Burn Warnings

Hey Folks,
I'm getting three warnings when I burn a DVD from DVD STUDIO PRO 4 on a Power Mac G5. Some of the assests are sitting on an external 250 GB drive. I'm not sure whether the following is anything worry about:
"Warning: The file ‘FULLBODYWORKOUT.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.'
Warning: The directory ‘/Volumes/External 250 GB/FullBodyYogaHOKU/DVD_SCRATCH/FULL_BODY_YOGA_SCRATCH/VIDEOTS/Render Data’ will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc."
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be awesome. Thanks so much and Happy Belated New Year to you all!

Those files are created by DVDSP when you build a DVD, but they are not needed on the final burned DVD so they are purposely excluded when you format/burn. If you were to burn the Video_TS folder created by a build with another burning software such as Toast, you should manually exclude those files.
Its perfectly normal.

What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project: - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

It means that iDVD has found a problem with one of the movies added to the project. Did you edit the movie after it had been added to the project.
Create a new project and add your assets, movies, slides, etc. again and follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality 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 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.

Just finished burning DVD and I get yellow warnings about TS file. Help!

"Warning: The directory ‘/Users/..............Library/Caches/DVD Studio Pro Files/VIDEO_TS/Render Data’ will not be included in the final disc."
I exported from FC6 into Compressor at top quality. Brought in the two files to DVDSPRO and got everything set up. The menus work fine, etc. All good except this warning.
I am sending this to Amazon and they require a TS file and audio file. Is that what this warning is about? Why is it there? Thanks!

That's normal. There are certain files in your Build folder that are not required in the final disc.
Don't worry about it.
As a simple test, set your build destination to the Desktop. You will see a warning that the folder "Desktop" will not be included. That's a good thing.

I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message. This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac. I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message. I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old. Obviously I'm using iDVD. I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem. A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above. I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD. Still the same message came up. I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened. This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened. They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had. The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's. The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message. The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page.
I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work! It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion. I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy. It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems. Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.

Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter. So much appreciated. And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this). Although, you may regret asking for more information. I've added everything I can below.
The process I used is as follows:
Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
Add title to front of clips
‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
Select submenu - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
Change title colours on clips
Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
Try new DVD discs
Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
Change images in drop zones
Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
Try with one clip and no menu pages added
Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
Turn computer off and restart
New hard drive
New optical lense (thing)
New DVD burner
Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
Other points:
I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across. I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went. It burned to disc image successfully.
The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this. That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:

Superdrive only burns a few songs to CD on MacBook Pro Retina

I don't know if this is a SuperDrive issue (that's my guess), or an iTunes issue, or a Mountain Lion issue, or a MacBook Pro Retina issue... but I got a SuperDrive the other day for burning CDs and DVDs. My first attempt at burning a MP3 CD of about 50 songs was a failure—it burned 5 songs to the CD and acted like it was finished. No errors, no warnings, no problems, just didn't burn the rest of them. And it wasn't the first 5 songs, it was a random selection of 5 songs.
So I tried again with another playlist of about 30 songs. Same thing, except only 1 song burned this time. I haven't found anything else online about a problem like this (although I've seen LOTS of other SuperDrive problems). Any ideas about what's going on and what to do? I don't want to waste any more time or CDs if I should just return the SuperDrive and get a different burner instead.
Thanks for any help and suggestions you can offer.

It's an Apple SuperDrive, and I haven't contacted them yet to ask about it. I guess I could take it to the Genuis bar but I am already wary of the product since I've read about so many problems with it.

IDVD 7.0.4 crashes while burning disc/image

When I try to 'burn' my project to disk or 'save as image' iDVD 7.0.4 crashes without any warnings after rendering the menues right at the beginning of the video render.
Main video in project is AIC (758x592, Quality: middle, Progressiv/Linear PCM, 48 kHz, 16 Bit) exported by iMovie'09 with some chapter markers and video-enhancement as recommended in the forum for best quality and then imported into iDVD.
Earlier project shared to iDVD directly from iMovie burned without problems. Can the codec be the issue? Dropzones use certain parts of the same videofile and they render without problems, I can see them completed in the iDVD-project-package.
Additional questions:
1. why is the file exported with iMovie that large (also with successful project; eg.: orig. file 3, 98 GB, exported file 11,95 GB)? (chapter markers and video-enhancement for the whole file?) Makes archiving a trouble.
2. is there a way to replace the main video in the iDVD-project without distroying the manual menu-/text-/... edits (more titles on one menu, etc.) I made earlier? When I import a whole new videofile in another format (for testing the codec issue), iDVD takes the chapters once more and creates the template-conform menues again, partly overlaying my older ones.

