Burning more than 1 disc in a sessio in iTunes, causes computer to lock up.

Hi,
I'm trying this forum looking for help, because I can't seem to find any anywhere else.
Every time I attempt to burn more than one disc, this always happens. I burn one disc from playlist, and attempt to burn a second. It will always hang on "burning - initialization" or something like that.
Then, I cannot quit iTunes. Also, I can not open up any other executable program, such as Firefox, MSN Messenger, etc etc. They all hang and say the usuage is 236 kb.
Stats:
Windows XP Pro SP3
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4ghz
1.5gb Ram
iTunes 7.7.1.11
I just don't understand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a variation from this article:

Try getting rid of that Shwicon2k process, if it's on your PC. It's multimedia card reader software. You can always put it back. It might be causing a conflict.

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

Encore can't burn more than one DVD at a time: Sense Code 56400

For a long time now I've been unable to burn multiple DVD's at a time. I burn more than one and I get an error and have to make a coaster out of yet another DVD
I just upgraded to 24 gb of DDR3 PC 1600 RAM, I have an 6 Core Processor, I have 7.8 on everything accept my hard drive which is 7.0 out of 7.9 according to my Windows 7 Pro. 64 bit system.
I have 2 different DVD burners, one is a blu-ray burner too. I have the same issues, only different error readings it seems, on both drives. The first drive didn't burn even one for some reason so I tried the second. The second drive would burned 3 and on the fourth I got the errors' which I've included screen shots of below. I was surprised I got through three before I got to this error. By the end of the week I have a large project I need to make 30 DVD's of. HELP!!!!!
A long time ago on my older machine I had similar problems and I went through different drives and discs until I seemed to come up with the magic combination which seemed to be a Plextor burner and Verbatim. But, then i got a bad batch of verbatim and tried Maxell and used those successfully for a while. Right now I'm using what a friend gave me, TDK's. I'm wondering if that's what the problem is... HELP!!!!

I have managed to get it to work consistently now. I just burned 20 DVD's without a problem.
I tried everything you suggested except the imageburn software. I didn't like that site, I was too anxious to try and figure out where to download that software in the midst of all the advertisements on that site.
After clearing out everything in startup and services except what I needed I still wasn't able to burn successfully. Finally I went and purchased some Verbatim DVD-R discs and wahlah! Actually, after the first try with the verbatim I had an error code when trying to burn with Encore. So, I created and image file as you suggested and then I used Cyberlink's Power2Go to burn the image file and from there on it seems everything is solid.
I think the biggest problem was using TDK discs. I came to the realization a few years ago that certain disks are not as predictable as others and that verbatim and maxell seem to be the best. I did get one bad batch of verbatim though one time and that's when I switched to Maxell. My friend gave me 200 of the TDK's and I've been having problems ever since. But, I wasn't sure what it was exactly because he gave me those around the same time I rebuilt my system.
I had also found the Plextor seems to be the best bet for burners. But, I had been using an HP one lately and thought maybe that was the problem. However, now it seems to be fine.
I really don't know what fixed it. I mean, nothing definitely worked until I started using the Verbatim today. But, that first verbatim erroring perplexed me. I had done some other things too, like removed some programs, like a bunch of HP printer crap. I even removed my virus software, Window Security Essentials. I just reinstalled it so now I'm wondering if I can burn as consistently. I had seen somewhere where someone said they removed Windows' Defender to get theirs working.
Anyways, I guess what I need to do is format my main hard drive, only put adobe stuff on it, and then take my old computer set it up for everything else. That'll probably be the best thing to do... If I have anymore problems like this I'm doing that right away!

How to burn more than one file on the same dvd?

I would like to burn more than one file in to the same dvd. It seems to me that using Finder I can burn only a file. There is some alternative command? Thank's

Select all the item to burn... right click...
Or
Place all items into a folder and burn the folder to the disc.
Or
Make a Burn Folder in the Finder (place items into the folder) and burn from there to a disc.

Burning more than one dvd

Anyone know of a way to burn more than one DVD at a time with DVD studio Pro if you have two burners in your machine?

