Burning dvd issue

so I feel pretty dumb. I have tried EVERYTHING it seems to burn a dvd for my son. I tried to convert the file through isquint and tv format and then burn through the finder "burn new playlist" and then push burn, and it writes it to the disk. My mom got me the disks, Dynex dvd-r. And when I burned it, tried to play it in my sons dvd player, i get a disk error.
I don't have toast, what else am I doing wrong? lol

I have never used iSquint but isn't that for converting videos to iPod format?
To me, Toast Platinum is the best solution. In the long run it saves time and is much cheaper than creating coasters
You can DL Toast online for immediate use, and they also ship the CD for backup, etc.
Converting formats and then creating playable videos for DVD players is a very complex process. Toast does it all and has never failed me.

  • Burned DVD issues in DVD player not reading or music issues stop and start

    I'm a PC converted to a MAC (less than a month) and love it so far. I have been able to create and burn a DVD. The problem I'm having is one DVD player will not read the DVD (Hitachi). The other DVD player will play it, but the music stops and starts when it transitions (twirl) to another picture (Panasonic DVD/VHS combo). I'm using a DVD R Memorex. Neither one of the player are new. Would love to use this to make the Grandparent's a DVD of the grandchildren from birth to present as Christmas present. What do I need to use or do to be able to watch on any DVD player as well as the computers?

    Hi me01
    Welcome to apple discussions. Try using 99 photos / less to avoid issues with audio fades / drops. Also do a search for Memorex on this forum and you'll see it's not the first choice of dvd's for most users. Instead try Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 4x from a disc image for best results. Wish you luck and feel free to post back with results or any further questions.

  • Burn DVD Issue problem

    Hello, My issue is after opening encore and inserting or opening a project I try and use the build to burn the project to a DVD and it does not work.

    This is the Premiere forum.  You should ask in the Encore forum.

  • Burned DVD issues

    This has been getting on my nerves for the longest time. The superdrive in my Powerbook G4 will ONLY play DVD-Rs by one brand: Teon. Not Sony, not Mitsubishi, not anything else.
    Other people have Powerbook G4's, and the very same discs that don't work for me... they work perfectly fine for everyone else.
    AND, to add to the saga, I THOUGHT that I had found a new brand that works for me, but it turns out that the DVD-R brand in question only works when copied from a computer and not a DVD duplicator.
    What the heck is going on? Anyone know?
    Should the DVD player be this finnicky? I've checked for appropriate updates on the apple webpage, and there's nothing I need there.
    The computer doesn't even read them. It takes it in, spins for a few seconds, and then spits it out (Teon brand DVD-R's excluded, of course).
    AHHH!

    Hi, papacheesy. See the first paragraph of my reply in this thread. Are all the discs you've tried rated for only 1x or 2x burn speed? How about the Teon discs: what speed are they rated for? And what speed(s) have the various disks actually been burned at?

  • Having Major issues trying to burn DVD's.

    I did not have any issues this past week burning DVD's for family members. I decided to put it on hold for a few more days to make our holiday travel trip to DE. I arrived, opened the program, began the burning process (which by the way took close to 4 1/2 almost 5 hours) and when I thought it was finally completed...an error message appeared about a multiplexer.
    After reviewing previous issues with others having the same problem, they said to check the hard drive and or the monolingual setting, etc. Possibly would help to remove some unwanted or unnecessary items.
    Would this really resolve my problem?
    How would I access the Hard Drive and or Monolingual settings to do so?
    I'm by no means a computer guru, but do know how to access a few things.
    Also, I believe my DVD+RW has plenty of space, considering the content was just burned on a few DVD's earlier just last week. It holds approximately 120 minutes/4.7GB...and the movie itself is only 60 minutes long with 2.4 GB of the DVD being used.
    PLEASE HELP! This DVD is a very important tribute for my family, due to my recent Grandfather's sudden death!
    Thank You!

    I think you can solve your problem very simply.
    Change your Media to Maxell 16X DVD-R Not +RW
    If I am right your particular Optical Drive doesn't like + or RW not to mention if you have 10.0
    Check the packaging of the Maxell 16X DVD-R and make sure it says it reads and writes 1X-2X-4X-8X and 16X
    Repair Permissions in the disk utility, then my quess is your problems will go away.

