Burned dual layer disk w/idvd 603- audio out of sync w/video

i burned a dual layer disks with idvd 6.0.3 and the video stalls about 20secs in, and then when it uh, "unstalls", the audio and video are totally out of sync. this goes on for the whole 90 min movie. if i play a scene from the scene selection menu, it works fine. also, it works fine when i play the movie from the project file from either imovie or idvd. its only the final burned product thats affected. i tried deleting the "encoded assets" and burning it again, which didnt work, same problem. finally, i tried both disks on a settop dvd player and apple dvd player application on a few different computers.
dont know what to do. the idvd project file is working fine untill i burn a disk. the problem is only on the burned dvd. so i guess i need to trash my whole project (AGAIN!!! YAY!!!) and start over (AGAIN!!! YAY!!!). wow, ive never had so many problems with an application before in my life. i dont have much hair left to pull out.

Have you tried burning a disc image to the desktop yet from the file menu within iDVD6 and using apple's dvd player app to actually play said disc image?
Click here
if the image plays exactly as expected then we're looking at a media issue and not an iDVD issue. j/c ...what brand of media and type are you currently using? Verbatim & maxell are the recommended choices ....
also try lowering the burn speed within apple's disc utilities or Toast to 4x or lower.

Can't Burn Dual Layer Disk

I have a project in Encore CS6 that I have been trying to burn to a dual layer disk using an external LG Dual Layer Burner. It is connected to by computer via USB. My Computer Specs are as follows:
ASUS X53Z Series
Windows Edition: Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
Processor: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 6.00GB (5.48 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System
It is a laptop computer.
I have already looked for a solution to this problem, and the only thing I found was that I should click "run as administrator," so I tried that, but it didn't help. When I am burning the disk, it freezes right after the transcoding process. It goes into the writing process and it freezes at 167.94 KB out of 555.35 MB (this is only a test disk, so it's still small at the moment). I know that I am following all the menu limits (etc.), because I was able to burn a single layer DVD, but when I put the movie onto the disk, I will need it to be a Dual Layer DVD. Do you have any suggestions?

As a test... Create a DVD output ISO file and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

Burnning dual layer dvd Encore CS5.5 errors out.

Here is the greatest error I have ever seen.
I got to burn a dual layer dvd transcoded from AVCHD 1080i with fallowing settings.
Edited footage in PPro and send to Encore via Dynamic link, created dvd project using Mpeg2 with 9mbps, Dolby 192 for Audio.
File size to be burned on dvd is 5.67gb, aprox 1 hour 10 min transcoded with 9mbps, 720x40 wide screen, audio is 192kbps Dolby.
There are three menus one is main and tow sceen selection menus, noting fancy everything as default. menus linked as usual nothing fancy and and it is very basic.
All assets, that used for motion menus and main video is transcoded fine, but when it gets to put dvd together I get this error
Encore starts organizing videos for disk and after that it gets to this above and thats it. Press ok Build progress box gives fail message and option to Ok it. After pressing Ok button this box goes away to build panel.
I have tried to change an Automatic layer break to manual still get the same error, I have tried a custom layer break and still get the same error again, I have tried dvd, and an image, and folder for dvd, still the same error there to. I have redone project from scratch and still got the same result.
However previously I have burned many Dual layer dvds using the same method described, and same settings described, and never had this problem.
Nothing on the PS was changed except the updates installed regularly.
Anybody have any Idea what is this all about? Because I just burned 16 Blu Ray discs, and 16 Dual layer discs on one of the project, and next one a day latter this happens.

I'm having the same problem. not once did it, the encore was automatically break in the case of dual layer dvd. now he does not. I mark the box DUAL LAYER 8.54gb, do DVD disc or image or folder, or change the marking of the layer break from automatic tomanual, and it does not. in the end he always gives the message: duallayer requerid.
wanted to know how to do this manually break, because even in the manual or here on the website of adobe, has no suchinformation. does not show clearly how to manually break. please if someone can give a help, thank you.

