Artifact problems burning QT to DVD

I'm trying to burn a 3 minute QT movie that I made in FCE4 to Roxio Toast 6 and I keep getting artifacts. In preferences I choose 1x speed but when I go to burn it changes to 4x.  What can I do to defeat the artifacts and get a clean burn?  Can I use disk utility to accomplish this?  I've tried that 3 times, it burns a disc and tells me it was a successful burn but each time the disc is blank.  I have an iBook with OS 10.5.8 and have 32 GB of free space on my hard drive.  Any help will be appreciated, thanks

I converted everything to AIC to use in FCE4.   
The project was DV NTSC 48.
Then you have a mismatch between your clip properties and the sequence you edited the clips into.  You have AIC clips in a DV sequence.  I strongly suspect this is the origin of your artifacts.
With all AIC clips, you should be using one of the AIC Easy Setups to create your sequence.  Use the AIC Easy Setup that best matches your clip properties.  Then place the clips in the AIC sequence.
Also, be sure to Render All before exporting your video.

  • Problems burning dual layer DVD's

    we have had lots of problems trying to burn dual layer dvd's. Single layer has been fine but is there some secret trick for getting dual layer to work? we have tried both the internal dvd burner and an external one and both are supposed to be dual layer capable.

    about half of the ones we try get about half way through and then say media sense error (or similar wording) some of the others look like they have burned fine and then when it is writing the last little bit it just stops, this results in discs which are unreadable. The others look like they've burned fine and then don't play one of the items on the DVD once it is put in the machine.
    Those that do play appear to stop about the level of the switch of layers.

  • Problem burning to external DVD

    I'm trying to burn my iDVD project to an external DVD burner (brand-new Philips model that's supposed to have all the bells and whistles). I went with an external burner since the Pioneer drive that came with my eMac croaked and I couldn't find a good replacement. I was able to burn a disk yesterday with no problem, but today, after I made some changes to my movie project and wanted to burn a new disk, it keeps trying to talk to the (broken) internal drive instead of the external one. I know the computer recognizes the external drive because it asks me what I want to do when I insert a disk or when I unplug and plug the USB cable back in. Is there some way to disable the internal disk drive so iDVD won't keep defaulting to it? This is driving me crazy because it worked perfectly yesterday, and I didn't do anything different this time around.
    Any suggestions gratefully accepted, because right now I want to throw the whole system out the window.

    Hi
    USB Cable ? Does this works ? Previously ?
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    Many possible origins. Most common:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/acount* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: eg iDVD 5.0.2?, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK

  • Problems burning Blu-Ray DVD with Encore CS6 Creative Cloud version

    I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 from Creative Cloud on a high performance PC. Everything works fine but Encore Blu-Ray burn will not finallize... get error message after most of disc is burned. Have tried several burns without success. Same files burn okay with Cyberlink software. Seems to be a bug with CS6 Encore files.
    Have tried with Cyberlink removed from machine.... same problem. 
    Any suggestions??

    The error is: Blu-ray Error, "device error", Code "3", Note, "AS-StorageError = 97071
    I imported one HD Blu-Ray MPG file encoded in Premiere Pro for Blu-Ray DVD about 4GB in size.  It was set-up with simple "Play menu".  It burns up to the point of finalization, then the above error message occurs.
    I insstalled a second Blu-Ray burner (different brand) and attempted another burn but with same error message.  Also tried different brand of discs.
    I have a second computer that I had previously loaded the trial version of Permiere Pro CS6, then later opted to do complete install via Creative Cloud.   CS6 Encore will burn a Blu-Ray disc on this system with the same file without any problem or error messages.
    It seems to be a problem with the Creative Cloud installation on the first computer???

  • Problem burning to CD/DVD on internal or external burner

    My G4 is not longer recognizing cds or dvds on my internal drive.
    I plugged in my new LaCie firewire burner, and the G4 isn't recognizing blank discs in that either.
    As soon as I pop the disc in I get the message "This disc cannot be used becasue it is not recognized."
    When I run DiskUtility it sees the drives and the discs, but lists the discs as "locked" and "read-only". Again, I have used a multitude of different brands and types of brand new cds and dvds; discs that used to burn fine on the internal drive. So what am I missing that has changed?
    The external drive and various discs work with our Powerbook G5 with no problems.
    I have been running 10.4.1 – that seems to be when the problem began.
    I ran PatchBurn4.04 with no results.
    Anything else?

    I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A FIX!
    I was having this problem as well, were i could not stick in any DVD-R / RW.
    But and CD-R and Regular DVD and CD would work (Dual 2.0 G5)
    As i was Cleaning my computer up, I foound a burn folder i could not delete.
    (folder with with the Burn icon on it)
    Cmd-i and i see it is locked. i unlock it and delete it. For whatever reason... i stuck in a DVD-R and it read and Started to load my home movies!!!!
    Step 1: Look for any Burn folder, Were you started to burn a dvd but it failed or anything like that. not sure how you would search for it.
    Step 2: Is it locked? You'll see a padlock like icon in the lower left corner, it's silver grey.
    Step 3: Cmd-i (10.4.10) Under the Color Label box you will see this little Gem: [√] Locked Unlock it so that it shows: [ ] Locked
    Step 4: Delete said folder, and empty trash.
    Step 5: Insert DVD-R, and enjoy.

