Burning additional dics in iDVD

Hi,
I've worked a lot in iDVD 4, and new to iDVD 5. When I burned a disc, I had no problem, then put in a second disc, and it seemed like in seconds it was done, or got stuck perhaps since it didn't indicate through the steps that it was working, but I checked the disc and it seems fine. In the meantime, since I had panicked in a small way and did a force quit, I tried it again, watched it burn a "first" disc, as before, but this time, when doing an additional disc, it went through a series of steps which took much longer than the first time, though still quick (maybe 20 min. instead of 2 - I wasn't timing it).
Am I imagining that the above happened? Is there reason to believe there is any problem with the first "second" disc? (I couldn't find any, though I'm still running to look for problems.
Thank you so much.

I do have some additional info on "Burning Successful DVD's"...
First, I bought a Lacie External Firewire Lightscribe Dual Layer DVD Burner - ONLY for the purpose of having "LightScribe" DVD's for my Projects.
In other words, I just always used Apple's internal Super Drive to burn all my projects. Well, my above post talked about many many many ruined DVD's. I have tried all different brands and so many burns are inconsistant.
I sick and tired of reading all the excuses on these forums (use Apple DVD's or Name Brand DVD's). So I decided maybe this is the SUPERDRIVE!!
Guess what? I NEVER have a bad burn using the Lacie drive. EVER!!!! It doesnt matter what type of DVD I use, Brand, Color, +R, -R, etc - they ALL come out 100% perfect!!!
So now you tell me, with all these forums and complaints I have read over and over about inconsistant, choppy or poor quality DVD Projcts?? Could it be all this time we have been fighting with poor quality SuperDrives???
I tell you what - I will never go back to using the internal SuperDrive. All the DVD's I wasted and time trying so many different brands.
My solution was staring at me all this time!!
Now with the advice from Shippy and the hard knocks life learning DVD Brand doesnt matter - Im off using my Lacie burner with Lighscribe and moving on.
Shame on you Apple!!!! Get better quality Superdrives.

  • "Waiting for device to become ready" can't burn additional copies

    I created an iMovie and burned about six copies on iDVD. When i went to put in the seventh disk it sort of froze up with the "Waiting for device to become ready" message never going away. I attempted to shut everything down, even turned the computer off for awhile thinking maybe it was overheated but several hours later its doing the same thing. It will burn the first copy but get hung up when attempting to burn additional ones. Any suggestions???

    It's often recommended areound here to let the optical drive cool down after burning 3-4 disks in a row.
    See if you can burn any kind of disk via the Finder to make sure the drive is OK.  Also I suggest you follow this workflow for future projects:
    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.
    The save as disk image as mishmumken recommended will save you from having to reencode the project if you want to burn another copy at a later date.  It also lets you verify the encoding process before committing the project to disk.

  • I'm trying to burn an iMovie in iDVD and at the end of the whole burn process it says "Multiplexer Error" "there was an error during formatting".  How do I fix it so that it'll burn?

    I'm trying to burn an iMovie in iDVD and at the end of the whole burn process it says "Multiplexer Error" "there was an error during formatting".  How do I fix it so that it'll burn?

    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST

    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.

    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    • Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    • Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs

    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.

    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.

    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.

    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • Does iDVD work with Maverick? This is the first time I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything.

    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.

  • Hello,  I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD.  This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project.  I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

    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.

    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.

  • 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,

    Hi
    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.

    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 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? 

  • 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.

    No, you can't write to it again. You can't write a session from the Finder. You need to use Disk Utility or an application like Toast. Here's how to do it with Disk Utility.
    Recording on a CD-R disc more than once
    Normally, you can only burn information to a CD-R disc one time. If you use a CD-RW disc, you can erase the disc and then record on it again.
    There is a way to use a CD-R disc more than once. If you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can set up the disc to accept more disk images in the future. This way, you can burn a disk image now and add to the disc later until there is no more room on the disc. This is called "multisession" burning.
    IMPORTANT: Some formats (such as ISO) only allow one disc burning session. Others, such as HFS+ (Mac-OS Extended) allow more than one session until the disc is filled.
    1 Create a folder for the session and drag the items you want to burn into the folder.
    2 Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.
    3 Select Images > New > "Image from Folder." Then select the folder you created in the navigation window and click Open.
    4 Type a name for the image, choose a disk format, and click Save.
    5 When the disk image is complete, select it in the left column of the Disk Utility window.
    6 Choose Images > Burn or click Burn in the tool bar.
    7 Insert a blank CD in the optical drive.
    8 Select the "Leave disc appendable" checkbox. If you don't see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner to see this option.
    9 Click Burn.