Just to offer condolences. I have been greatly disappointed in iDVD -- crashes more often than burns successfully. Lots of wasted time waiting for a burn to be successful, only to find toward the end of the process, I get a msg "rendering" a problem, or couldn't complete, or crashes and then I have to stand on my head to get the DVD to eject. Have the issue both with movies I've downloaded to iPhoto and with photos downloaded to iPhoto that I've turned into Slideshows. Wish I had awnsers for both of us -- or however many of us that are out there....

An error occurred while burning the disc.

I tried to burn some stuff onto a DVD today with my PowerBook. Here's the info on the burner:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E:
Manufacturer: MATSHITA
Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E
Revision: DMP2
Serial Number:
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
I bought some DVD's on sale at Radio Shack, and when I tried to burn a movie and a few photos onto a disc, the progress bar showed it starting to burn, then it stopped and I got this message:
"An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used."
A little research here at the Apple forum brought me to this site:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
And after downloading a little program called DVD Media Inspector, I was able to classify the DVD's I had bought as:
"4TH CLASS MEDIA:
Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate...."
OK, off to Mega Lo Mart, where I bought some nice, expensive Maxell DVD's.
Media Inspector doesn't see my fancy new DVD's. When I try to burn stuff using the Finder, I get the same result as before.
Getting desperate at that point, I located and downloaded updated firmware for my model of Matshita superdrive. I'm not sure what firmware is, and there was a free range one and a standard one, so I went for the standard one. There were dire warnings in the readme file about "flashing" a superdrive being on the same risk level as open heart surgery. I flashed my superdrive. (You can say that here, and it's not dirty.)
I also tried burning using iDVD, and after much preparation, it started to burn, then spit out the DVD. I tried three of the landfill DVD's and two of the Maxell ones. I'm out of things to try. Any ideas?
I have never tried burning DVD's before. Am I doing something wrong?

I tried again using iDVD's One-Step DVD making feature. It will let you make a one step from a movie file, and I had a .dv version of the movie I want to burn.
It encoded video for a while, encoded audio for a little while, then started to burn. The superdrive made some noises, then the DVD was ejected and I got an error message saying:
"Burning Finished
Errors were found during the burning process"
I hit OK (though it really wasn't OK) and got another error message box. This one said:
"Multiplexer error
(some message about multiplexing problem)"
The message didn't make sense to me, and I was unable to remember it. What's a multiplexer? I would have guessed an avid movie-goer, but somehow I think that is not it.

Can I burn bigger-than-DVD image onto hard drive and run it off hard drive?

I'm trying to create a DVD Kiosk of sorts. I have a series of instructional videos we have created--I would like it to play a video from the menu randomly if left alone for a period of time, and if someone moves the mouse, they will be given the DVD menu from which they can select one of the videos. This will take a lot of script writing, of course, and I also have more videos than will fit on one DVD.
*What I need to know is: Will Final Cut let me burn a disc image that's bigger than 4.7GB onto my hard drive so that I can just run this directly from a Mac Mini? If not directly possible when saving it, is there a work around?*
Additionally, if anyone has any wisdom or knows of any resources that would assist in writing such a script, that's also welcome.
Thanks for your help.

The short answer is yes. You don't need (or want) a disc image. You want just the folders from the build (AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS). You will get warnings but it will do it. You can also set up DVDSP to make a DVD-9 disc so you can get an idea of the project's size as you work and not get the warnings.
Within DVD authoring there is no way to recognize a mouse movement, but you could have an overlay that says GO to Menu on these random playing clips. Now to do this without doubling the assets for the motion clips (one with/one without overlay) you need to right a script that controls when the overlay shows. From menu timeout overlay on. From user action overlay off.
btw its not Final Cut that will make the image but DVD Studio Pro.