  • Problems burning dual layer DVDs - help...please

    I'm trying to burn a movie onto a dual layer (8.5gb) DVD but my 12" G4 Powerbook doesn't like it. It doesn't recognise the DVD and spits it back out after 30 seconds or so of strange noises, whirring etc. Burning onto regular 4.7gb DVDs seems to work OK, so am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help? FYI the media is DVD +R dual layer, made by Emtec (BASF).
    Powerbook G4 12   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Well I certainly am no expert on media, but I went to Apple's store to look at the PowerBook's spec's. On the 12" it says "Slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)" and then on the 17" it says "lot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)." So it appears to me that the 12" does not support dual-layer discs. I know that it doesn't have a dual-layer burner, but perhaps it will not even let you do a dual disc one side at a time. Not sure, just guessing.

  • Problem burning slideshow to DVD

    I made my first attempt with my new photo shop Elements 11 and adobe Premier, to burn a slideshow using photos and music.  I was able to burn it with no difficulty but some of my photos had been turned sideways on the finished disc. They were not this way on the slideshow.  How can I correct this for a reburn?

    Windows Only
    I find its best to select a batch of images in Organizer and then click Create >> Slideshow.
    You can also add captions, if all the photos already have them.
    Set slide duration, transition type/duration and click OK. You can also add pan and zoom effects whilst in the project.
    You can preview your slide show when the Slideshow Editor opens. Then click Output >> Edit With Premiere Elements. You will be prompted to save your PSE project - click yes.
    A new project will open in PRE and you can add or change your soundtrack, fade the music on the end frame plus any other effects you may want.
    The output gets sent as a single clip. To review individual slides right-click on the clip in the timeline (usually Video 1) and choose Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow.
    You can now preview your slideshow again or render it first (for best quality) and then preview to make sure all the slides are correct. If not click on individual frames to adjust.
    When you are happy click Publish+Share and choose disk.
    Insert your DVD and click the rescan button until the disk drive is recognized.
    Choose a pre-set. I always uncheck the box Fit Contents to Available Space. I can then move the slider up to highest quality.
    Then click Burn and wait whilst the disk is written and finalized.
    Good Luck.

  • Problem burning images to DVD

    I want to back up my digital photos on a DVD, so I put them in a folder to see how many I would need. The folder's Get Info panel says its contents total 3.74 GB. I have a blank DVD that says it holds 4.7 GB, but when I try to burn the contents of my folder, I get a message saying there are too many files and I have to remove some. How come? And what should I do to resolve this?
    Thanks for any help.

    You may see if using a separate burn utility which can tell you if
    the burn file exceeds the capacity of the recording media, helps.
    One I use for DVD and CD recordable media, free, is Burn 2.0u:
    http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
    Sometimes, the folders and other hidden info required to record
    content may exceed the expected limits on the media; or the
    math is not exactly as thought, so the items won't fit the media.
    Once you do have a collection of folders or items selected in Burn
    it is very easy to make several copies and choose the disc. Since
    it is all on the desktop, this gives you options outside of other apps.
    There are several ways to burn data and other content to disc media
    in the system; iTunes, Disk Utility, iPhoto, and in Finder. The Burn
    utility is a handy tool, uses little resources, is free and works well.
    (Not sure if a 'smart folder' could help,
    ...I haven't seen what those can do.)
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Problems burning dual layer discs using 10.3.9

    Hi please can someone help!!
    I am pretty knowledgeable about macs but having problems.
    My mac came with a pioneer 103 superdrive and have had no problems burning CDs and DVDs with Toast 6 Titanium. Recently i wanted to back up my dvds i have bought as some you can't easily buy anymore.
    So i bought an external usb pioneer 108 and some 2.4x Dual layer DVD+R Rivision discs.
    When ever i burn it gets right to the end of finishing and comes up with various errors and says it may have a lead-in lead-out connectivity problem. I have installed a patchburn which recognised both dvd drives and i installed before trying to burn. I have read somewhere that OSX 10.2.9 + can burn Dual layer and i have 10.3.9.
    I have tried best and 2x with no joy. I am also using the setting DVD-ROM (UDF). After the disc mounts it plays through DVD player but is really jolting and is spit out by my normal DVD player connected to my TV.
    I have got the DVD info off the disc using MactheRipper and just placing the two folders Video T_S and the other on the disc. I am keeping the Name as it was orginally. I have successfully copied a DVD that was less than 4.7gb which worked on both of my dvd players with my Pioneer 103 drive that can only burn normal DVDs.
    I have not tried burning any other disc formats on the Pioneer 108 but felt it was a software problem rather than a hardware.
    I have looked on Pioneer.co.uk and they have Firmware's i can download for the Pioneer 108 but not sure what firmware is or does? or whether they are PC or Mac versions.
    thanks for your time, hope i have given all information required, would appreciate anyones help.

