Burning long movie from IDVD

Hi I hope i'm in the right place. I have a G5 - new in Sept. It has a Superdrive and I am wondering if I can burn my movie (over 5 Gig and just over 2 hours) to a memorex DVD+R DL disk I can't find a compatability list anywhere.
Thanks
Leslie
iMac G5 2G Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi Leslie:
According to this Apple Article DVD+R DL disks are compatible-just doesn't mention Memorex by name.

Burning a movie from idvd

i made a movie on idvd and im trying to burn it...... when i put a blank dvd in it spits it back out and says insert a readable dvd..... i am using dvd-rw....... please help! i need to burn this dvd for an event today

#1 Rule ..... Don't stress.
Let me make a suggestion. Burn a disc image to the desktop if all else fails here. This essentially eliminates the need to burn to Dvd completely and uses the mac's internal hard drive as a virtual Dvd for playback purposes (keep in mind that both a disc image and a finished idvd respond to apple's dvd player in an identical fashion). You can always use your mac and apple's dvd player to present the disc image to most set tops or TV's with the proper cables ..... Might this work for you?
Other than this, the only other suggestion is to secure the correct / recommended media from the very start.

Burn long movie with IDVD

On IDVD I am trying to Burn a long movie. I get a message saying duration too long for disc. How do I burn this to two disc or Reduce the intro of IDVD. The movie is almost 4 hours long. I can put it on one disc that plays on my computer,but I want one to play in my DVD player

A single-layer DVD has a limit of 2 hours, a dual-layer DVD 4 hours.
Roxio Toast can burn your 4 hours to a single-layer DVD using its 'burn to fit' setting but you will see a quality loss.
Toast can also stretch a video over two DVDs.

Importing long movies from iPhone 4S

I am trying to import long movies from the iPhone to iMovie. I am able to use image capture to transfer the movie from the iPhone, but then I can't import it into iMovie. I set iMovie to import the file, and it says that it is doing so and that it is generating thumbnails, but then when it finishes nothing shows up in iMovie. I have made sure that I have ample room in my hard drive, which I was told at the Genius Bar could be affecting iMovie's ability to work with the movie, so that's not the problem. Ultimately, I'm looking to be able to transfer the movie to iDVD so I can burn a DVD.
I've tried importing directly into iMovie and iPhoto. I get the same non-result in iMovie and an error message in iPhoto.
I'm using iMovie '11 version 9.0.4 (1634), on Mac OS X, Version 10.7.3 on a MacBook Air. The movie is about 65 minutes long.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what was the solution? I admit to being very surprised at the difficulty of doing an Apple-Apple transfer. Thanks.

What might be happening is you might need to Optimize the Video to Full Size. Use the File Menu > Optimize > Full Size for each of the video clips in your iPhoto Videos folder inside of the iMovie Events Library. That should trigger iMovie to recognize the original size/resolution of the video clips and then enable the HD size output in the iMovie Share Menu.

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?

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.

Distortion with sound when viewing burned movie from idvd

I created a movie in iMovie that included tracks from iTunes and exported it to create the dvd in iDVD.
When viewing it in iMovie, it sounds great.
When I exported and viewed the movie in iDVD, it sounds great.
But after I burn the dvd and view it on any of my tv's, the sound is distorted. I've tried playing the settings in iMovie changing the track volume to a lower setting but that isn't helping.
Can anyone help?

I had a similar problem. Some of the music in my movie was distorted playing on my TV. Burning the dvd in disk utility did not make a difference, but the file was 3 times larger. Anyway while trouble-shooting I found that it played much better through the HDMI cable as opposed to the component cables. It also played ok on my older TV through the AV cables. So it is either my component out jacks on my dvd player or my component cable. I have noticed other dvd's that I made from my Imac do play very loud on all my TV's.

When Burning a DVD from IDVD it does not encode Video

I am having trouble burning a DVD that will not freeze. All of them come out and are read by DVD players of all kinds, but it gets about 3 minutes into the video, and it freezes. I saved as Image to Disk, and it went through the Burning process flawlessly and played through in its entire contents, but then when I tried to burn it to a DVD, it made the menus fine, but when it came to encoding the video, it skipped that part and went straight to encoding audio and it did not work. It came out with just a little video on there, but it did not use the same process as the Save Disc to Image did. When I saved Disc to Image it played through the whole project in kind of a slow motion. The Burning to a DVD did not do that at all.
Please HELP!