Audio out of sync with video in timeline SOLVED

The audio and video are in sync when playing .MP4 video (but may apply to other video files) in the Premiere Pro viewer and Windows Media Player and VLC however, as soon as you drag the clip into the timeline it goes out of sync. Since it took so much time for me to figure out how to get around this problem I wanted to share this, ESPECIALLY For all the people who are semi Adobe Premiere noobs (with no disrespect, I fall into this category) at this and google isn't helping to figure out why this is happening I'll give you the easy fix. For all the people in this forum who are going to ask the detailed information, codecs, etc. I'll give that as well.
FOR THE NOOBS:
All the information I've read online all seems to point that the timeline sometimes doesn't like certain audio contained in the video. It conforms incorrectly, etc. Personally, it doesn't make any sense to me. Forget all that.. you just want to get on with your project.. to heck with the details, you're tired of googling. Here's the solution I found. Extracting the audio from the problematic video file outside of Adobe Premiere. I use avconv, because it's free, open source, and you won't lose audio quality. Then linking that audio with the video in Adobe Premiere.
First if you are using a windows 32 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win32/
If you are using a windows 64 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win64/
go to the bottom of the page and click on the newest date version. DISCLAIMER: This is open source software. It's free. I didn't make it so I'm not trying to sell you anything.
It's a zip file so you will need to use winzip or 7zip to uncompress it. You can't just click on the installer. You can uncompress and save the program wherever you want on your computer. Say you didn't pay attention and you automatically saved it in the default spot in your downloads folder. The place you'd find the program might look like this if you're on a 64 bit computer:
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64 If you're on a 32 bit computer it will probably look like this C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win32
Just make sure you know where it is located and copy it down in notepad. If you can't find it, do a search on your C: drive for avconv .For this forum thread we will assume you have saved avconv in the downloads folder and you're on a 64 bit computer.
Click on the Windows key on your keyboard. Type in Run and then press enter. Type in CMD and press enter. This will open up windows command line. Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think.
Now hold down the Windows key and press E. This will open up a windows explorer window for you to find the video file you are having issues with in Adobe Premiere. Once you have found the file, copy the location of the file. So.. if your file was here: c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4 you would see that at the top of the windows explorer in what's called the address bar. Copy that. Paste it into your notepad.
Now switch back to the windows command line window. Now I'm going to have you type a command into the windows command line but before you do I want you to understand how to type it in.
#1. Do you know the exact path (location on your computer) where you installed avconv?
#2. Did you copy the exact path (location on your computer) where you have your video file?
If so.. type in the command below but change it with the information you have above
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe -i "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" -vn -qscale 1 "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav"
So let's break it down so you understand and help troubleshoot any issues you may have.
C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64 this is the example location we said we installed avconv. The actual avconv.exe program is located inside that folder so the full path would be this: C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe
-i just tells avconv what the input file is.
"c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" is the path (location on your computer) where your video file is.
-vn just tells avconv you only want to extract audio from the video
-qscale 1 just tells avconv you want the best quality
"c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav" just tells avconv the path (location on your computer) and the name you want to give the audio file you're taking from the video. This will save the audio wav file to the path (location on your computer) where the problematic video file is saved.
Once you have the audio wav file import it into Adobe Premiere. In the timeline, unlink the audio from the mp4 (or whatever video file you have). Highlight the now unlinked mp4 audio and delete the audio. Then bring your audio wav file you created using avconv and bring it onto the timeline at the start of the video. Now link it. Hopefully that did the trick.
If you have any questions regarding the command line or installing avconv please feel free to comment and ask. I'm pretty good at windows command line and can probably help identify what the issue is.
FOR THE INFORMED PREMIERE PRO USERS:
Here are the details of the problematic video file that I had this issue with. This is from avconv:

I don't know the type make/model video camera that was used or if it was converted before being given to me. This is just what i had to work with and the solution I found to fix it.

if you are using a windows 32 bit computer
Then you won't be using anything above Premiere Pro CS4, and this thread would be in the wrong section.
By the way, the process is significantly easier using something like Xvid4PSP, which can strip out the audio using a fairly easy to understand GUI, as wel as convert those oddball videos into something PP can handle.