I can't get transitions to work when burning a DVD from Keynote

While trying to burn a DVD+RW from keynote, using Quicktime 7.5.5, I get a message stating warnings were detected during validation. Nowhere does it tell me where the errors are, or what to fix. If I burn the disk some of the transitions do not work. They freeze, or one slide shows through another. When I went through preview before burning everything worked fine, but when the DVD is placed in a player the transitions do not work. I removed all the transitions, then reburned the disc and things worked fine, but the presentation lacked pizazz.

Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

Fails to burn - not including files!!

Hello there,
I'm in the process of trying to burn two DVD's I've created. They build fine but when they go to format they always fail. In the log window it comes up with multiple errors such as this:
Warning: The directory "/Volumes/ANNADRIANACACIA/FINAL PROJECTS' will not be included in the final disc.
From look at them all of these warnings are files that need to be on the disc because they have the same names as the movie files that need to be seen... I've never had this problem before and I'm not sure what to do. I completely rebuilt the DVD today thinking that might solve the problem but it's still having the same issue.
Any help would be great! The deadline for it is approaching fast!
Thanks!

If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!
~K

It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.
Regards.

Warnings of files not being included in final disc

I've had a terrible time trying to learn to burn a movie DVD for my kids to play on their TVs/DVDs and was hoping someone here recognizes what I've done wrong. I've created a sequence in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 (part of FCP Studio 2), used compressor to create the files ending in .ac3 and .m2v (and it also created one ending in .aiff). I imported these into DVD Studio Pro 4 and created a menu with 4 chapters (marked in the timeline). Not sure from the manual if I linked them right or not, but seems that I did. Then when I clicked build/format that worked well (said it was successful). But when I went to burn it I got the following messages in the Build Log.
Warning: The file ‘IVEY_20022003.layout’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
Warning: The file ‘VOB_DATA.LAY’ found in the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder will not be included in the final disc.
I tried burning this to both a DVD-R and a DVD+R. Both show only the menu screen when I play it on a DVD player, but give the "Not Available" circle with a slash indicator when I tried to play them, use any DVD remote command button, or click on a menu graphic.
What have I done wrong?
What other info do you need to know?
TIA

The problem is that you have created a HD DVD, not a SD DVD. HD DVDs will not play in stand alone DVD players. You need to delete the VIDEO_TS and HDDVD_TS folders that DVD SP created. Then open up DVD SP and get into the Preferences and change the settings to SD DVD. The bad news is now you have to start all over again and create your project again in DVD SP. You cannot start from your old project.
The warnings about .layout and .LAY files can be ignored. They are not the problem.

Burning Slides to DVD

I've never used iDVD this way. I imported 115 photos from iphoto, added music, dissolve transitions, and a title page, but when I pressed the icon to make the DVD in received this +WARNING: There were warnings during the project validation. It is recommended to fix these problems before burning the project.+
I never saw any warnings during the process. So, is this the best way to create a slide show or should I do it in iPhoto....never really used either one or created a slide show. Thanks for the help.
Oh, I'm using iDVD 6.0.4.

Just to round out a discussion of best methods for creating slideshows, here are some threads to some older discussions. You may still find the information helpful:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=967804&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9550928&#9550928 where Old Toad states his preference for creating slideshows directly in iDVD for best quality results.

DVD Burn Error: too much motion menu content yet not much.

hi
Keep getting this when i try to burn my DVD, can anyone advise?
+- The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:+
+- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.+
Message was edited by: Logic Pro

Perhaps you can elaborate a bit more. How many menus do you have in the project? In the scenes menus how many motion buttons do you have? How many differen audio files are you using in the menus? Of the files you dropped into motion menus/buttons, how long are those clips? How long are the various audio files you are using? ? ? ? ?? ????? ???????????
I can't see your project so I have no idea what you are already using and if what you have is clearly excessive or not.

Idvd does not burn dvd

idvd does not burn project to dvd

You're going to give us a lot more information that that.
What version of iDVD do you have?
What happens when you try to burn the iDVD project?
Any messages or warnings?
What type of content do you have, i.e. movies, photos for slideshows?
What brand of DVD disk are your using?
If you get to the point of starting a burn what speed do you select.