I do not have 20gb free on my start up drive. I will once I delete the bulk of the project. How can I save the project to make sure that when I delete the big project, the parts that I have edited and want to not get deleted?
As for my Imovie, It is a 22 minute long home video that does include 5 chapter markers, including the one that starts the movie from the begining. There is music for every clip from my itunes. The theme i chose is the first one listed on the list. It starts in from the right side, and then scrolls across at the top. All of the menus work fine when i play my burned DVD. In fact, everything works fine except for that one part when it freezes up.
I do not understand what you mean by adding my movie to a drop zone and not to the background. The way i started it on Idvd was by clicking, create an Idvd from the menu on imovie.
I made a new step of progress and i got the encoding of the video, but it still did not work. It froze at 3:03 instead of 3:27, 3:38, or any of the others. This is the second disk i have made though that will play on my Powerbook. It freezes on everything else though.

Problem to burn a movie in iDVD

After I have edited a movie in iMovie, I would burn it to a disc. As I have made, you can only burn an edited movie into iDVD.
But it is not. When you press the "burn" button it should be a progress box where it should be how long it takes to burn the disc. But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
What should I do? Could it be something with the movie format, which is originally from a video camera (avi.)
I've actually been able to burn music, pictures and movies directly in the Finder, but those burn as files without having been edited.
Help me, dear Mac users!

Hi
But there is no box, but it says I must insert the disk in the mac, though I have already done so.
YES - this is What NOT to do !
If You insert a DVD before asked for it - Mac will ask You if it should format it.
You can select to ignore this and it should work BUT IF You accept to format Your
Mac will do a Data-DVD and not a Video-DVD.
If You've not been asked to format - then Your Mac can't identify the inserted DVD
(still not asked for by iDVD)
• Use a Cleaning DVD - for Your SuperDrive (DVD-burner)
• Please state Brand and type of DVDs used ? eg. Verbatim DVD-R (what I use)

Unable to burn long movie on Bluray

Longer movies, edited in FCP , converted to QT, won't burn on my external bluray LG-burner. Short movies: no problem.
I get this error code from Toast 10:
- The drive reported an error
- Sense key = medium error
- Sense Code = 0x10
- Invalid block size for command.
Does anyone know what this means and how to solve the problem?

and I adressed this forum because it is definitely a Mac related problem. < </div>
Maybe, that's just your best guess at the moment.
it's not aht we don't want to help but it's not related at all to FCP. It's a Toast problem because that's the application you have chosen to attempt to burn BD content. FCP gave you the file yo needed to move to Toast, yes?
Contact Toast. But since you've started this thread, when you figure it out, please come back and tell us what you found out form Toast that helped you solve the problem. That will give us some information to help future Toast issues and provide a thread that will pop up in Toast/Blu-ray searches.

I have been trying to burn a movie in iDVD and it has been VERY slow. Never had problems in the past. HELP!

Hi there, I have been trying to burn a movie I created in iDVD. When in the "creating your DVD" it is VERY slow saying it will take over 6 hours to burn the movie. I have never had this problem before. It also won't let me minimize the screen, I just get the beeping noise that something is wrong, but no pop up window telling me what to do. Does that make sense? Also the black & orange burn wheel is spinning VERY slowly and will often just stop. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi
When iDVD goes slow to ridiculously slow - it usually depends on - low free space on Start-up hard disk
• I set for a minimum of 25Gb free space
• 10Gb might work but slow
• 5Gb - slow and un-stable - DVD usually doesn't play
• <1Gb - iDVD might not even start and even so Mac OS runs into problems.
Else
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
*com.apple.iDVD.plist*
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

I just burned a movie in iDVD and in playback there is a flashing/strobing green across the entire screen. This pulsating color field is there the entire length of the recording. Any ideas what I did wrong?

I have idvd 7.0.4 and I loaded a movie from imovie to idvd then burned it to dvdr 4.7G and when I play back I get this pulsating green color over the movie image. Theis color is the same as a green-screen and there is quite a bit of green screen work in the film. Any ideas what is happening in the burn process?

Check the suggestions in this topic: Green line across screen when playing a burned dvd..?
The workflow I suggest you follow is:
1 - save the project as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
2 - mount the disk image on your Desktop and play it with DVD Player to assure youself that it plays correctly. This tells you the encoding was good.
3 - burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available, 2x or 4X, to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