  • Quality Issues Burning DVD's

    I am new to iDVD and iMovie.
    I am hoping to be able to burn a DVD that will play on a
    standard DVD player hooked up to a TV.
    I made a 4 minute movie in iMovie,
    then onto iDVD...
    Saved movie to HDD
    Burned DVDs via disk utility (one at all 3 speeds)
    Used high quality DVDs.
    The DVDs I created...
    only the 4x would play on my standard DVD.
    It plays in black and white, not color.
    It stops and starts frequently.
    Do I have any other options on my Mac?
    Should I copy the movie to miniDV and take it to
    a company that burns DVD's?
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.
    I posted this question in the iMovie forum as well...
    Thanks in advance,
    Kell

    What kind of media are you using? Are you using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R and burning from a disc image at 4x or slower?
    Use Roxio Toast or apple's Disc Utilities to lower the burn speed. If your DVD or iMovie has B&W issues where it's not supposed to, then you have a shaky connection / loose cable somewhere. Check all connections (make sure all is snug).

  • I am having an issue burning DVDs on Final Cut Pro X. After 15 minutes, I get a QuickTime Error:0. Anybody have a solution to this?

    I am having an issue burning DVDs on Final Cut Pro X. After 15 minutes, I get a QuickTime Error:0. Anybody have a solution to this?

    I'm sure the pros will be along to ask what your settings are.  Although this may not be exactly helpful, I did find compressor to be much more robust for burning DVDs.  This could partially be because it includes a template to convert you movie into correct DVD format.  I was quite pleased with the outcome after multiple failed attempts using FCPX alone.

  • Audio Sync issue after burning DVD

    This is a strange one. I have a DVD made up of several videos of various length. One 15 minutes, One 7 minutes, and the rest under 5 minutes & 17 seconds. The problem is that the two longer ones are out of sync on the burned DVD (and even the build playing in VLC) even though they are fine throughout the rest of the process (FCP, DVDSP timeline, & DVDSP simulation). The rest of the videos are also just fine. I have no idea what to do about it.

    They were all encoded in compressor and all are about 7.6 Mb/s. The thing is, only 2 of 14 have the issue. Granted, they are the 2 longest, but not by that much. And it is out of sync for the entire program, it doesn't gradually get out of sync. Also, opening the Video_TS folder (on the computer, not the disk) in VLC shows the same problem, so its not the player, the disk media, or even the burning process. It's somewhere in the "build" process. I will try a lower data rate for those two, but it should be fine for less than an hour of material.

  • Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

    Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

    Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
    This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
    Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
    In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

  • Error message when burning dvd

    I have a flat panel 17" iMac with a superdrive. I have recently tried to back-up data onto a dvd. When I hit the burn button I soon get an error message. When I eject the dvd and put it back in to play nothing happens and the dvd is ejected only when I open iTunes. On a third and forth attempt the dvd gets spit out without any burn attempt.
    Strangely, the first dvd I put in that was not readable on my machine I put in a Windows machine, which appears to read the dvd and I see the folders that I tried to burn, but obviously cannot open the files because it is a Windows machine.
    I have read the discussions and dvd issues seem to be rife. I thought I had applecare but it appears it hasn't been registered and this issue is being addressed with apple. So I have not managed as yet to get any apple support.
    Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
    Thanks
    PS: The reason for the back-ups is that I am soon going to upgrade to Tiger. I see from discussions that issues about dvds are rife.

    I didn't note the message I'm afraid. However I have just tried to burn a dvd again and got the message 'An error occurred while burning the disc. This disc cannot be used.' I have tried the burn with two different dvds and I don't think the discs are the wrong ones. One was DVD-RW and the other was DVD-R. I recall that on another occasion there was an error number, which might have been 303, but I can't be sure of that figure.
    Whilst on burning to disc, I want to make an image of a folder. I follow the instructions of navigating to the folder and click on it but the resulting image is only of the folder and not its contents. Am I doing something wrong here too?
    Thanks.

  • I repeatedly get "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshow" message.  This process is the same on my iMac, MacBook and another iMac.  I have been burning dvd's int he same way for the past 12 months using the exact same steps successfully.

