Burn DVD Image on multiple recorders

I need to make 150 copies of a iDVD/iPhoto slide show. Can I use multiple external DVD-RW recorders to accomplish this along with my SuperDrive? If so, how do I set it up in Disk Utility? Thanks!

This post is really intended for the OP / ProShots. Sorry Klaus1 that I posted it as a reply to you but I was unable to delete my post in order to address it to the OP instead...
Suggestion: Do not make 150 copies on one S-Drive alone. You will need at least two separate burners to do this and hopefully a bay of drives/burners.
If not, do what was already suggested and sub this kind of work out to someone who will make reliable copies for you.... hopefully an outfit that specializes in quality DVD copies. What you have is called a "shot run" of DVD's and there are places that do this type of work more reliably than you can with one or two S-Drive/s. You may want to use Google for your nearest locations. Hope the above info is Helpful and good luck.

Burning DVD image returns error 0xC0AA0301

Hi,
HP ENVY 700-203eo/Windows 8.1
I'm trying to burn an .iso image to DVD but it fails with error code 0xC0AA0301.
I have also tried burning the DVD using the included bloatware Power2Go, with similar result. Downloaded and tried ImgBurn - which also failed.
Anybody able to help out?
Thanks,

Burned DVD images only appear sharp near end of loaded time in screen

Hi, I am new to the list. I have produced a slide show in iDVD with still photos, music and some video. Everything is fine except when I view the final presentation on my TV or with a DVD projector.
The Problem:
The images load and transition fine except they appear somewhat bitmapped or not sharp until just before the transition to the next slide then it sharpens. This happens with every image. It's as though the image is loading and then finally loads at the last half second to full resolution. Because of this the photos lack any detail until the very last second.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, and some transitions are worse than others. To avoid the problem you have two choices: 1. don't use any transitions in iDVD slideshows, or 2. (which is the best approach) create your slideshows in iPhoto or iMovie. (There are also third party photos to slideshow applications, but give iPhoto or iMovie a try first.)

Matshita UJ-867 (6!) won't burn DVD images outside of Disk Utility

Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and Apple seems to have upgraded the SuperDrive to a Matshita UJ-867 model. It seems that this is causing some problems with 3rd party software. I am trying to burn a .nrg file so I have to use Toast 8, but it failed with the sense error 0x09 0x04: "HEAD SELECT FAULT". It's pretty much an error that Google doesn't seem to recognize at all, so I thought my drive was just borked, but it seems that Disk Utility can burn a normal ISO file (it obviously doesn't support .nrg) just fine.
I also tried with the open source Burn utility and got the same sense error. I'm guessing/hoping this is a software problem that Apple ought to fix in a SuperDrive update sometime, but I'd like to hear from other people with UJ-867 drives and see if they can burn things in 3rd party apps.

I have new MBP, arrived last week. Came with UJ-875. Using Toast 9.x, I got the same error on the first burn of a dual layer DVD+R DL. The second is burning (verifying, burning done) as I write. I did change the source media though. I'll be trying several other burns to make sure I don't have an issue. This MBP is still under warrantee. One way to get apple to listen is to make them replace faulty hdwr. If I do have an issue, they can replace the drive at their cost, or send me a new laptop. People listen when it costs them money...

Burning DVD from disc image

I've been burning DVD's from disc images using Encore 1.0 for some time now. ever since I upgraded to 2.0, Encore gives me error messages on my project like:
"first play not set" and
"remote control problem".
I don't see how these messages can appear when I'm using a disc image (i.e. a completed project) as the source. does anyone know?

When you click on the Build DVD button in the Disc panel, Encore does a quick check of errors
in the current project. If you have a new, empty project, you will at least get errors about First Play and Title Remote. Those errors have nothing to do with your disc image, they apply to the current project, from which you are trying to burn your disc image.
These errors may be safely ignored, since they don't have any effect on your disc image.

