Burn won't fit - is it minutes or MB's?

I'm getting the message that my songs won't fit on one CD. There are 55 songs (actually spoken word) 1.5 hours, 482 MB. The CD is 80 min, 700 MB. Is it the minutes or the MB that is important? 482 MB should fit easily.

Its where your burning an audio CD.
All your songs/books are in either MP3 or AAC both being compressed formats. When a program gets ready to burn an audio CD, it has to uncompress the song(s) and burn them in a uncompressed format so a regular CD player can read it.
So the 400 and something MB COMPRESSED files when uncompressed are MUCH larger. If you look at the blank CD or the case it came in, it will tell you how many minutes of music it can hold on average. I THINK most 700MB CDs hold 80min worth of audio

DVD burning won't fit

Hi!
I'm trying to burn an archive DVD from iPhoto.
I have a smart album of 4.3 GB, and it won't fit. Thing is, it says that it's 6.8 GB. Basically, the info window when the album is selected shows 4.3 GB, th burn pop-up pane shows 6.8, and they both show the same amount of pictures.
When I select the entire library, the info window shows 5.8, and the burn shows 7.4.
What gives?

I think it's possible that when you want to burn a DVD archive, iPhoto probably keeps your library intact and wants to include thumbnails, all originals and modified photos.
The info window in iPhoto usually shows the total disk space occupied by the photos you're looking at, so that would include unmodified originals + the modified photos, but not the originals of the modified photos.
If you only want to save in the current state, you can drag the photos out to the burn folder or DVD icon and you will get the viewed photos (some will be originals if you've never edited them, the rest will be modified photos) but you won't be able to revert a photo to original later on.
I've not done this recently, so see if you can verify this yourself - try a smaller archive and see if all originals and modified photos are retained. I think they would be.

TS1362 My blank cd says 80 min. or 700 MB. Playlist in Itunes says 1.6 hrs., 213 MB. It won't burn, itunes says it won't fit onto cd. What's up with this?

I don't understand why itunes won't burn my playlist to a blank CD. CD-R says 80 min, or 700 MB. Playlist shows 176 MB, 25 songs, 1.3 hrs. I don't understand why it won't fit onto one CD.

If you are burning an audio CD, use the time/length of the playlist.
If you are burning and MP3/data CD, use teh size (MB) of the playlist.
Note that there needs to be room for directories and other info on teh disc which will nto be displayed in teh size of the playlist.
The disc may hold 80 minutes but a playlist of 80 minutes will not fit.
Usually, you can get ~70 minutes max.

One hour 25 minutes won't fit on a single layer

Hey People,
Using Toast 7, I get the error that 1:25 min. won't fit on a single layer Verbatim. ???
It is an export from FCE with lots of editing if that makes a difference.
iDVD is not much use; it spits out blank disks during multiplexing stage but pretends to keep burning,
a common problem I know but I have never been able to fix it.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

Hi
This is my notes on first part - From FC to iDVD (or Toast™)
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Can't burn a CD, says it "won't fit"

I have made 12 mix CD compilations on iTunes. All of them have been 15-tracks long. I'm on my 13th one and it will not burn. I press "Burn Disc" and it says that I will need multiple CDs to burn it. The CD has nothing on it. The size of the burn is 78 MB and 56 minutes. My ninth CD was burned with iTunes and it is 82 MB and 57 minutes. I actually decided to try burning the ninth one on this CD and it worked. What is going on?

On a mac you can send the photos to imovie, iphoto, or iDVD if you have that. The only kind of video disc PSE can make (on either platform) is the horrible VCD format, which was never very good and is fast becoming obsolete. It's getting harder to find dvd players that can read that format.

How to solve Audition CS6 error "The amount of audio to burn will not fit on the CD........."?

I have a brand new PC that is MORE than adequate. I have once succeeded in burning a CD after learning all about time tracks and merging them. (made a few with only ONE track)
Two things:
1) I find that I must add a CD marker at the end of the WAV because Audition CS6 erases whatever is the last CD marker I've made. Very frustrating but now I know I have to do this but I have no idea WHY!!
2) Right now I have a WAV that is just over 1 hour and 3 minutes with a total of 637.74MB of info. When I try to export/burn a CD, I get an error message stating "The amount of audio to burn will not fit.......". I am using TDK 700MB blanks with a Pioneer Blu-ray burner.
Obviously it will fit.
What am I doing wrong, all of a sudden?

Hey ryclark,
Thanks for responding. Something else is going on here.....
Here's what I re-replied to our friend...
Thanks for the response.
When I built this computer last Nov/Dec, it was built with the second
fastest Intel 7i, quad-core chipset on an 64-bit ASUS motherboard. It's running
Win 7 Pro. It has a 500GB SSD "C" drive with another 14 TB of true hard
drive space. It is set up with 64 bit. I had been using Audition CS3 for many
years and even go back to it's origin: Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. My
learning curve was minimal, sans the CD burning, which I used other software
for which is now antiquated, so I need Audition for this. Between this and
IZotope 3 I've repaired and improved many a recording. All-in-all extremely
useful software.
As for the idea "to burn it anyway", well the error message comes up and
that's it - if I "X" out of that message and try to burn again the message
comes back - so Audition will not let me. It is convinced that this file is
longer than it really is, but only when I add track marks to it!
There are only 11 tracks.
I was able to burn a CD of this same file but without all the track marks,
so the same exact file length/size will burn, only as the one track.
I've also succeeded in burning other WAV's , both greater and smaller, with
and without multiple track marks, without issue. Of course all with less
than the CD's max. capacity.
This problem seems to be with this one file. I've even re-made/re-recorded
the file from scratch with no change. There's something else going on here
that I can't put my finger on. (I am "recording" LP's and making personal
CDs of them)
Also, only from time to time, I have another error after burning a CD that
states it could not verify the CD. For this I assume it is the blank rather
than AA? The first might burn without issue and with the second burn I
get the error. It is near the end of a stack of blanks, so.....
As for the need to "mark the end" of the file makes a lot of sense but of
all the other CD track-marking software I've used, none needed one to do
this, but this IS Adobe after all.
You'd think there might be a smidge of intuitiveness with Adobe, but maybe
not.

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Good luck and you are welcome.
Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track. In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates. Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions. I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

Pc card won't fit

I backed up all my stuff from my old hp computer to a Toshiba 5-GB PC Card drive. I transferred most of it to my new Satellite L305 through a USB cable (I think; Properties doesn't work) but one thing doesn't work and now I find the card won't fit. It goes part way into the PC Card slot but it won't go all the way in. I tried both ways, a reasonable amount of force, ejector button in or out; it simply will not go in. Computer (from Start) won't recognize it. I'm afraid to really jam the thing in. Why won't it fit???
Roger AC Williams

That system has an ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slot. I may be wrong, but I don't believe it will accomodate a PC Card.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Many thanks for the diagnostics.
Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:

I wonder if this comment on the Amazon site is the answer to my problems?
PLEASE NOTE: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening
If that is the case then I am stuck with the Griffin one or just use the original.
Thanks for your observations guys