Hi Mossie,
I got a product this summer - Dragon Burn from NTI.
http://www.ntius.com/dragon_burn.asp
It's not as easy as Toast, but works pretty well. There are a few extra steps to creating the disc image to burn from , but not too bad.
Give it a try. They have a demo on the site.

ITunes Won't Burn More Than One CD at a time...

(I am sorry if this is in the incorrect forum)
When I attempt to burn more than one CD (one right after the other) using iTunes I get an error message stating that the computer cannot calibrate enough laser power...and it spits the CD out. If I wait a few hours/restart it works again— anyone know if this is just an iTunes problem?
Thanks,
Krista

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but this sounds like a suggestion rather than a problem.
You can provide iTunes feedback here:

If your post was a question, post back and I'll see if I can help.
I hope this solves your problem!

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show to the same DVD

Can I export (burn) more than one slide show I created in iPhoto to the same DVD, and if yes, how?

Yes. If you're using iDVD export the slideshow out of iPhoto at 480p size and drag it into an open iDVD menu window, being careful to avoid any drop zones. iDVD can handle up to 120 minutes of playing time (movies plus menus) on a single layer DVD disk.
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.

HT1719 Can more than one device access the same ITunes library?

Can more than one device acess the same ITunes library? And if so, does each device's list of songs remain separate and distinct for each device?

No problems whatsoever. I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod touches with different IOS connected.

Can I buy more than 25,000 song space in iTunes Match? I am bumping up to the linit and I need more space.

How can I select which of my songs are mirrored to the cloud?
By deleting the extra ones from your iTunes library.
However, you might want to shop around a bit.

ITunes 9.03 won't burn more than 2 songs to a disc

I like to compile my own play lists and then burn them to CD for the car. Usually 8 - 12 tracks, but iTunes tells me this needs multiple discs when burning to CD (800mb capacity) - for any play list that contains more than 2 tracks. It will then proceed to burn multiple disks with 2 tracks on the first disc, then only one on the follow up discs.
I thought perhaps it was because they contained protected files, so removed them, but the problem persists. In fact the problem is from any source, iTunes purchased music or that I have loaded in from purchased CD's.
Does anyone have a work around or a clue as to whether Apple is fixing this?
Thanks

Thanks for your comments. I have had very good luck in burning many audiobooks with iTunes.I called Apple requesting help with the problem. The technician's conclusion was that there may be an equipment problem which might be fixed if I were to take my computer into an Apple store for evaluation. This seemed to have about the same level of certainty as winning the lottery. Like the thread, you forwarded, I have access to a newer computer with the current version of iTunes. That works well for burning audiobooks.
My current hypothesis is that since, my current MacPro is pretty long in the tooth and is not compatible with Mountain Lion, burried withingin the lastest update of iTunes is some coding that makes a call to parts that are necessary to support Mountain Lion. This doesn't mean that a computer has to be running Mountain Lion, but that it has to be capable of running Mountain Lion. I should note that the burn feature of iTunes is the only problem that I am having with my MacPro.
Thanks again..

Burning more than one Blu-ray Disc in FCP7

I successfully burned one Blu-ray disc of my 2-hour HD project. It took 16 hours, 15 minutes to export the audio & video files and burn the disc.
Now -- I want to burn another disc. Project is still open. When I follow the same process as before (File - Share - Create Blu-ray Disc - Export), it looks like it'll take another 16 hours to burn the second disc!
Since the Blu-ray files have been created ... what do I do? Better yet: How can I close the project, open it back up on another day and burn the second (and third, and fourth) Blu-ray Disc of the same project faster (less than 16 hours)?

just to clarify in the 'edit markers' dialogue box you have clicked 'Add Chapter Marker' button and this has added the text '<CHAPTER>' to the 'comment' box.

what should i do? please help im now leaving in less than 24 hours and buggin out!

