A Question reguarding burning a DVD

I have made one dvd and am trying to make a second or third copy.
I have put the 2nd disk in and it goes thru all the stages of burning; all the way to finish recording. It spits out the disk and hangs here. It never asks if I want another copy.
Sometimes it will ask for another disk, and the drive just sits there and spins and then hangs up.
The disk is not a finished dvd. When you put it put in, the finder opens up IDvd, not a completed project.
IDvd just hangs, I usually have to force quit the application after a period of time.
Blank Disc: Maxell DVD-R 4.7 GB 16x
I volunteer at the church I go to and make DVD's of the Sunday Service. I usally make 3 copies.
I have used double layers recently and have not had this issue. [Memorex DVD+R DL 8.5GB 2.4x]
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to discussions, Red:
You might have an easier time making more than one copy by saving the project as a disk image and burning that.
(Thanks to Len Goff for the copy & paste)
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.)

Question about burning my DVD

Hi
I was hoping for a bit of advice before I burned my DVD.
I have an iMovie project that lasts about 1hr 40 mins that I want to burn using iDVD. I realise this is long - much longer than any movies I've done before, so I was just wondering if there are any tips I should follow to make sure the whole process works smoothly.
Is there a particular type of DVD I should use for maximum space and effect? I gather I should set the option to "Best Quality" rather than "Best Performance". Ideally I'd also like to add a photo slideshow of between 30 and 40 photos. Is this a bad idea to try and fit anything more onto the disc?
Thanks in advance for any advice people might be able to offer.
Ian

unoriginal,
You should start a new Topic for your problem. Coming into a previous Topic gets confusing...
1. Not good...
2. You should have 20GB+ free on your start-up drive.
3. Is it FireWire? Did you format for Mac? Is the iDVD project on your start-up drive at User/Documents?
4. Turn off all Energy Saver settings. Don't run virus software. Don't run FileVault.
Due to these problems, should I be aborting the project, fix them and try again,
Yes.
Capturing video to the external should work fine as long as it's FireWire and Mac formatted.
My 105min iMovie has been burning in iDVD for about 15 hours now.
Too long... See one of my projects below.
Ireland 2006
iDVD 6 Pass Through widescreen theme
696 images that are 2816x1584 pixels shot with Canon SD700 IS
15 640x480 movies from same digital camera transcoded to H.264 with QuickTime Pro.
Part 1 and Part 2 submenu buttons on main menu. All submenus are the Chapters option for this theme.
Part 1 leads to a submenu. That submenu has additional submenus and sub-submenus. Part 1 leads to 12 total submenus. These menus contain images and movies.
Part 2 leads to a submenu. That submenu has 5 submenus with only images.
I had to "remove" animation on all the sub-submenus and not include any music to get everything on a single-layer DVD-R. The Menu info was WAY over the 7:30; something like 14:00 after these adjustments. About 20 slideshows with music. Additional short slideshows with no music.
Started the rendering/encoding process at exactly 1:00:00 p.m.
Finished the Menu video rendering/encoding process at 3:53:30.
Finished the slides and transitions process at 5:37:30.
Process movies start 5:37:30, finished 6:27:45.
Burn process start 6:27:45.
Retrieving ends 6:28:30
Writing lead-in starts 6:28:30. Finished 6:31:55.
Writing... finished 6:33:50.
This is the longest project ever for me. Mainly because of the animated menu rendering/encoding.

Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

Hi
I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
Thanks

You can save your iTunes Music Store movies to data DVDs for backup purposes (if you have a supported DVD burner), but these DVDs will not play in a DVD player."

Noob Question About Burning a DVD

I downloaded a divx and an avi movie to my Macbook. They are both associated with a textbook I am using and are free to download if you have the accesss code provided in the text. My question is I would rather watch them on my tv instead of on my laptop. So how do I do this? I have a Sony progressive scan but I don't know if it will play divx or avi's. I have Toast Platinum and I'm looking for someone to instruct me in a very step by step manner as to how I can make a playable DVD. Thanks!

Toast will work. Just open it and choose make dvd video. You cn choose if you want menus or not. If it is a single video file I suggest no menus. For two or more menus help a lot. Toast will take the avi file and make it into a file your dvd player can use. Then add your file and burn it.

