Bluray burner ejects disc before avchd burn completed

blu-ray burner ejects disc before avchd burn completed Premiere Elements 12. Any suggestions please.
When I first got the blu-ray burner it worked perfectly with Premier Elements, burning both blu-ray and avchd discs. Now it won't do either
Bug in Premiere Elements I guess, just like the continuing crashing of Elements!? I have to save my work every few seconds to make sure I don't loose any!!!

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
With your Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD can you burn to folder successfully for AVCHD on DVD disc?
Just before you were ready to start the burn to AVCHD on DVD disc, In the Quality Area of the burn to AVCHD on DVD, what are the readings for Space Required and Bitrate (with and without a check mark next to "Fit Content To Available Space"?
Please review your Scratch Disk situation (locations and free space at the locations). See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks as well as the contents of the project's files/folders in the 12.0 Folder in Libraries/Documents/Premiere Elements (if Windows).
Are you running from a User Account with Administrative Privileges + Run As Administrator?
And have you explored other disc brands as well as types?
More later.
Thank you.

After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

I keep trying to burn a CD-R in Iphoto, and every time iPhoto stops burning halfway through and i get this error message, "Attemp to burn a disc failed. Burn failed due to a medium write error." I am using memorex CD-R's and have tried with 4 times with different CD's. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any info would be awesome

Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

IDVD 08 (v 7.0.1) ejects disk before the burn process is complete.

I've only been able to burn one disk successfully now the disk ejects before the process is completed. The iDVD screen still shows that the project is still burning. I have about 10g of hard disk space available during the burning process.

Just to add to Sue's excellent advice (Len's too), here's a few way to clear up those 10 GB's she recommended above:
You can clear video files already burned to DVD-R media, burn your iPhoto Library to DVD to clear more space , or even consider clearing languages you won't need on your system with an app like Monolingual. No problems will be created by removing unneeded language files (however it's highly recommend you avoid removing architectures on any intel mac).
Items in the /Library/Packages/ and /Library/Printers/ folders that you don't use can be deleted, and Monolingual can be run to free up more space.

IDVD keeps ejecting my disc before final burn can anyone help

My iDVD movie keeps ejecting the disc before the final burn what can I do

• Material used: Video-Codec and Photo file format and Audio file format - matters too. I use
- Video - StreamingDV .dv or AIC
- Photos as .jpg (only)
- Audio as .aiff 16bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz (ONLY - never .mp3 or directly from iTunes - all converted to .aiff first)
With this I do not mean any setting in iDVD - BUT the raw material used in iMovie / FinalCut / Avid 100 / Adobe Premiere
As this usually matters - later in iDVD
How did You Export from Video-editing program used ? I prefer
• iMovie HD6 - just drop the movie project icon (NOT iMovie Icon - the PROJECT one) over into iDVD big menu window (avoiding - drop-zones as they are for other tasks)
• iMovie'08 to '11 - Share to MEDIA BROWSER - AND AS MEDIUM - not HD or other resolution as iDVD does a bad downscaling job.
• iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) - Share as 480p - Import this into iDVD
• FinalCut (Pro or Express) - Export as QuickTime .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT
• Adobe Premiere - I don't know - not tested Yet
• Avid 100 - I don't know - not tested Yet
Cleaning the DVD-burner - If it Burns DVDs OK then that's may be not the problem - But if it only burns CDs OK then either the DVD-burning-laser is dirty or broken.
It is very easy to kill this DVD-laser as it over-heats if one burns several DVDs in a row. I only burn three at a time - then let it cool down for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs.

My iDVD does not burn the movie. It ejects DVD before finishing burning.

My iDVD does not burn movie on DVD. It ejects the the DVD before the burning is finished! Does anyone know what the problem is?

Try cleaning the Superdrive and performing a SMC reset:

Pioneer DVR-104 won't recognize/burn/eject disc. I am STUCK. Help?

