Burn DVD, get audio but black screen and no video

Hi. I'm using iDVD 7.1.1. I exported a short movie (720p, 16:9) from Final Cut Pro (export as Quicktime movie) and stuck it in my project. It looks find when I preview it but when I burn the disk (Professional Quality encoding) I get a black screen after I click through from the menu, though I can hear the audio. Please help!!
(I'm using a MacBook Pro i7).
Thanks
Mark

Hi
A. Try to do a DiskImage first. File and down to Save as a DiskImage - test this with DVD-tool to see that it runns OK
B. Free space on Start-up hard disk. How much ?

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • The startup manager loads but cannot display, all i get is a black screen and a message saying No signal

    I have a mac mini that was just assigned to me to set up for my team at work to use when they are helping customers who have a mac.  We need to have OS 10.8 and 10.9 on separate partitions, which I have set up.  However when I launch the startup manager (holding option during startup) i get a blank screen and a message saying No Signal. I know the Startup manager has loaded because I can use the arrows to navigate blindly and I can successfully load either partition. I believe that it is a resolution issue.  The monitor I have available can only display in 1440X1080 at 75 hz and I think that the startup manager must be loading at a higher resolution than this.
    I have tried clearing P-ram and have searched ceaselessly to find someone who has had this same issue and no one else seems to have it.

    I think the Startup screen is 800*600 normally, can you set the Startup partition in Sys Prefs>Startup Disk?

  • When I try to play an iTunes purchased movie, all I get is a black screen and no sound.  Any suggestions?

    TIA.

    Note that the videos will play fine in Quicktime.  But trying to play the videos in iTunes does not work.  The videos that are sinced will play on my iPhone 4 as well.  Other videos not purchased in iTunes will play fine in iTunes.
    Not above un- and re-installing, but if there is a quicker fix, would prefer that.

    Hi Exceldpstudiocc5,
    can you please elaborate, which creative cloud app you are using and  what kind of file you are trying to open?
    I' m assuming, it could be an issue with fonts or type of files.

  • Burned dvd plays audio but not video

    I just completed the first part of a wedding video and it burned fine. I just finished the second part and it looks and plays fine in imovie and idvd preview. However when I burn it and try to play it the dvd will only play the audio. the dvd starts like it's going to be fine, but the video stalls on the first frame and the audio continues. does anyone have any suggestions. I am trying to avoid starting over, but I don't know what else to do. I tried eliminating the first clip in case it was corrupt, but that didn't help.

    First thing you might do is in iDVD, use the menu option to "Delete encoded assetts" in case the previous garbage from the last project or burn is messing things up. If that doesn't work here are my standard list of things I do when I have issue or even just before I go to burn a new project...
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Reboot your Mac.

  • Mac Users: How can I watch YouTube again on Firefox, when for months all I get is a black screen and no controls?

    Beyond frustrated here. I can watch YouTube on Safari (I have a MacBook Pro laptop, OS 10.6.8), but I use Firefox, for everything else, so really need YouTube access on Firefox. I have googled the problem a zillion times and find solutions that do not work.
    Today in several places, including here at Firefox, the instruction is to uncheck the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box which is found when you right-click (two-finger click on my trackpad) on the black YouTube screen. Then click on Settings, which brings up a display box. In the display box I'm supposed to be able to uncheck the hardware acceleration. And I see it there in front of me.
    But it's dead to my trackpad! The Enable Hardware Acceleration will not uncheck when I click on its tiny box. It's supposed to be active, but nothing I do in that display box works--even the close button. I've refreshed the page, tried clicking the icons on it, nothing works.
    Can you imagine no YouTube for months? It's driving me crazy. PLEASE help, I will be so grateful!
    Thanks~~

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • HT2693 my iphone has froze up and it will not do anything, i am getting a blank black screen and it will not turn off completely or turn on.  i dk what to do.  any information would help greatly.

    My daughter was playing a game on my husbands phone and it froze on her.  The screen displayed the turnoff slide bar or cancel, he tried to hit cancel and it did nothing, so he slid the slide to turn off.  when he did that he proceeded to turn off, but never completely shut off, and now the phone will do nothing!  I have tried restoring and also hooking up to itunes.  i do not know what to do in this situation.  any help would be greatly appreciated.  i dont know if there is a way to take the back off to remove the battery.  if you could give me some information that would be great.  thank you

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the Power and Home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    Was the battery replaced by Apple or an authorized repair facility?  If not, and any warranty existed, that warranty is now void.

  • My 06 iMac won't start up. Turns on (light is on), but black screen and no bell ding.

    I read other similar queries, and tried the install disc, but that didn't help.
    I know I have Mac OSX, but I'm not sure which version. Hoping not to have to take it to the Apple store, but that's looking more like a reality. Any help is welcome and appreciated.

    And, what did happen when you tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD? If you don't hear a chime then there has been a major hardware failure. Make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

    Make sure all of the videos used in the project that is having that problem are from the same event. If they are from multiple events, move them all into one event.