After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality. and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
Good luck.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

Thanks for the follow up.
In Premiere Elements 13/13.1, your export choices are in the Publish+Share section of the project. There are several choices and sub-choices.
Example: Publish+Share/Computer/and then a list of choices under that, such as, MPEG, AVI, AVCHD, XAVC-S, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, Audio.
And each has Presets which define the export settings. Adobe offers default settings which are usually optimized ones. But, it also allows you to customize the preset selected. You do that by clicking on the Advanced Button of the selected preset and customizing the settings under the Video Tab, Audio Tab, and, if applicable, Multiplexer Tab.
From what you wrote, I thought that you might be asking about exporting a video with a video codec = Photo JPEG.
To do that you would to to
Publish+Share
Computer
QuickTime
with Presets = either the one for 4:3 of 16:9 as appropriate for your project,
and then clicking on the Advanced Button, and then the Video Tab under the Advanced Button.
Then selecting Photo JPEG for the video codec field.
Tip: The QuickTime choice is not seen unless you scroll down the list of Computer choices. Use the thin scroll bar to the right of the Computer choices.
Please explore Premiere Elements 13/13.1's Publish+Share/Disc/DVD with standard or widescreen preset for your creation of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
The Premiere Elements timeline destined for this choice could consistent of supported photos and or videos.
Please consider.
Any questions and need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

What other options are there for burning a dvd outside of premiere pro?

I tried the downloading of PPCS6 which included encoder. That didn't work, the dynamic link library did not contain a link to send something to encoder. Whats the procedure in buring a project from PP to a dvd not using encoder?
Thanks for your help!
Rchjr

Ann and Shooternz,
Thanks for your response's, I appreciate it. let me explain what I am trying to do and have tried: The objective end result is to make a dvd with go pro footage I shot edited together in ppcc.
I went golfing with my Father and Brother recently, took my gopro hero silver 4 and shot some video. I have imported all that footage into premiere procc 2014 and have done editing on a limited extent of the footage and created a timeline sequence. This is the first time I have tried to make a dvd from footage edited in ppcc. After the composition was done I rendered the video, went to burn a dvd thru my neuro express lite software and could not locate the saved files, it appears the only dvd extensions options in neuor express lite are looking for are bup, vod and ifo. So it could never find the rendered video from ppcc. Then I read about PP CS6 which contains Encore and thought this will work! I download PPCS6 and install, novice me thinking ppcc 2014 will have the dynamic " send to encore "............not! Before I downloaded PPCS6 I see a video from adobe tv of a tutorial on what I was doing, he said to uninstall ppcs6 after and keep enocre unchecked in the uninstall process, which I did. In premiere pro it said to put things in a " que " and it should link to encore, for me it linked to adobe media encoder.
I uninstalled encore and reinstalled PPCS6 with Encore this morning to try again, when I go to import from with in PPCS6 a PPprogfile everything looks like it's working then stops, I see a progress bar and it just stops and hangs up? I tried dragging and dropping two files I rendered from PPCC ( aud and vid files ) into encore and it looked as if it was going thru the burning process, I got a progress bar and everything and it just stops after about 15-20 minutes, I have 32 minutes of golf footage.
Ideally I would like to use encore for my burning needs, I dont think neuro 2012 lite is up to what I need. I thought the dragging and dropping into it was gonna solve my problem, it didnt! Just made me more frustrated then what I am.
What is the work flow in something like this? Compile in PPCC render to the specs of it being shot, then import into encore with the dvd instructions? Can someone steer me in the right direction? What I thought was gonna be a simple process has turned into a frustrating process.
Why cant I import PPCC files into PPCS6? What kind of files can I import into encore for burning? Do they have to rendered first? Or just the completed project?
When you say export to mpeg2 dvd, after it is rendered how is it burned to a disc, thru something like Neuro?
I am a novice at this so if these questions sound stupid, I apologize now.

Burning a DVD from Final Cut Pro X via Compressor - No audio?

I have attempted to burn a DVD from a Final Cut Pro X project using Compressor, however the result was silent.
I used compressor because my FCPx project is in NTSC and my DVD is for air on Australian TV (PAL).
Image seemed to burn OK however there is no audio. Can anyone advise what I may have overlooked?
This is the first time I have used Compressor, and I am fairly new to FCP X.
thanks,
Geoff

Thanks Russ. OK, I am now rendering again via Compressor 4, this time I have 2 files in one tab - 1) a MPEG-2 and 2) an AC3 file. Seems to make sense.
To burn the DVD immediately after, I added a 'Job Action' to 'Create DVD' after the render, and the dialog confuses me. No problems with the 'Job Action' tab, but the "A/V Attributes" tab indicates the follwing:
Type: Final Cut Pro.app (shouldn't this be a reference to the rendered file/s?)
Video - showing the same dimensions of my FCPx Project file (NTSC ..640 x 480) instead of the MPEG-2 (Pal ...720 x 576).
Audio - Properties show Linear PCM... 6 channels, etc... not the AC3 file.
My question is, how do I create a DVD from the newly rendered files output from Compressor - is the Job Action the way to do it, and if so, how do I get it to reference the new files?
Thanks,
Geoff

HT1152 When I burn a DVD from iMovie, it shows up as just a series of folders when playing it back on a TV/DVD player..What is the problem?

