Burn from .dvdproj help needed!

I have a movie on idvd which creates a .dvdproj file and it comes up with an error message - encoding issue when i try and burn the dvd. I have read other people having the same problem here and that saving as a disk image is the key but I have the same encoding issue when trying to do this even! . It seems to go all the way through rendering the movie and then at the end it says there was a problem encoding the movie. I'm completely stuck and desperately need the dvd this evening.
Can anyone help?

Have you edited the movie since adding it to the iDVD project?  If so that encounters a known bug with iDVD and you will be best served creating a new project and adding the movie again.
How did you add the movie to the iDVD project in the first place?  If from iMovie it should be via the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option (if that version of iMovie has that option) and not the Share  ➙ iDVD option.
If you have the movie as a file then try creating a new project and start over from scratch.  Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

  • Loading content from XML help needed, please.

    Hey All,
    So here's my deal- I have a custom-built FLV Playback
    component (with captions) and need to load the following items from
    an XML file named "xml_doc.xml":
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <playlist id="Here's The Video" >
    <vid desc="Introduction to Biological Terrorism Agents"
    src="Intro.flv"
    thumb="Intro.jpg"
    caption="Intro.xml"
    </playlist>
    On the stage, here's what things are named:
    -my FLVPlayback Component is named myVideo
    -my thumbnail/preview image (empty movie clip) is named
    myPoster
    -my FLVPlaybackCaptioning Component is named captioning
    So how do I get these things to all get read from the XML
    document? It's easy to do it all through the FLA and hard-code the
    paths, but I can't seem to figure out how to pull from the external
    XML doc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Joe

    You'll need to instantiate a few classes to help with this.
    The first is URLRequest:
    --var myXMLRequest:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("xml_doc.xml");
    The URLRequest gets loaded by a URLLoader:
    --var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    Then use the .load() method of the URLLoader:
    --myXMLLoader.load(myXMLRequest)
    Then add an event listener to your URLLoader
    --myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded);
    Finally create the function to work with your data
    --function dataLoaded(e:Event):void {
    --var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
    --trace(myXML);
    Looks like:
    --var myXMLRequest:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("xml_doc.xml");
    --var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    --myXMLLoader.load(myXMLRequest)
    --myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded);
    --function dataLoaded(e:Event):void {
    --var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
    --trace(myXML);

    You can't use Flash's native format called .FLA to be loaded
    on web server.
    You need to export your work in Flash document to what is
    called ".SWF" format, where you need to upload THAT .SWF file to
    web server.
    To work with Flash's native files, you need to have Flash app
    installed on your machine. If you want to learn more about how to
    work with Flash, you need to keep that topic related to Flash forum
    - where you would get some better help in that forum for that
    matter.
    Good luck!

  • Consolidating a poor "Contact us" form from AS1 help needed.

    I've found that the contact form functionality is spread over two symbols a few layers, and a few clips.  I'll do my best to define what and where, as well as the AS code behinf it in a top down manner.
    Symbol: "p4_tblock2" (movie clip) with three objects below it.
        " Layer 11 : Frame 1"     (two frames)
         "Layer 12 : Frame 2 "    (two frames)
          "Message"  Movieclip    (one frame)
              Message on frame one contains the text boxes to be filled in as well as a couple of movie clip buttons which are in the second part of all this
              Layer 12 frame 2 holds the thank you note once the sequence is advanced when the "submit" (movieclip button) is selected.  The other movieclip button "clear" resets the form.
              Layer 11...I'm not sure as I can turn it on and off and not see anything happen.  Also, the two frame icons are different then the others below it (the icons actually IN the timeline.
    Message has this asssociated AS
    onClipEvent(data){
    // show thank you screen
    this.nextFrame();
    The other symbol. "message" Three items below it, and four layers
              "Frame"  (one frame)
              "rd1"  (one frame) movie clip as a button
              "rd1:  (one frame) movie clip as a button
    The two rd1 movie clips hold the AS for the send and clear movieclip buttons.
    At this point I'm not to concerned with the code as KGLAD has been very helpfull.  I just don't think this needs to be spread out so much.
    I've done my best to describe what is going on, but it makes my head spin just trying to follow it.
    The idea is to have the buttons animate when the mouse passes over them, receive user input from four text boxes, and then send or clear the form to start over.
    Thanks

  • Removing color gradient background from video - help needed

    Hello everyone,
    I shot my son playing the violin against a white backdrop today, and what was pure white didn't turn out to be very white, I have gray
    areas, off white areas because of incorrect lighting.
    I want the background to be more white and more even than what it is right now.
    I thought of moving the video from track 1 up to track 2.
    I added in a title, which consists of a big box of white ( using the retangular tool I just drew a large white retangle that covers the entire movie area )
    Now to remove some of that white backdrop, I thought I would try some of the tools below, to remove the real backdrop, and let the white retangle
    from track 1 come through. ( so that the pure white comes through from track 1. )
    I've been going through the various options,
    - Chroma Key
    - Color Key
    - Change Color
    - Change To Color
    After 30 some minutes of fldding around, I thought I would just stop, and ask for help.  How would you proceed with this ?
    What process would you use ?
    I'm just puzzled as to which tool is best suited for a job like this, because right now my results are not to my liking, and it's just hard to get anything
    that looks good at all.
    Thanks for all help,
    Dave.

    Hi Harm,
    Thanks for the great response, I don't have Ultra CS3, but will look into Keylight.  I'm going to try the garbage mattes and chroma key route
    for now and see what I can do.
    You are indeed a weatlh of info.
    Thanks again,
    Dave.

    Interesting! Even though Runtime.exec() works with a single String, ProcessBuilder fails with this approach! You have to split the argument string. This certainly looks like a bug! Some while ago I looked at the source for Runtime.exec() to look at the differences between Runtime.exec() and ProcessBuilder and found that behind the scenes Runtime.exec() uses ProcessBuilder.
    More research is required.

  • Reading from serial , help needed

    Hello, I am a student trying to develop a Labview VI that talks with TDK blue2i module (with at style commands) via serial port, just like Hyperterminal.My VI consists of a while loop, inside of that I do VISA write, then VISA read using Bytes at serial port since answers are variable in lenght. When i run the program the first loop works ok ( i send message and get the right answer ) but in the second loop i still read the fisrt answer even if send a different command.
    Is there a way to make sure that buffer of the serial port is cleared after every reading?
    Sounds like a timing problem, Everything works well if I run the program Step by Step
    thanks

    Hi!
    I'm a student too, and I made a VI very similar to yours. My VI used the
    serial port to communicate with a modem, exchanging Hayes commands and
    answer from the modem.
    - Ma sei italiano anke tu! io non ho usato la VISA, ho usato solo le
    funzioni relative alla porta seriale messe in due o tre frame, non ricordo
    bene.. credo venga più complicato ma funziona! se vuoi vederlo scrivimi una

  • Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

    Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

    Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
    The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.