Hello.
I bought an iMac G4 800mhz flat panel model with DVR-104 superdrive recently.
It's was working perfectly until I tired to burn my 1st disc using Toast 7 (DVD-R). That's when things started messing up. I stuck the disc in and after "thinking" about it for a minute ejected it without any message -- it just spit it out.
I repaired file permissions, restarted, tried another disc and now I can't get the disc out. When i push the eject button i get the eject icon on the screen but the disc doesn't come out.
-Under Disc Burning in System Profiler it now says "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly".
-Toast 7 says "no recorder found".
-When I restart the computer I get the message "Disk Insertion - the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Until I tried to burn a disc the drive had been working perfectly and a lot.
So to recap: There's a disc stuck in the Superdrive that my iMac doesn't think is there. Can I force eject?
Any ideas??
Thanks!!
Oh BTW here's what is says under System Profiler about the Pioneer DVR-104:
Model: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104
Revision: A216
Serial Number: BCDL160039WL
Removable Media: No
Detachable Drive: No
BSD Name: disk1
Protocol: ATAPI

Socket Type: Internal
OS9 Drivers: No
S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported

mrtotes thanks a lot for the suggestions! I didn't have to try the Target mode but I'll remember that one thanks.
With blank 8X DVD-R still stuck in iMac I ran Onyx (with everything in the Automation area checked√) and went to bed.
This morning I forgot it was in sleep mode & not turned off so I hit the power button to turn it on. It woke up, but the screen was frozen. I turned it off using the power button.
When I turned it back on the DVD in the drive started making that "clunk clunk" noise again trying to load (it had not been making any noises at all while stuck) while the computer was booting up. I held down the eject key & the mouse until it finished booting up. THE DISC CAME OUT. Whew!
I don't know if it was Onyx or me pushing the power button when it was asleep or that mouse/eject maneuver but it worked.
I guess I'll need to stick to 4X DVD-R for now if I can find any. Does anyone know where to get those now? I'm in Sacramento, CA.
Also, I have some Memorex 52X blank CDs. Do I dare try one of those or what speed should I use?
Thanks!!

Burning ejects during "multiplexing and burning"

When I burn a dvd it goes the whole way and then with 10 minutes left when it is doing the "multiplexing and burning" part, it ejects before finished and I get a blank DVD. Tried a 1000 times. Has anyone else experienced this?
I've burned dvds before and had no problem.

Hi
My list on this
*Multiplexing Error*
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
*Chapters !*
A. *Using strange letters* in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name eg +
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 grey 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 eg x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
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 absolutly needed.
eg external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from

(Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing widescreen 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 Taio 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.
From. Boise, Idaho
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 grey 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.

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 uneditited 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 trys, 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 mulitplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 secs 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
Multiplexer 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.

IDVD ejects disc before completion???

I have read that in the past years this is a reoccurring problem . . . but I just don't know how to fix it. The last time I burned a DVD was 2-3 months ago and it worked fine. I've burnt many dvd's before using iDVD and they've all worked well --- except this time. I did everything as normal. Nothing has changed. I have tried 3 different DVD's for the same project (memorex DVD+R, imation DVD+RW, and a no-brand one). In the past I have used the "no-brand" dvd's and also "memorex DVD+R LightScribe" dvd's and they worked fine. So now I'm beginning to think it's either the program or my computer. What happens is at the burn section the blue bar goes all the way and says "done" (before it's even finished multiplexing and burning) with about 8-10 minutes remaining. The laptop then ejects the dvd. The 3 dvd's I tried were blank since their ejection. It's like nothing happened after those hours of burning.
I not only tried 3 different dvd's, but I also tried different projects (to see if the one I was trying to burn was corrupt). One of the projects I already burned a few years ago (but needed a second copy now) didn't work either. The laptop ejected it at the same interval as the other projct did. If it's not the dvd, and it's not the project, then what is it? There has to be something wrong . . . but what?

