just fine and play. Also OLDER purchases without the Chapter screen play just fine.
Thanks,
Kevin

If you're running iTunes version 10.7.0.21, try the following user tip:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

HT202213 When I have downloaded and paid for music several time the song will not play, saying that my computer is not authorized. When I follow insturction to authorize the computer says it already authorized and song or songs will not play...... Help.

Authorized music purchased will not play says unauthorized to play and when you follow instructions to fix the issue says authorized...

If only a few songs on an album are doing that, that suggests the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