Using disk utility to burn new image dvd's

Ok I just learned to burn DVD'd using Disk Utility and New image.
But I have come to halt in my burning with a new issue.
My issue is that I have a file that is 4.63GB. When I make a new image so that I can burn it, it increases the size of the file(Video TS) to 5.13GB. Making it to big for a 4.7GB DVD.
My question is is this normal for the new image file to increase in size, and is there a way for me to stop this from happening. Or can anyone give me any other suggestions. Please help.

Ok I have never tried that, as this is the first time it is suggested to me.
The reason i have been doing it via DU, is because this has been to only way to get it to play on
home DVD player and burn with the UDF setting. I was told to do it this way when I was trying to burn
copies of my nieces fifteens that was prof. done on a DVD.
I am trying to burn a copy of a movie so that it can be played on home dvd players. Yes I have done this before and the copies I burned via DU/new image, worked perfectly. And the ones I burned by just choosing file and burning it did not work.
So any help would be great.

Creating/Burning DVD Disk Images

I'm trying to backup a (commercial) language instruction DVD that my 2-year-old daughter uses (and scratches) often.
I ripped it to my hard drive with MacTheRipper and DVD Player is able to play the resulting VIDEO_TS folder. So, far, so good.
Now, I need to burn a DVD of the ripped files.
What software do you recommend for creating the DVD disc image and burning it to a DVD?
Thanks.

I am attempting to do the same thing; i.e., I have a TS folder on my desktop and I'm trying to make a DVD that will play in a DVD player.
I've tested the TS folder by launching it in DVD Player and it plays beautifully with sound. Now I would like to burn this to a DVD.
I've attempted to use DVD Imager, but all I get is an error message that the TS folder is not found after dragging it to the icon. I've moved the folder around to different places (home drive, user etc), but still DVD Imager doesn't seem to find it, even though the path is recognized in the software.
I also followed the steps in the ken stone article and successfully created a .cdr file by following these steps:
a. Created a folder named VISIONS (the name of the home made movie)
b. Placed the TS_Video folder inside of the VISIONS folder
c. Used Disk Utility to create a .cdr
selected File>New>Disc Image from Folder
selected VISIONS folder (with TS_Video folder inside)
selected CD/DVD Master
selected Encryption None
d. VISIONS.cdr created on desktop
e. Used Disk Utility to create DVD
highlighted VISIONS.cdr in left in Disk Utility
Burned to DVD
The DVD created was not recognized by my DVD player, nor would it play on my MAC - the computer wouldn't even recognize it.
Do I need to also place an empty AUDIO_TS folder inside the VISIONS folder along with the VIDEO_TS folder?
Any advice out there would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

IDVD 6, no audio on disk image or burned DVD

Seems I've just been plagued with this problem as well, and the first time I noticed it was after accepting an upgrade from iDVD 6.02 to iDVD 6.04 as well as a firmware update.
Audio from imported .avi files plays fine in the iDVD preview and even played perfectly on disk images and burned DVDs, but now there is only audio in the video I dropped into a background drop zone, and no audio in the two movies. During a second burn, still no audio in the movies but audio for the first 5 seconds of the loop of the background movie. I should mention, prior to updating, these .avi files were burned perfectly. So this is very erratic.
I used appzapper to remove iDVD 6.04 and reinstalled 6.02, but the problem persists. I'm wondering *if any others have experienced the same issue after some form of "upgrade"*. If there was only some way to revert back to the old firmware I would. A few other updates took place as well, but I can't remember exactly what was done.
Quite ridiculous for updates which are supposed so solve issues, just create them.
Any new fixes for this apparently popular problem? Is there a way to revert back to my old firmware?

Have you updated to QuickTime 7.1.2?
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. 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.)