Burning Dual Layer DVD in Disk Utility vs. Burn Folder

Using Disk Utility, I created an Image, (File > New Image from Folder), The resulting .dmg file was about 8.3 Gigabytes. Still in Disk Utility, I select the volume (Filename.dmg) and click Burn, insert a dual layer disk and get a "Disk does not have enough free space" message. I create another image of the same folder, but select "Compressed", giving a folder size of about 6.2 Gigabytes. I try to burn this but again get the "not enough free space" message.
Now I try creating a Burn Folder, put the 6.2 gb Filename.dmg in the folder and select Burn, It burns fine.
Why does the Burn Folder method work and not Disk Utility? What am I missing?
I would appreciate any insight.
Geoff

Hi James:
When you try to copy the dual-layer you may encounter problems because the layer-break may not be where you think it should be.
When you try to copy the actual dual Layer DVD, iDVD will inform you that doing so may result in a disc that has playback problems in DVD players. It states that you are better off burning it with iDVD than from a Disk Utility.
3rd party software that will help would be Roxio's Toast 6, 7 or Popcorn.

Best External dvd burner for dual layer disks?

Hi everyone,
At some point my internal dvd burner in my mac book pro died, and apple replaced it. After that, I couldn't burn a dual layer disk. They've changed it twice more to accomodate me (the genius bar is awesome), but I still only have mediocre results. No problem burning regular dvds or cds. So I wondered is there a REALLy good external burner for DVD-DL that you have experience with? Thanks!

A good bootable multi-interface enclosure (empty) for an external CD/DVD drive will run about US$70.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSFW8U2RF/
They also sell SATA drives pre-installed in that same enclosure.
Many users find installing an internal drive themselves no more difficult than doing a memory upgrade themselves.
Others prefer not to work inside their computer.
Based on your graphics card and the original drive, I expect your Mac Pro is an older model. All before 2009 accept an ATA INTERNAL drive such as this:

That page also has a video of how to install a replacement DVD drive.

Can my dv5 1017nr laptop burn DVD + R Dual Layer Disks?

Im just wonder if my laptop can burn Dual Layer format!

It should be able to do it. Which burning software do you have? I know nero will do a hardware info that will tell you what the drive is capable of burning. Also you can go into device manager and get the identification of the drive and then googe it to see if you can find the specs for the drive. I googled your laptop model and some standard specs on the internet showed you have a DVD-RW DL drive that can also read Blu-Rays. Burning dual layers is a bit difficult. They always want to give out on the jump to the second layer. I make an .iso file of the source disk and burn from that. It seems to work best.

Burning to dual layer disks

In DVD Studio Pro 4, my movie is too large to fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD disk (I got a dialog box saying the media won't fit). Is there a preference item or setting somewhere, where I can set it to dual layer disk instead of a single layer disk. Toast has such a setting option. Does DVD Studio Pro 4?

Welcome to the Boards
As  Certified mentioned you will need to set the disc to Dual Layer
Press the "F3" key and it will look like the image in the following link:
[Lay of Land|http://dvdstepbystep.com/layofland.php]
The disc will be in the upper left section (blue), and in the image in the link it is "Untitled Disc", click on it and in the inspector (in the lower section in bright purple) the second tab from the left will "Advanced" where you set the DL.
One important thing to keep in mind is that you will need a layer break since you using a Dual Layer Disc - there has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets) you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size.
What you do is
1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
2.) Build the project (but not format)
3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not.

Burn dual layer?

I know this is not specifically an IDVD question, but I am trying to compare the capabilities of both IDVD and Roxio Toast. I know IDVD can burn a dual layer disk, even though they warn against a dual layer disk image.
But does anybody know if Toast will burn a dual layer, either disk or disk image...if so, how?
Hope this question isn't out of line on an Apple forum.

Toast can burn a DL disc. So can iDVD. The warning you are referring to is about the transition from layer one to layer two when using apple's DU. The Help Menu reads that it is best to use iDVD itself when using DL medias. Toast has less of an issue with the same tansition to the second layer. However, I think Len Goff has pointed out many times that he burns DL (Verbatim at 4x or slower) frequently using the first approach w/o issues in spite of what is stated in the Help Menu for apple's iDVD regarding DL media and a disc image. Please do a search on this forum to confirm the above. Good luck and hope this info is helpful.