    Hi
    See Mac OS 10.4 Help
    And Mac OS 10.3 Help
    You need Tiger if you want to burn DL Media using the Finder, otherwise you'll need to invest in Roxio's Toast.

  • Horrible artifacts in burned dvds

    Dear All,
    I am suddenly having a new problem with DVD Studio Pro that I did not have before, althogh I did have the same problem with iDVD in both my old Mac G4 and on my new MacPro. I am exporting a Quicktime movie from Final Cut Pro 6 (can't get Compressor to work properly) and importing it into DVD Studio Pro. I can preview the entire file in DVDSP and see no artifacts. However, the burned DVD has horrible artifacts throughout the entire disc...long blocks of pixels across the screen. This also happens when burned through iDVD, so I don't think it can be any settings that I have incorrectly checked. I have no way to burn an acceptable DVD!!!!!! My movie is only 15 minutes long and I have plenty of memory on my Mac Pro. I recently did the Quicktime updates...might that be the problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Barb.

    Dear All,
    Sorry it took so long to reply to your questions, but I did find a solution to my problem...I think. It is not the software that is causing the problem, but my optical drive burner. I have two optical drives installed on my new Mac Pro. When I burn from drive #1, everything is junk. When I burn through drive #2, everything seems fine. I am ordering a new drive under warranty and hope that this fixes the problem with drive #1. I exhaused every avenue looking for the artifacts problem in my software programs, and it finally dawned on me to see if using drive number two would make a difference...and it did. I hope the new drive corrects the problem for me on future burns...check it out.

  • Problems obtaining a good DVD burn/disc

    This might be the wrong place to be asking this, but hopefully someone here can help me solve the problem of getting a dvd burnded disc of a slideshow to look good. I realize that the dvd will never have the level of resolution of the original HD show from computer, but the artifacts are whats killing this.
    After creating a slideshow, it is exported as qt.mov file, where in the past I have then imported into iDVD or Toast to make final menus and then burn. One of the things I seemed to be plagued with are what I call "dancing pixels" during pan and zooms (hate the term ken burns effect). As I understand things iDVD re-encodes the data at mpeg-2 standards before burning, and in preferences I have set it at highest quality vs best performance.
    So the real question here is this, would I be able to control the mpeg-2 standards for export better than what iDVD allows me to do? And if so would I then be able to eliminate the "dancing pixels"?
    Thanks for any helpful info in advance.
    Rob

    If you intend to use DVD-SP to create the DVD, then you can use Compressor (included as part of FCP Studio 5 nowadays) to specify a number of MPEG-2 parameters. But even with that, if you pan (or zoom) slowly enough, the edge of the picture, or other horizontal/vertical elements) will dance between the scan lines of an interlaced picture.
    You don't have much control of encoding in iDVD.
    Other thoughts are to determine the background color for when the picture edges are visible. Black is the worst; you might consider some other background, even a textured one, to relieve this symptom of "dancing pixels" (I like that term

  • IDVD problem burning and multiplexing - gets stuck but ejects the DVD and the DVD doesn't play

    I am having trouble burning DVDs.  Everything seems to be working fine during the iDVD project creation.  I can watch the movie and select scenes within iDVD.  Then, when I go to burn the DVD, it gets stuck at the burning/multiplexing stage - the wheel just keeps spinning and says there is about a minute left.  Yet it ejects the DVD and the DVD won't play when inserted into a DVD player.  It will show the intro and the scene selection pages but when you click on one of the scenes, it gets stuck and doesn't play.  I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iDVD.  The problem persists.  It seems like the burner itself is the problem.  What can I do to fix it?  I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with a 2.8 GHzintel Core 2 Duo and iDVD version 7.0.4.

    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST
    Multiplexing Error
    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    • Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    • Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
    PART Two.
    from Robert Modero.
    "Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
    Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
    Once I did that, I was back in business.
    from Boise Jim
    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs

    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.

    (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.
    by dheb0422
    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
    One user more writes
    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • I was having problems burning DVDs' fro iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK?

    I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
    I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
    I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
    I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
    Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

    Thanks but this didn't really help.
    I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
    The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
    But thanks

  • Problem burning DVD DL using Super Drive - Help

    I am using MacBook 13-inch Aluminum (Late 2008).
    I tried my new set of DVD+R DLs from Imation. But SuperDrive couldn't detect the DVDs.
    I checked my firmware version also, it is up-to-date.
    I tried with 3 new DVDs, but was of no use.
    But there is no problem reading dual-layer DVD movies.
    But the Disc burning Info shows that my SuperDrive is capable of burning +R DL.
    Could the problem be with the SuperDrive or the media.
