Burning 16:9 in iDVD
I am using FCE v. 1.0.1. I imported my DV in the 16:9 format. I now want to burn a DVD in IDVD (I Life 05 version). I am able to burn but it remains in the 4:3 format. Any suggestions
I exported a Final Cut moive then imprted it into iDVD 5 and it comes in as 4:3 format.
I have Final Cut Studio on the way and hope that I can import the file in to FC 5 and then use the authoring software DVD Studio Pro 4 to burn the 16:9 format.
Update all those apps first. I think all the updates total about 115MB...

You might consider just importing the file into DVD Studio Pro 4.0.2. DVD Studio Pro will do the encoding. I prefer to export out of Final Cut Pro as MPEG-2, but your case, at this point, is different.

I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick, first time I tried after upgrading to Maverick a few weeks ago. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I did not have a DVD handy to burn but I have just created a small 2 minute video and created a Disk Image and also a VIDEO_TS folder, the encoding worked correctly, so it works with some items.
You may get a better responce in the iDVD forum.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.
DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?
Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

I made and burned a slideshow in iDVD and gave a copy to a friend with a Mac notebook. She would like to made copies of it. Can she do it if she doesn't have iDVD?
She can easily make copies of the DVD using Finder:

Ken Burns effect flickering in idvd
Finally have a decent burned dvd after much trouble BUT where ever I have used the Ken Burns effect, on still photos and adding titles, the clip flickers. Like little vibrations. Totally unacceptable. What has caused this? Anyone have this problem? Help!
OK.... So I am now trying to burn some copies in idvd >onestep dvd from movie - which i have done before with no trouble. Yesterday every time i tried to do this ( 3 times), less than halfway thru processing (or encoding) it just stopped. I finally quit idvd. I have 16 Gb available in HD and shouldn't that be enough for a 20 minute film?
Another thing. Shouldn't I be able to play the other dvds i have burned on my computer? Neither one of them will read when inserted. They play fine on my dvd player. And movies i have bought play fine on my computer. ???? So today i bought a dvd lens cleaner and even that won't read when inserted. The salesman at the store that sells Macs where i live told me this morning that my burned dvds would not play on my imacG4 because it did not have the new processor. Is that true? Again, thanks for your help and advice. I have learned much from you! -
Burning a project in idvd Question.
Hi, I have a project that claims its 5.7gb. I changed the burning disk to a 8gb so i would have plenty of room for the project. The movie is in large format and is only 1hr 17 min. When I burned the project it took about 3 hrs then it ejected with 5min left during the burn stage. It didnt burn any of the idvd project. I cant figure out what happened. Any help would be great!
Thank you,
chadHi
iDVD doesn't care about Gs at all. I have 50Gbs movies that burn OK and 1Gbs that don't.
iDVD only cares about TIME (including DVD-menu - elaborate = less movie).
60 minute limit to Best Performance Quality - and -
120 minutes for - Pro Quality and High Quality
on Single Layer DVDs (about double ob DL-disks)
*I made a list on thoughts about DVD-Quality - se belove*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
*• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.*
*less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.*
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?
How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?
Move your iPhoto Library and/or your iTunes library to and external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run them from there. Be sure to try the libraries on the EHD before you delete them from the boot drive.
This should easily free up the 25 GB minimum needed for iDVD to create and burn video DVD efficiently.
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. -

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Reduce your burn speed to 1/2 the Rating of the Media.
Disc Burner
If more than one supported disc burner is connected to your computer, choose one from the menu.
Preferred Speed
When you burn a CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Disc Format
Choose the type of disc you want to burn: Audio CD; MP3 CD; or Data CD or DVD.
Gap Between Songs
Choose the amount of silence, if any, between songs.
Use Sound Check
To have all songs on the disc play at the same volume, select this option.
Include CD Text
To include information that CD players in some vehicles can display, select this option. -
I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD.
I cannot burn my movie onto IDVD. Says multiplexing error. Tried rerendering it as suggested on error code. Apple wants to charge me $29 to look into it and says the money is non refundable. Suggested I come here. Can anyone help me? Please...
I went to the TROUBLESHOOTING desk yesterday at our APPLE store. I got 15 minutes free. They told me that IDVD is no longer supported by APPLE and my Mac Mini is 5 years old, therefore, I'm out of luck. They told me to download new software and I thought the technician said the software is called IM DVD, but of course, I get home and I can't find it. Now what?

Where do you save a movie project for burning DVD's using iDVD?
I recommend that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then in iDVD, you open the Media Browser and navigate to your project. You can drag it into your iDVD project from there.
You can also use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and save to the location of your choice. You can then drag and drop into iDVD. -
Error #-34506 when burning a DVD from iDVD 5.0.1
Hi everybody,
Everytime I try to burn a a finished iDVD project (a big QuickTime movie), I get a message : "There were errors while multiplexing and burning", error#-34506. In reality the project wasn´t burned, the DVD is empty. When I burn a short slideshow - no problems. I tried different manufacturers of DVD-Rs to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac 2GHz DP, 39 GB free harddisk space, MacOS 10.4.2, iLife 5, newest updates
Regards, AdamI have the exact same problem. I am running a brand new iMac G5 2ghz with 10.4.2 and iDVD 5.01 and QT 7.03. I have tried it by importing my DV and MOV files into iDVD. Same failure with differnt media, even skipping one clip that I thought might be problematic.
Have further tried it with different compression settings in preferences... high quality vs. high performance. Same error.
Imported movies into iMovie and tried to run iDVD from there.... everything crashed. After a reboot, tried it again, and this time at least got a description of the error... something to the effect of "there was burning error but the disk has been untouched and can be reused, please try again..."
Am no trying to reimport clips into imovie, and export as one movie in both DV and MOV formats, to try it again..
Apple help couldnt even find the error number much less offer any other help..
IDEAS?? -
how do I burn a DVD without idvd?
There really isn't a 3rd party DVD authoring application for Macs that can hold a candle to iDVD. You can purchase iDVD (and the discontinued iWeb) by purchasing a copy of the boxed iLife 11 disk from one of the 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com: iLife 11. It's well worth the price IMO.
