Burning DVD crashes the computer !!!

Firs of all I'm just a starter my problem is that when I try to burn DVD my computer crashes and some times wont even power up till ~30min !
I have tried to use different burning programs with no luck even tried to use different DVD writers also no luck I'm starting to get desperate !!!
Can someone help ???

He meant that we want to know how many Amps your psu can provide on the +12V line(s).
This is what I found in a review on www.rbmods.com through a Google search:
I'm no PSU expert, but running a Geforce8800 GTX on a PSU with 2x12V lines with 18A on each seems like a bad idea to start with. I wouldn't be surprised if that was related to (or responsible for) your problems. A better PSU (single 12V line with 30+ Amps on it) might solve the entire problem, I think.

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD. Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

Macs don't come bundled with iDVD anymore. If you have an older Mac that came with an iLife disk, you can install iDVD from that.
If your Mac didn't come with iDVD, you can still find iLife '11 disks in some stores.
There are other programs that can create DVDs, but I've never used them. From what I've heard, they're not as good as iDVD.

If you try to download Mountain Lion and your system won't support it, will it tell you or just crash the computer?

I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2008. It is a 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB memory and I am currently using OS 10.7 Lion. But it is one of the "silver keyboard" models. I was told by someone that I would not be able to use Mountain Lion. I have already purchased it for use on my new MacBook Pro, and would like to put it on this one as well, but don't know if I should just try it.

Build or Burn dvd / CRASH

Please if any one can help me. This happens it seems each and every time I have many images or say 6 or 7 slide shows. Like if I have say only 3 slide shows with a total of 100 images and 3 movie clips, my burning a dvd goes just fine, every time.
But each and every time I have 6 or 7 slide shows (300 images)and 3 movies as the computer is going thru the building process / burning a DVD after about 15 minutes it just crashes. "Encore has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" Date error report saids "ModName: a2mpgvout.004 ModVer: 1.6.0.15007 Offset 00015056"
My image size is 700 X 525 abut 200kb each. About 300 images.
My used GB is only 3.75gb and I have 948 free mb space.
In the past what I have had to do to make it work is to burn my dvd with only 2 slide shows and 3 movies, then IF all went well I would add another slide show and rename and save a new file. I keep doing then until I get all the slides shows in. I just keep resaving and renaming each saved file. This takes a half a day.
Does anyone understand what it going on? This has been going on for 9 mounts now since day one.
THANKS!!!

Two things might help: adhering to DVD specs and getting more disk space.

Encore CS6 crashes the computer

I have a DVD project authored including a motion menu with motion buttons, chapter points and a play list. The main movie is a Premiere Pro CS6 timeline with chapter points and poster frames. There is also a first play video. The PPRO sequence was imported using Adobe Bridge. When I preview it in Encore it plays fine. Everything works, including the motion buttons, first play and play list. The problem arrises when I try to output the project to DVD. The motion menu renders and the transcoding starts. Then the computer crashes HARD. The reset button won't even work. It is necessary to turn off the power to get it started again. I have tried this several times and it crashes at the same point.
My computer is plenty strong enough with an Intel 4790 Z89 chip and Asus Z89 mother board. The C drive is a solid state drive. The data drives are 2 TB WD drives, not in RAID. 16 Gigs of memory too. I have had absolutely no problems with this setup running other Adobe CS6 applications. I have the Creative Suite bundle.
Has any body else seen this and does any one know what to do to fix it? Am I doing something wrong?
TIA
Joe

The troubleshooting approach depends on whether you are on deadline. If so, replace the dynamic links with exports from PR. Use replace asset.
Otherwise, try these 2 links:

Be sure you are updated to Encore 6.0.2 (for windows).

I've been trying to Share Burn DVD from the project area

In Final Cut Pro X, it is freezing about half way through the process. The process appears to be under way, but in the morning I still don't have a disc. I've updated final cut and restarted the computer with no change. Still freezing during the disc burning process.
Any ideas on how to solve my problem? Should I try sending it to compressor because I thought I would omit this step on this particular project because it is 3.74 GB in size, and a pretty straightforward simple project.
thanks for any help
Tracy

I am having the same problem, Tracy. In my case, it gets to 95% complete and then just sits there, forcing me to quit. It worked fine before upgrading to 10.0.5.

