Burned DVD stops playing but soundtrack ok

Hi
When I burn a DVD it burns visuals up to a certain point and then stops. So when I play the DVD I get so far and then picture freezes. The soundtrack seems to be ok though so not sure why this is happening. Anyone any ideas ?

Hi spaceface:
What are you playing it in? The mac DVD player or a
stand alone?

Hi Sue
I am playing it in a DVD player but same problem exists when playing on the Mac. Ive re-tried and heres a copy of the error message I am receiving - probably will narrow the problem down somewhat !
Errors were found during the buring process.
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
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.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

Burned dvd stops before last slide

I had about 125 photos in a slideshow I just burned on a DVD. It plays fine until photo 65 and then stops. My save show plays all the way through in IDVD but the burned dvd stops. Any ideas why or what I can do? It is not a rewritable DVD.

First:

Second:
Create a disk image and see how that plays. Your burned DVD should function the same way. Might be media-related.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

DVDs stop playing

Why would a DVD stop playing? How can a person make a DVD and be sure it will play? Several persons that I have made DVDs for have said that their DVD suddenly stops playing. These DVDs were made with iDVD the "one step to movie" selection under iDVD/File.
I first created a slideshow with Keynote and then exported it to a QuickTime movie and used the QuickTime movie for the iDVD "one step to movie" and burned several DVDs "at the same

Often, that symptom is caused by errors in the burning process. "One Step" can be fine, but I prefer breaking down the process (if you search on "Save as disk image" you'll see concurrence and instructions). Errors can also be the result of low quality disks - Verbatim DVD-R disks are often recommended around here (I also like Sony).

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
but which one..
due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
(example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

Burned dvd wont play on laptop, with Windows 8

I have an HP laptop with dvd drive, running CyberSuite for dvd playing. I can't get burned dvds to play. When I search the dvd drive, it says no files found.

Hi @fjdyhland
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I see that you are having a problem playing DVDs. Is it only the burned DVD you are having a problem with? Do the burned DVDs work in other DVD players? Any issue with regular DVDs or CDs? What is your product number?

I really appreciate the fast sent solution about my failure to burn DVDs with Lion, but I am 89 years old and think I know something about computers, but don't have a clue about ZAPPing PRAM nor RESET SMC. I also can't find any evidence of a preserved earlier OS (Snow Leopard). I also don't know how to partition further my drive after all this time…(I used to have Parallels partitioned) but as I said I cannot find any where on the HD SN. Is it possible that it doesn't exist anymore? Not too technical, please, unless that is the only possible answer to this whole delemna..

Blue colored text in these forums usually indicates a clickable link. The two I posted in https://discussions.apple.com/message/18789716#18789716 bring up Apple's articles on those subjects. For partitioning information, peruse Disk Utilities help files, especially

Burned DVD stops or music skips at 100th chapter

I am creating a slideshow with music in iDVD. When playing the burned dvd the music skips or the dvd stops at the 100th picture. Any fix for the problem? I noticed that iDVD automatically assigns each picture its own chapter so it could be the 100th chapter that causes the problem. If so, is there any way to have more than 1 picture per chapter?
Thanks for your help!

The 99 photos was because, as the original poster indicates, each photo is a chapter and the Video DVD standard (nothing to do with Apple, but the industry standard) is 99 chapters max. These days many players will play past 99 chapters, but many others, especially older ones, the strictly conform to the DVD standard balk when there are more than 99 chapters.
So while iDVD will now allow slide shows past 99 photos, if you want your DVD to be compatible with the most set top players, you are better off limiting your slideshow to no more than 99 photos. If you want more, then you want to create your slideshow manually in iPhoto or iMovie and place your own chapter markers keeping the number of chapters under 100.

Prior to iDVD 6, slideshows were limited to 99 images - and for a good reason. Images in a slideshow are treated as Chapters and each Track (a slideshow is treated as a Track) is limited to 99 Chapters. Apple created a sort of 'hack' in iDVD 6 allowing several Tracks to be linked together creating slideshows of more than 99 images.
The problem is, MANY set-top DVD players don't like the 'hack' and will freeze after 99 images or drop the music after 99 images.
The ONLY sure way to create a slideshow with more than 99 images that will play in all DVD players is to create the slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie.

A DL dvd stops playing

I burned a DL DVD with iDVD software on my iMAC PC. Then on my home DVD player the disc stops playing after 1 hour 12 minutes. Does anyone know what I can do?

Hi Klaus, I have made other DVD's of 90 minutes or more on Dual Layer, but not on my iMAC. They work fine, and still play in my DVD player today.
I am using DL in order to achieve best quality. I can make the same DVD of 90 minutes on Single Layer, but the quality is not so good. The single Layer plays ok from beginning to end without stopping, leading me to believe that the problem occurs on the Double Layer, possibly at the time it switches to the second layer, but I don't really know this.