    I keep getting "error during rendering/encoding of menus/slideshows" message.  I have been burning DVD's in exactly the same way for the past 12 months and mostly on my MacBook which is 3 years old.  Obviously I'm using iDVD.  I purchased an iMac about a year ago and moved to use this for dvd burning without problem.  A few months ago (approximately) I started to experience problems with burning with the error message above.  I tried everything including starting the whole process from scratch right down to capturing the movie clips from my video recorder into iMovie, then using them in iDVD.  Still the same message came up.  I lost count of how many times I repeated the process with different clips and variations and the same thing happened.  This was also the case with my MacBook and my husband's iMac.
    After taking both of mymac's tothe service centre, having new optical thingys put it and even a new hard drive on my iMac along with a new DVD burner the same thing happened.  They told me it must be the process that I am using that is incorrect!
    I took my 27" iMac to an apple shop and asked them to assist me while I use the same technique as I always had.  The same message came up so they tried using my clips in one of their mac's.  The same message. They tried it with different clips and the same message.  The only way we could get theirs to work was with a magic DVD which did not produce what I needed and was limited with only one page. 
    I now cannot use any of my Mac's for the intended purpose that I bought them for - to produce good media for my work!  It was suggested that I purchase some non Mac software to burn DVDs which defeats the object of having a mac with iDVD in my opinion.  I have a book on iDVD which is very informative and have followed the process to the letter and checked all the trouble shooting and still no remedy.  It was mentioned that an up-date may have caused the problem on all my macs.
    I feel that this issue should be addressed by Apple as a matter of correctness.
    I now find that on the net there are many posts in forums and such like with exactly the same (almost word for word) problems.  Please Apple, keep/regain your good name and sort this out.
    Jayne Connelly

    Thanks Bengt W for your attention to this matter.  So much appreciated.  And thanks for putting me right on the aim of forums (new to this).  Although, you may regret asking for more information.  I've added everything I can below.
    The process I used is as follows:
    Import recorded clips of between 5 and 15minutes each from my video recorder into i
    Edit the clips (remove unwanted start and endng)
    Add title to front of clips
    ‘Share’ them to ‘movie’ (export using QuickTime)folder in .mov format individually
    Open iDVD and ‘create new project’
    Select ‘favourite’ theme that I have set up forall my work dvd’s (this has been used successfully many times and I’ve triedwithout using the favourite them).
    Add 2 submenus for each group of clips
    Select submenu  - drag and drop between 3 – 6 clips in each of the twosubmenus
    Change title colours on clips
    Dragand drop image into drop zones where required
    In‘map’ view I check for any yellow warnings before burning to disc
    In an attempt to remedy the problems I’ve tried the following:
    Try new DVD discs
    Try different themes (favourites and standardones)
    Change images in drop zones
    Start whole process again even from importingfrom camera again
    Two other completely different computers (iMacand MacBook) with iDVD
    Go to apple shop and use their computers to doin iDVD
    Try with one clip and no menu pages added
    Use a clip that I already have that did notoriginate from my camera
    Turn computer off and restart
    New hard drive
    New optical lense (thing)
    New DVD burner
    Saving to disc image rather than dvd disc
    Other points:
    I also have a ‘flip’ and ‘iPhone’ whereI’ve imported footage camera which, although limited, records and makes videoclips and burns them to DVD through iDVD without problem.
    For example, I have just gone through steps 5 - 11 using some clips that were already imported from my iphone to iPhoto and dragged across.  I used a theme that I've used before which has failed and added one sub menu page where the clip went.  It burned to disc image successfully.
    The startup disc, I believe will have no space issues asit’s a new hard drive with no use apart from this.  That could have been an issue before (I didn’t check it) butnot now.
    Other technical stuff that I don't understand but you may:
    I have…… Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 with all updates onit.  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Corei7.  Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

    If you can solve this you are better than the 'apple geeks' in the shop and the service technicians in the service centre (and of course me but that's no achievement).

  • Can no longer burn DVD's on my MacBook Pro

    As the title says, I can no longer burn DVD's. I can burn CD's but not DVD's. I get Sense= code errors and stuff no matter what burner I try out. It doesn't always want to read the DVD's either but ejects them one- two times before it surrenders and starts reading the disc. I've had this Mac for about 1.4 years and I haven't been sitting around every day since, slotting 30 discs in and out of it all day long, i.e the drive hasn't seen that much action to justify this problem.
    It can't have anything to do with the media as I've been reading a lot about since the DVD's I try to use have worked perfectly fine before this problem popped up. And I find it hard to believe that my $3200 Mac aint equipped to burn these things and especially not since it was able to earlier. It stopped burning about 2-3 months ago so my guesstimate is that one update or the other from Apple screwed things up but I have no idea how to find out what that might be or more to the point how to solve it.
    So, since I strongly disbelieve the media factor ( I have tried different brands and that if it would only be able to burn Verbatim discs then that would be ridiculous ) I wonder if there's any real solution to this. Any firmware to be found for it or some such? I've tried to browse around the Downloads section but can't seem to find anything that addresses this issue. I've also googled quite a bit about it and I've found many others who experience the same problem(s) but never any real solution for it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    A lot of folks have found that running a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through can often fix this sort of calibration and sensor problem, it only takes a small spec of dirt or dust to cause errors ...