Dual layer disk, single layer capacity! What am I missing

Greetings,
I have a project which is 6GB in size, so I'm burning onto a dual-layer DVD which 'Project Information' says is ~7.2GB in size. For the record this matches what 'More Info' gives me when I insert a blank disk and check the details from the desktop DVD icon. I also select 'dual layer' in the Project setup.
Problem is that this seems to truncate at ~4.9GB.
If I get 'More Info' from the burned DVD it says that the capacity is 4.9GB and it's full.
What am I missing here?
Any help greatly appreciated.
jon

I guess for the same reason that completing the iDVD
tutorial isn't compulsory...
...which, of course, everyone reads dutifully... however, at the risk of sounding trite, while the manual says "select Best Quality when recording dual-layer disks" it doesn't add the killer-qualifier "... otherwise your disks won't record properly" *. This is the lesson learnt.
Just to be clear here - this issue is not about misunderstanding the potential vs actual capacity within the two encoding-modes, as iDVD indicates in the Project Info that this is sufficient...
By the way... referring to '*' above and to wrap this bad boy up nicely I can confirm that the recommendation from SDMacuser is totally on the money - if you encode the image to disk and then use Disk-Utility/Toast to burn to the disk at a slower speed then everything's just fine and dandy... so maybe the manual should be modified to append "... unless you're encoding to a disk image which you then burn to media using Disky Utility"
Thanks to all
ev@0r8
The name of the two compression modes can be confusing: 'Best
Performance' gives you UP TO 60 minutes of content on a SL disc and
UP TO 120 minutes of content on a DL disc. 'Best Quality' gives
you UP TO 120 minutes of content on a SL disc and UP TO 240
minutes of content on a DLdisc.

Dual Layer Dics from iDVD on iSight iMac

on the iLife page it says that iDVD supports dual layer disc on a Powermac. but Since the new iMacs have dual layer burners does this mean iDVD will happily burn dual layer dvd's?

You do not have to make your movie size smaller. As long as the content of your movie, the iDVD menus and submenus is under 120 minutes, and you choose 'High Quality' or 'Professional Quality' setting in iDVD's preferences, you can burn to a single layer DVD. iDVD automatically compresses the data to fit.
Be sure to use a good brand of DVD disk, such as Verbatim, Maxell, Taio Yuden. Many people have had problems with store brands, TDK and Memorex.
Burn at a slow speed of 4x or less.
I have burned many movies to DVD; most were around 25-30 GB in size, but some were 60-100 GB. All were under 120 min, and all burned fine.

What is the best software to burn dual layer DVDs?

I was reading posts on a video forum and a number of the posts indicated that they had difficulty with burning software other than imgburn. However it does not run on a mac. I have used Toast for my burning. But I suspect I'll have to upgrade from Toast 7 to a newer version to burn dual layer. Another virtually universal comment was to only use Verbatum media. Should I look at another program?

Allthough Apple has dropped support of iDVD it still works with all system versions up to Mt Lion. So if you still have it it's the best option available. There is just no other video DVD authoring applicaiton for the Mac that is as versitile, easy to use and producing such professional looking disks.
If you don't have iDVD on your Mac you can get it by purchasing an iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com.
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Please help! why is the DVD burner not burning dual layer media in my G5?

I have tried, unsuccessully, to burn dual layer DVD's on my G5 using the latest iDVD software (iLife '08) but to no avail. I switch to dual layer in iDVD but invaribly, I always get a multiplexing error at the end of the burn. Any suggestions?
Rick

Are there any plans to update OS 10.4.11 to include a firmware update for the DVD drive? Or has it already been changed in Leopard?
Depending on what model of Superdrive you have, there may be a firmware update from the manufacturer, just not from Apple. Updating to the latest firmware from the manufacturer often provides for better media compatibility, faster burn speeds, and sometimes even features that were disabled by Apple's version of the firmware.
DVD-R DL discs have one major drawback if you're using them to burn video DVDs - you have no control over where the layer break is placed. The first layer must always be filled completely before any data is written to the second layer. DVD+R DL does not have this limitation. You can place the layer break anywhere you like, just as long as the first layer is more full than the second.