It had been less than an hour. Deep breath.
Make sure your boot drive (Usually the Macintosh HD) has enough free space to make your DVD. I would suggest you have at least 2x the amount of space that your disk takes up. So a 4.7 GB disk = 10 GB free space needed. A 8.5 GB disk = 18 GB free space needed.
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDVD (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
Ensure your iDVD project and iDVD itself are ok.
__File > Save As Disk Image. If the disk image fails to create, there may be an issue with this project or with the application. If the Disk Image is created, then your project and iDVD are probobly just fine.
Make sure your DVD Burner is ok. Just pop in a blank DVD disk and add something to it (picture, document, whatever), double-click on the disk and click "burn".
__If the disk fails to burn then either the media you are using is not compatible / is bad or the drive has issues.
__Try reseting the PRAM and the SMC just in case the drive is having issues.
Other things to try:
1.) Make sure the DVD disks you are using are compatible with your computer's optical drive. If you use a disk that is not supported by your computer's SuperDrive you may get inconsistent burn results or the drive may reject the disk. You can find out what types and speeds of disks your computer supports by going here and looking for the "SuperDrive" section under your model of computer: http://support.apple.com/specs/
2.) Older drives / players may not be able to read newer types of burnable media. Use DVD-R disks that list a lower speed. Burnable media comes with numbering on the original packaging that indicates the speed of the disk (Usually 1x,2x,3x, etc.). The lower the number the more compatible the disk will be with more DVD players.
3.) Try different brands of media. I personally try to stick with media made by companies with a long history of making recordable media.
4.) Lower the burn speed in iDVD:
iDVD > Preferences > Advanced > Preferred DVD Burning Speed
The lower the number you choose the more compatible the resulting disk will be with more DVD players. It will also increase the amount of time it takes to burn the disk.
Hope that helps

Computer Ejects Disc Before Installation

I recently tried to install Leopard from the family pack installation disc. The disc runs and mounts on my desktop when I put it in. It even lets me open it up and brings up the window letting me restart the computer. However, when the computer restarts and it gets to the screen with just the Apple logo on it, my Mac ejects the disc (it did so several times at a high velocity, flinging the disc onto my desk.) It then flashes a OS9 looking icon with the finder icon and a question mark. It continues this untill I reinsert the disc causing the computer to boot up normally in 10.4.
I tried holding the C key down but that didn't change anything. I also tried rebooting it from the startup disc utility but that rendered the same results. I cleaned the disc thoroughly and there doesn't appear to be any significant or consequential scratches on it that might cause it to be unreadable.
Any ideas?

Do you have an external hard drive with a bootable backup? (You can make a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.)
Can you boot from that?

IDVD won't burn a disc.

The "burn" cycyl of iDVD ejects the disc before the burn cycle is complete. There are two minutes left each time. I have tried burning projects that have burned successfully in the past, with the same result. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi
What am I doing wrong?
Yes - how about do You think we will know ?
When You feed us no info at all !
• What kind of material did You feed iDVD (Video-codecs, Photo fiel formats and Audio file formats)
• How long in duration is material - in minutes ?
• What theme did You select to use ?
• is this theme Animated or Still ?
• Any Music/Audio on theme MENU ?
• What BRAND of DVD did You use ?
• What type of DVD did You use ?
• What Encoding Quality did You use ?
• Free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How Much ?
• Version of iDVD ?
And that's just to start us up
DID YOU TRY (or Please DO)
• Save as a DiskImage
• test play this with Apple DVD-tool
• then burn this .img file to a DVD - BY USING - Apple Disk Util tool
This way we find out where in the process it goes wrong.