  • Can no longer burn dvds or upload

    Recently my premier elements 11 stopped being able to burn a dvd or upload to youtube...
    dvd just goes to indexing but never continues. Upload to youtube stops at 81 % and freezes.
    No real error messages. Tried re-installing software but does the same thing.
    Worked for last 4 years on same PC running windows 8...now wont?
    HELP!

    (I'm replying to your comments from below and:  I'm including 2 other individuals (CC) in this reply; asking for their help as well, if they have any potential answers for me.)  Please advice ...
    I'm using Adobe Premier Elements 11 on an HP Windows Pro 8.1 desk top PC.  It's been working perfect since I loaded it in 2011.  I produce and create a 30 minute TV show for a couple of my local community TV Stations in the area as well as make videos on real estate and publish them to You Tube (Finding New Neighbors <<< see my You Tube Network for sample of my videos).  I also create DVD's for real estate properties to use during open houses and as marketing tools for real estate.  I also make training videos for the local Board of Realtor's.  Uploading these videos to You Tube and burning DVD's is very critical to my business. 
    I currently have episodes of the TV show ready to burn but I can't get them to burn so I can turn them into the TV Stations for airing.
    It was working perfect until recently; however, I can no longer burn a DVD or upload to You Tube.  The edit program seems to be working fine.  I can still create videos, edit and view videos on the program but I can't send them anywhere to be used in any way.  When I attempt to burn a disk; it gets ready to burn then nothing happens.  When I attempt to upload to You Tube; it will "Render" and start to Upload but then it get's to about 61% to 99% (uploaded) then freezes up and never finishes.
    I've had our office computer support person in working on my PC for the past 4 days and we're getting no where.  He did find a virus and cleaned it out.  Everything "seems" to be working now except my DVD burner and uploading videos to You Tube.  I even reloaded the Adobe Premier Elements 11 software to see if that could be an issue.  It made no difference. 
    Somehow, the program is no longer speaking properly to whatever pathway it needs to, in order for the DVD's or You Tube to receive the video/s and finish.
    I really need to get this fixed; otherwise, months worth of work is lost and I will not be able to create or publish any future videos.  I really need this working.  Any help would be appreciated immensely.

  • No longer able to burn DVDs

    My Powerbook is suddenly refusing to burn DVDs. I have spent the past couple of days testing with a variety of brands including Verbatim, but I get the error message 'Communication to the disc drive failed error code 0x80020022'. I can play DVDs and burn CDs as normal.
    Does this mean that there is some sort of hardware error (I have tried cleaning the lasers with a DVD cleaner?) and I will no longer be able to burn DVDs? If this is the case what are my options? Is it possible to replace the Powerbook's superdrive, and if so is this expensive/complicated? Alternatively can anyone recommend an external DVD burner?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Dave,
    I'm not sure about your tech issue...
    However I can recommend some good external DVD burners
    LaCie is good (expensive)
    LG - a friend has one and works very well
    NEC - identical to LaCie but cheaper- if you do a search you will see that LaCie uses NEC drives in its products. You need to buy an external enclosure.
    I recommend the NEC I've had one for over 2 years and still works flawlessly.
    You should also consider (if you go with NEC) to buy an enclosure that has FireWire and USB 2

    After reading the boards, it sounds like the Pioneer DVR-112D 18X DVD Burner (Drive only) is the unit to buy and replace this Sony one.
    There appears to be a spacer issue related to the door on the G5 Tower case. Will the spacers from the Sony unit work on the Pioneer unit, or can the Pioneer unit just be installed as is using the existing ribbon cable. I've read the PMG5OpticalDriveDIY.pdf replacement manual, but am confused about SuperDrives vs. the Pioneer DVR-112D.
    Can anyone clarify the details of replacement?
    Also, will I need new software (Roxio, Toast) to burn CD's and DVD's after replacing the drive?
    thanks, and best regards,
    Eric