Help!! I am a new Mac user and have Os X Lion. My son and I are starting to use imovie and have downloaded several video's from his new HD digital Bloggie camera. I just want to burn a basketball game to a DVD. So I went into imovie, followed the steps to iDVD and then Burn. But, when I put the DVD in the TV to play, it just shows a series of Folders. What is the problem? I am burning to DVD+R memorex.

Hi, you posted this in

You're running Lion and this is an iMovie question. I've asked it be moved. It will help if you post in the correct forum in future because it will speed up your getting an answer.

Burning a DVD from iPhoto to save photos

Someone has posted this method of burning photos which I have found VERY VERY useful
"If you burn a disk using the Share -> Burn command you will recreate your Library on the disk.
If you then delete the pics from iphoto it will not keep the thumbnails, but you will be able to view the pics in iPhoto if you insert the disk."
I have found that I can select several albums to burn. However, my question is - has anyone found any problems with losing pics when they burn a DVD & then delete the photos from iPhoto. OR any other problems? I DON'T want to lose precious photos!! When I inquired about purchasing PSE 6.0 they told me that it was much more reliable than iPhoto in not losing pics ?????
Looking forward to hearing back.

This is an amusing piece of twaddle:
When I inquired about purchasing PSE 6.0 they told me that it was much more reliable than iPhoto in not losing pics ?????
PSE is a +photo editor+. It does not organise, store or manage pics. It’s like saying that Word will mind your files better than the Finder.
IF you burn the files to the DVD then they are on the DVD, that’s it. If you then remove them from iPhoto they are still on the DVD. Just test the DVD to be sure.
Better ways of saving space: move your Library to a large, inexpensive external disk.

Premiere Elements 12, Project settings to burn a DVD

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the project settings. I try to burn a DVD of 3 mpg-files. Here is a screenshot of the file info's, also one of the project settings:
According to the file information, I think the settings are correct, though the timeline shows an orange bar.
All files have the same informations.
When I go to finish the project to burn it on a DVD (output setting is PAL_Dolby DVD) it takes at least 14 hours, I don't think this is normal.
My system is a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.1, 2.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM.
Any ideas what is wrong here?
Thank you in advance.
Jessie

Jessie
Great news with your troubleshooting. Great job.
Let us now look at what you wrote
The only thing that's left now is why I'm not able to save a project when I added one of my self created menue template
from the point of view of
a. how you created the menu template
and
b. where you placed it
Creation of the menus...
a. What did you put in the theme folder...just the main menu .psd file and scene menu.psd file or more? What were the exact names that you gave the main menu .psd file and scene menu .psd file? What program did you use to create your menus? We will get to the Layer Set structure in the Layers Palette of the .psd file(s) next if necessary.
b. I do not have a Mac computer so I cannot talk in terms of .psd file location in Mac. I will now talk in terms of Windows and hope that you can translate the following into the right Mac location for the theme files (assumed also .psd type).
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 12
DVD Templates
Common
and, in the Common Folder, create a new folder named My Specials. In the My Specials Folder create a new folder named My XXX Theme. Inside the XXX Theme Folder goes the XXX .psd files and other theme assets.
In Windows, the menu theme (Slideshow/Pan and Zoom) that comes with the program is found in the above location. The menus that require Content download are in the Windows Program Data path that leads to the Online Folder. I do not want you to use that latter path counterpart in your Mac.
But let me ask this basic questions...
a. After you have placed the menu that you created in the computer, when you open Premiere Elements 12, do you see that menu in Movie Menu Display of menu choices
b. If so, can you click on its choice, hit Continue, and have the theme appear in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
c. If so, can you Preview the customized or uncustomized menu there and does it look good.
d. When all is done, how many main menu pages and how many scene selection pages do you have?
Let us start here, review the above, and then decide what next.
Thank you.
ATR
Add On...Additional focus may be computer resources, placement of Timeline markers, and spacing between Timeline markers, as well as fine details of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file, whatever else you may be placing in the Theme Folder of the menu that you made yourself.