Windows 7 does not recognize cd/dvd drive. Will not burn a disc

           In November 2013, I bought a refurbished hp Compaq 7900 convertible minitower, Product No. NJ3226UC#ABA, 32-bit. Windows 7 and WMP 12 were installed by the company that refurbished it.   WMP's  play, rip, burn, sync worked perfectly.
           I made the mistake of installing itunes. I purchased music and made a playlist from my library and itunes. I tried to burn the playlist with Memorex discs.  WMP burn would kick out the cd at 99% complete. I tried a different brand of disc and had the same problem. The message each time was 'Windows Media Player Encountered an error while burning. Verify that the burner is connected properly and that the disc is clean and not damaged.' I tried burning a disc using itunes burner but it didn't do anything.
           First, I removed every Apple application from my computer. Then I ran Microsoft CD/DVD trouble shooter. It didn't correct the problem and gave me the message "cannot locate CD/DVD burner". I ran trouble shooter in the Control Panel selected System Security's, Find and Fix. Then Selected Configure a Device . Results were 'Hardware may not be detected try to do what you wanted to do again' I tried 2-3 times. WMP would not burn.  Tried Apple for help and didn't want to reinstall itunes. I reinstalled Quick Time.   Followed Microsoft's 5-step resolutions:
          1. Used the troubleshooter in Control Panel.
         2. Ran CD/DVD Fixit trouble shooter.
          3. Manually fix corrupted registry.
         4. Update or reinstall driver.
          5.  Create a sub registry key.
I tried to burn after every step and got the same result.it burned to 99% and kicked out. I used system restore back to May 15, 2014 thaat was before installing iTunes. No burn.   Checked driver and response was that 'Driver is working. No problem was found'.    Today, ran Troubleshooter in ControI Panel and this was the messsage, 'Configuration Settings May Be Incorrect'. How do I correct this? Help! What next?

Hi,
You were given some very good advice on your other post. I ran into a very similar issue when I had installed iTunes and the end result was that I had to do a factory recovery back to a day one condition. Then I had to do a slow software installation process, checking every time I had installed a third party application. I got tripped up a couple of times but determined that I had to install iTunes before installing other CD/DVD media programs (Roxio,WMP and Cyberlink).
Do a fresh OS installation without the extra third party software and then install Imgburn. Then use Imgburn to determine the capabilities of your optical drive and match the media specifications those detected by Imgburn to the media type that you are using. Do not use cheap media as the firmware in your optical drive may not support it. I prefer to use Verbatim media. Now see if Imgburn will burn your optical media before attempting to install iTunes and other CD/DVD optical media programs.

How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc

How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Everytime I try to burn an iMovie project to a DVD with iDVD, the disc is ejected during the Burning and Multiplexing phase before it's completed.

For months I have been unable to burn any iMovie project to a DVD using iDVD. During the Burning and Multiplexing phase the disc is ejected before it's complete. I went the Genius Bar and after many tests I was told that my disc drive was pretty much dead. The person that helped recommended that I buy an external DVD burner from amazon. I bought the new drive and I can now burn files, but I'm still encountering the same issue burning a movie. Does anyone have any idea what'g going on? I'm extremely frustrated at this point!

Read this treatise on Multiplexing by Bengt Wärleby: HT1645 I was burning a DVD and the...: Apple Support Communities.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

IDVD ejects disk before burn is complete

I am attempting to burn a large combined video and data DVD project (6.8 GB), and encountering a problem in which iDVD ejects the disk from the drive just BEFORE the burn reaches completion. The progress bar just sits there at 100% saying that its last task is done, but never actually indicates completion (even if I wait several hours). The only way out is to hit the Cancel button.
I have tried burning both in Best Quality and in Profession Quality Encoding -- both exhibit the same problem. Burning to a disk image completes successfully, but iDVD warns that disks burned from such an image will not work correctly in some players, so it is not useful to me.
As for the DVD produced, the video content is corrupted -- some parts play, but others just get stuck, or worse yet, hang the player. The DVD-ROM data contents seem to be there in the directory -- but the files are corrupted, apparently having never actually been written to the disk.
The drive in use is the one which shipped with this MacPro1,1 (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D). The target disk is a Memorex DVD+R DL. iDVD version 7.0.3 (1110).
I hope someone out there can help, as my project is already overdue...
Thanks in advance,
Josh

I had the same problem burning a 2 hour, 33 minute video to an HP DVD+R DL using iDVD 6 on Professional Quality. All of the files are there and nothing is corrupted, but iDVD did eject the disc and showed a "Done" dialog box, but the program still showed that there was "less than one minute remaining" (much like the odd flaw in iMovie when importing a large AVI where the program freezes with "less than one minute remaining," but really requires an additional 20 minutes to finish importing). The disc was burned using the factory superdrive, HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N.
Now the DVD will only play about the first hour of video on any DVD player, including my Mac - it says it's "skipping over damaged area."
If there is any advice out there on how to fix this problem, or any explanation of why iDVD ejects the disc before it is done burning, it would be greatly appreciated.
