Multiplexer error message when trying to burn DVD in iDVD

When I try to burn a DVD in iDVD, at the end of the burning process, I get a message that reads "Multiplexer Error" "There was an error during formatting".
Can anyone out there give me advice on how to remedy this?
Thanks!

When iDVD isn't functioning correctly, a basic maintenance procedure to try is:
1) Closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences.
2) Doing a permissions repair using the Disk Utilities app on your Mac.
Instead of burning directly from iDVD, try saving as a disk image (an option in the iDVD File menu). This will take a while as the encoding is redone. If you get a successful disk image, open it in your DVD Player app to check it out. If all O.K. burn it at a burn speed of 4x or less with Disk Utility to a DVD-R disk of good quality, like Verbatim or HP. On my computer, Disk Utility defaults to 4x burn speed, which is good.
See if any of the above helps.

  • What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

    I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
    "not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
    I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
    Any suggestions?

    iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive.  How much free space do you have?

  • Error Message when trying to Burn DVD?

    In the completion stage of the DVD burn of a slide show in PreE 4 I receive the following error message.-  "Device error - Sense Code (37304) -program memory area / rma update failure". Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Previously i have burned a slide show successfully. Now, after 2 trys for this equivalant slide show, I receive this same error message both times. I have a  Vista Ultimate system that has 584 GB free space and 334 used space.

    Since I posted last, I came across the following link over at the Encore Forum. There the user could not update the burner firmware and found that the disc brand made the difference between failure and success. Imation and Memorex discs worked, whereas Verbatim did not.
    So, I stand corrected on focusing in on the "RAM Failure" portion of your error message. But, I am looking forward to further details of your Break Apart Slideshow failure. I have come across at least one case where RAM issue impacted that even when you used the right Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option.

  • Error message when trying to burn DVD+R DL

    I am trying to burn a 6GB project onto a DVD+R DL for the first time. The burning process runs through 100% then I get a blank DVD and an error message that says... "Layer 0 exceeds the maximum layer size allowed, please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." I'm not quite sure what this means. Any advice?

    Welcome to the Boards (Search seems to be gone, urgh, because I had a post I usually point to, bummer)
    1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
    2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
    3.) The marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
    4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
    5.) Build the DVD to the HD then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray. Sometimes finding the right place for the marker with hunting and pecking
    I will dig up some more info

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    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.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    please could you help

    Thanks for replying. I went to the store and bought CD's and DVD's of different brands, many of which I have used in the past. All but a couple of them worked. Maxell, Memorex, Verbatim and Sony did not work.
    After several long discussions with AppleCare and some tests, they finally determined that the Superdrive needs to be replaced. So, I'm off to the Apple Store.
    Thanks again!

  • Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

    This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
    The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
    - There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
    Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!
    ~K

    It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
    Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
    When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.
    Regards.

  • Sense Error Message when trying to burn Dual-Layer DVDs?

    Hey all,
    I am trying to burn a dual-layer DVD disc with the internal drive in my MacBook Pro.
    I am getting the same error message from Toast each time I try to burn a disc. I get no response from Disk Utility (it just says "waiting for the disc drive") and Finder doesn't recognize the dual-layer disc when I try to burn in Finder.
    I've heard that it may be a media issue, so I've tried with every single brand of DVDs that I can get my hands on. So far, I've tried Verbatim, Sony, and Memorex. I can't find any other brands of media, even at Best Buy?
    I've heard that it may be a security update that might have caused this issue. System Profiler says that my machine can burn both DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL.
    What is going on?!??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The two most common suggestions are (a) try other media, which you've done (and Verbatim normally work) and (b) run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it to see if some dirt or dust on the lens it causing the problem. If this doesn't fix it then it sounds like a hardware fault and best to let Apple check it out.

  • Error Message When Trying To Burn A DVD

    I just got a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.3 and when i try to burn a DVD using Toast 7. And I get this error message and the disk will not burn. Does anyone else get this message and how can I fix this.... Thanks
    The drive reported an error:
    Sense Key = Medium ERROR
    Sense Code = 0x02
    No SEEK COMPLETE

    I know it sounds crazy on a new machine, but the slightest bit of dust or dirt can cause problems with the DVD - try running a lens cleaner disc through it and see if that helps ...

  • Error Message when trying to burn CD  from Playlist

    Never had this problem before, but when I try to burn a playlist, I get the error message "there is a file whose file is bigger than that of a blank CD. You need to insert a blank DVD." Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help

    Thanks for your reply, but that was not the case. I closed out Itunes and and reopened it and the exact same playlist burned with no problem. So it could not have been a file was too large. Again thanks

  • Error Message When Trying to Burn Pics to a CD

    I'm trying to burn pictures to a DVD. I have the ones I want highlighted, I then click "Burn", and it gives me the following error message:
    "Incomplete Disc Name
    Please enter a name for the disc"
    A name automatically populates in the "Name" field ... I've left the name as it is, I've tried to change it, I've taken numbers out, I've taken any special characters out, and I've even tried to leave it blank. Still get the error message.
    Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!

    Try the basic fix: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.

  • Error Message When Preparing To Burn DVD.......

    I am getting the error message, 'There were errors during the project validation. These errors have to be fixed before burning the project'.
    When looking at the setup of my DVD in the 'Map Mode' I have a frame at the beginning (before my title page) saying 'Drag Content Here To Automatically Play When Disc Is Inserted'. What does this mean and what do I need to drag here? I have my main title already set up and it is in the 2nd slide along, surely this should automatically be the start of the disc?
    Any help would be most appreciated, or an explanation of how to get rid of this would be lovely! Cheers.