I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

How to burn DVDs without the graphics?

I'm trying to burn a DVD for a client, with only the video piece on the DVD. However, the iDVD keeps putting up the graphics/themes/whichever you call them, and I can't get them off. I've tried autoplay, deleting the graphics - nothing works! I don't want to lose a paycheck over this, so can someone help me?
Thanks

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Firefox crashes the computer

After installing firefox onto Mac OS X Snow Leopard the computer has crashed a lot of times. For example I just quit firefox then the computer shows the blue screen and i am forced to shut down.

pffft same problem here just keeps on happening. Im running some pretty grunty games and my system is ok. as soon as Im using FF for a while my computer freezes. its only when I use FF. Ive checked computer health. Diagnostics, checked for malware and checked drivers. just cant figure it out. any takers?

Time Machine Crashing the Computer

I just set up a 5 terabyte Raid tower striped 0 connected with a Sata II card. I'm trying to backup a 2 terabyte external firewire drive.
I've tested the raid and have written 1 terabyte to the raid without any problems whatsoever. However, when I throw TM into the mix it crashes the finder after 30 to 50 GBs have been written. The computer is totally unresponsive and I get the grey screen of death after a few minutes.
Machine is last years Mac Pro with 12 Gigs. The machine is extremely stable.
Anyone have suggestions, both the firewire and raid seem to work perfectly.

… since I can't edit this post anymore, I'll tell how in continues here. After more reading, the idea struck me to sign out of iCloud in System Preferences. That stopped the alleged Moving, but didn't restore any data. Neither does restoring the user/Library/Calendar folder via Time Machine. So, the question would now bifurcate into: How can I start using iCloud without losing data? And: Why can't I restore Calendar data the described way, and what do I need to do?
Thanks

Burning DVD on another computer

Hello all...
My burner on the G5 is out. I want to burn my DVD Studio Pro file on my iBookG4, so I hooked up the firewire with my G5 as the target. I need to know how to save my DVD Studio Pro file on the G5 so I can burn it on the iBook. I know I've done this before using Disk Utility but I forgot how.
Please help
Thanks,
Hagen

I too have never used Disk Utility to burn a DVD. So today I decided to give it a try.
In DVD Pro make a disk image instead of burning to a DVD.
Open Disk Utility, click on the burn icon.
Your promoted to navigate to the disk image.
Select from the new window your settings.
Burn.
At the end of the burn the finalized process can take a few minutes.
Ah... reading the link from David's post. Now I know how to make a dup of a DVD. So, now I'm free from Toast, yes! If you have already made your DVD follow the directions in David's link.

Firewire- unit crashes the computer (Maxtor)

I have a maxtor external hard disc that has worked fine until now. After installing Retrospect Express something strange happened to my startup objects (they all disappeared) and after that this maxtor unit crashes the machine if I try to mount it.
My question is; can I restore my startup objects and maybe more critical; can I get this external fire wire unit to work for me again. I must add that this unit actually has an usb-connector as well, and mounting it via the usb actually works.
Jon

It works. No more lock-ups for me with the legacy driver.
Here are the instructions (taken from the link above):
Windows 7's built-in FireWire (called IEEE 1394) drivers do not work properly. External devices connected via FireWire will either fail to be recognized properly, or lock up when initiating file transfers of any appreciable size. Luckily there is a relatively simple fix for this issue. Windows 7 includes the older Vista drivers, which work just fine. You simply need to roll back the drivers on your 1394 host adapter by doing the following: Open Device Manager, expand your IEEE 1394 Host Bus Controllers and right-click on your 1394 device, then choose "Update Driver Software". In the new window, click on "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer", then select the driver with the word "legacy" in brackets.
Don't forget to restart after you do this.