DVD stops playing and freezes

I have the new iLife and I created a iMovie then with iDVD created a DVD project. I burned this on a TDK DVD+r and a Memorix DVD-r. They both "hang-up" while playing and freeze. Then they start again, but then freeze again. The places that they freeze are different each time. The DVD-r plays perfectly in my computer, but eh DVD+r also stops and "pixalates" What have I done wrong? Any help would be appreciated. I did read through the forum and couldn't find anything to address this. There was one post that mentioned getting Verbatim DVDs but they aren't available in the US. Another post mentioned getting Memorix, so I did try that.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your slideshow using still photos, created in iDVD and have more than 99 slides? And is the pause at the 99th slide? That is to be expected since iDVD, in order to get around the 99 slide chapter limitation (each slide is a chapter when added directly to an iDVD slideshow), it starts the chapter numbering over at 1 when it reaches the 100th slide. That is what creates the slight pause.
Using top notch media and burning at the slowest speed available as already suggested will help minimize the pause between slide 99 and 100.
If that's not what you're experiencing I will disavow any knowledge with this post and it will self delete.

DVD stops playing mid-way

I'm stumped. I'm trying to troublehoot a problem a co-worder is having where they authored a 17 min. DVD that that simply stops playing suddenly in a standalone DVD player right at the 5 minute mark. Captured and edited DV video in FCP. There were initially some offline clips and unrendered clips when I looked at it, but I deleted or rendered all those. No go. I even tried exporting the whole sequence as a QT, re-imported, re-encoded and burned and it still stops right at 5:00. Strange. Plays fine in the DVD SP simulator, but the burned disc won't play on the Mac or in a player. We're using our usual reliable Verbatim media. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for the replies, but I don't think its any of those usual suspects. Total length is 17 minutes or something like that. 7.0 CBR MPEG-2 with 224 kbps Dolby 2.0. No labels. We're thinking there's something wrong with the drive because apparently he's had similar trouble with other projects recently. But I wanted to make sure there wasn't something simple in the software we're missing.

Rob,
Not sure which OS you are running, but there is an updated version of the player software for Win7 that might make a difference...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-80856-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...=
Otherwise, you could try uninstalling the application, and reinstalling it from application recovery.

Pavillion 15 Notebook - CDs, DVDs stop playing after 40-60 seconds

CDs and DVDs start playing normally (sound and video) but stop after 40-60 seconds. For DVDs the Cyberlink Power DVD Error message refers to a "Code - 0102". For CDs the message just says "PowerDVD12.exe has stopped working". All worked when purchased 4 months ago, but stopped working in last month. Tried updated PowerDVD software but no improvement. Reverted to original.
Can anyone help please?

@MillsP ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. From what the Cyberlink support forum states this is due to a flashplayer issue.

Music stops playing but Music app still shows as playing

My wife's 4S keeps having problems while playing music. The sound will stop, but the Music app shows it is still playing. I don't really know what to even try to do to fix this. I may try restoring it. Might be a hardware issue. Any others have this happen? It is one of those issues that occurs at random so its hard to pin down. I may also have her try listening to Pandora for awhile and see if it does the same thing. Might be able to nail down if it is app related or hardware. Nevertheless, that would be one additional thing to tell Apple I tried.

The question is old, I'm not sure if the problem is the same as mine.
Symptoms:
I will be playing music
The song stops playing
If I skip a number of songs I will sometimes get one that works
If I return to "Songs" and search for the song, it will show up with a "download from iCloud" symbol
If I stop playback, then tap the "Download from iCloud" symbol, the song will eventually start playing again
Platform:
iPhone 4
iOS 7
Apple's Music app
Synced using iTunes
iCloud settings (Settings -> iCloud) only cover Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc
I do NOT have "iTunes Match" turned on, nor am I subscribed to iTunes Match
I do have "Show All" turned on for Music and Videos (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I do have "Automatic Downloads" turned on for Music, Apps, Books (Settings -> iTunes and App Store)
I have "Use Cellular Data" turned off in Settings-> iTunes and App Store)
My Music app is signed in for Home Sharing
How I have worked around the problem for the meantime: when listening to music, turn the iPhone 4's "Airplane Mode" on. Sure, I can no longer make or receive phone calls, iMessages, SMS, browse the web, or anything else but at least my music doesn't spontaneously stop.
I have not had problems with the iPhone ceasing playback of music that I loaded onto the device from CDs (i.e.: the problem only occurs with songs that I've bought from the iTunes Music Store).
Having reviewed the settings, I've turned off "Automatic Downloads" in case that's what has caused my problem (i.e. iOS 7 is getting confused about the song being on my iPhone already so it deletes the song and then re-downloads it). This problem has only occurred once every few months, so it's going to be very difficult to verify that any fix or workaround actually works.