Cannot create DVD image or burn DVD on G4 Mac mini (error #-34502)

Hello!
I'ts pretty strange... I've created some DVD projects with iDVD on my Mac mini (G4, 1.25 GHz, all system updates installed, extra internal DVD burner installed), but I'm not able to burn a DVD neither to save an image file with iDVD. I do always get an error message which includes this error id: #-34502.
However, burning DVDs with Toast or the Finder does work.
There is already a techdoc for this error code, but the described "solution" does not help on my projects. All content is within the tv save area, that cannot be the problem that I'm facing right now.
I've also tried to remove the iDVD caches from ~/Libray/Caches and I've removed the preferences from ~/Library/Preferences. None of these "tricks"
did solve my problem.
iDVD does always render the content and when it starts to multiplex, this mystic error message appears and the process is stopped.
Does anybody else have an idea or a tip that might help?
Christian
more than enough apple stuff Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The machine was working fine for more than a year. It was running EyeTV all of the time, cutting videos and archiving movies. No problem there ...
I know you're going to find this "unacceptable":
That doesn't mean anything when it comes to RAM and iDVD. iDVD will find any RAM quality weakness. Weakness that even RAM testing software won't find. I've seen it a lot here.
Apple (OEM), Micron (Crucial.com), and Samsung are highly regarded. I even saw a removed Micron solve an encoding problem. Hey, nothing is prefect.

Trying to burn disk image onto LaCie DVD burner...

I have saved an imovie in iDVD and then saved the project as a disk image on my desktop. Using Disk Utility I added the image as a new image and chose burn. Everything seemed to be going fine, It said it was burning the image and when it finished a error window appeared that said device did not respond properly and was unable to burn project. Can anyone give a start to finish on how to burn an iDVD project to a DVD-+R on a LaCie burner??? Much help appreciated...

Use Toast which came with it - it burns the images fine. And try Verbatim media.

Preview in iDVD fine, audio drops off in data image or burned DVDs

Playback in Final Cut HD Express and iDVD preview works perfectly. I create a DVD image and the audio drops out the last minute of a 39 min program. The movie file source in iDVD is DV/DVC Pro. I did a Quicktime conversion from Final Cut using High Quality H.264 and the audio remained but the quality was awful. I did a program info in iDVD and the DV movie did not eat up too much space in iDVD so that's not an issue. I have 28 avail. GB in my external drive where the project is located so not an issue.
I have 23 GB left in my internal drive so that wouldn't be an issue either.
The Apple Store techs were stumped.
The audio that goes missing in the data image and a DVD I burned was a fade out done on Final Cut. There is a blue line on the timeline, but if that was an issue then it wouldn't play back in iDVD. It DOES play back perfectly in iDVD. Somewhere in the conversion from iDVD and a data image or DVD messes with that audio. Any hints?

No definite suggestions, except for things to try (might they count as hints?):
Before exporting from FCE, did you mix down the audio? (Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown).
Did you export a reference movie, or a self-contained movie? Whatever you did, you might try the other.
What versions of FCE, QuickTime, iDVD? Some recent QT updates have caused strange things to happen in older versions of FCE.

Can't burn DVD but image plays just fine in Apple DVD player

I can make a DVD and save it as an image, which DVD player will play flawlessly. I just can't burn it to a DVD. It fails continuously. Maybe it's my media? Can anyone recommend media known to work well in a MacBook Pro (last version)? Any other suggestions? thanks.

It is easy to burn from a disk image, and it is better because all the media needed is already within the disk image file. It doesn't have to search, locate and pull in the media for the burn. There are many places for errors to occur. If you have successfully created a disk image file, just burn from that.
Also, a disk image file is self-contained. You can safely delete both the original iDVD project and the original iMovie used to make it if you are finished editing them. Because the disk image file is small, you will save drive space. You can also burn a new DVD disk of that project any time in the future, without having to remember if you moved the original media, or renamed anything used in that project. Of course, you cannot edit a disk image, but you can't edit a burned DVD disk either.
Many users here report that DVD-R disks are better and play in more types of set-top players. Others think DVD+R disks work fine. I always use Verbatim DVD-R, burn at 4x or less, create a disk image file of all my iDVD projects and I have never had a burn issue.