Sorry you have run into such a problem
This is exactly why all of us recommended that you do a 'Save as disk image' BEFORE burning to disk. It is exactly the same process, takes up the same amount of space and will allow you to identify potential problems before you waste disks. Once the disk image is created, you can play it back on your computer to be sure everything is ok. Then, when you actually burn the disk, using DIsk Utility, it takes only a fraction of the time because all the encoding is already done.
See Len Goff's explanation here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=914789&tstart=0
At this point, you can still do the save as disk image from your iDVD project. It will probably take as long as the first burn. Open iDVD and go to the menu bar at the top of your screen. Under 'Advanced' select 'Delete Encoded assets' to clear your project of the prior encoding.
Now go to File/Save as Disk image and let the image be created to your desktop. Go to sleep. Hopefully it will be ok and play back fine. (You use DVD Player for this). Once you are sure that the disk image is ok, you can then do the burn from Disk Utility. Set the burn speed to 1x, 2x, or 4x. Don't go faster than that. Be sure to use a good brand of disk, like Verbatim DVD-R.
Since you are so short on time, if the disk image is ok, burn some of your disks, and keep the disk image on your computer for burning more later.

Won't let me burn more than 90mb to a cd???

Yesterday something odd happened, I went to write a CD with my mac mini internal writer. All of a sudden it won't let me put more than 90mb onto a cd.
We had changed the make of cd's we use so I thought it may be that, I found on old cd (that already had a small session written to it) and tried that. Again it said I could only put 90mb onto the cd... BUT it actually let me write 200+mb onto it. The blank Cd's won't let me do that, they say not enough room etc.
Anyone have any ideas????
I'm using toast 7, on system 10.3.9.
The cd's i'm using are Imation CD-R 800mb Multispeed (overburning)
The old ones were Imation CD-R 700mb 52x

I wouldn't be surprised if 800MB CD's don't work. I I'm correct, your drive only supports 700MB's (unless you've upgraded it with a SuperDrive. Anyway, the Imation CD-R's should work 52x should work.
Things to try
1) Go to homefolder >> Library >> Preferences. Now trash the file called "com.roxio.toast.plist. Try burning with Toast now. If it does work, you had a corrupted preference file and now the problem is solved. If it still doesn't work, proceed to step 2.
2) Instead of using Toast, use the Finder Burn option. Insert your CD-R into your drive. It'll ask you for a name, name it something and click OK. Now you should see a CD-R icon on the desktop. Drag whatever files that you wanted to burn onto the CD. Now double-click on the CD to open it. You should see all the files that you dragged onto the CD. Now, go File >> Burn Disc. It will start burning. If it works, your Toast program is corrupted, reinstall it. If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1 and proceed to step 3.
3) Use a CD/DVD Drive Lens cleaner. Costs about $10 CAN. Use the drive cleaner and try burning with Toast. If it works now, then you had a dirty lens and now it's solved. If it still doesn't work, repeat steps 1 and 2 and proceed to step 4.
4) Try different discs. Try using Maxell 700MB/80min CD-R's they work with absolutely every mac. They cost around $18 CAN for a pack of 10 w/ jewel cases. Now try burning with Toast. If it worked, your problem was bad CD's, keep using Maxell. If it didn't work, repeat steps 1, 2 , and 3. After all that, if it still doesn't work, post back for more solutions.

DVD Burn more than three hours

I have a video that lasts more than three hours and I want to burn to DVD. How I can compress it but I lose quality among all video on the DVD?

Hi
DL-DVDs - can hold up to 4 hours
Using Toast™ and a SL-DVD can hold about 10 hours - BUT at a quality so bad that VHS-tapes recorded in EP-mode (x4) Will look excellent in comparision.

Final Cut Pro X burn more than one DVDFinal Cut Pro X burning DVD copies

There seems to be an issue when burning ('sharing') more than one copy of a DVD from FCPX - I have replicated several times
Share DVD first time correctly creates a DVD which will autoplay from start of programme material
If you then choose Create DVD - Burn DVD again - this produces a DVD which autoplays from a random point in the programme material
If you choose to exit from Create DVD and Share DVD again (using the same title) this produces a DVD which autoplays from a random point in the programme material
If you exit from Create DVD and Share DVD using a different title this produces a DVD which autoplays from start of prgramme material
Any one have a similar experience?

Not sure I understand that point Tom - I am not using a DVD player to test this issue
I think I should re-phrase my question:
It appears that having 'shared' a DVD from FCPX with title XXX XXXX which correctly autoplays from the start of the DVD...
If I then click 'burn again' the DVD produced (played back as a test in my Mac) will consistently autoplay from another point in the programme material not from the start
And if I write another DVD from the 'share' menu with the same title XXX XXXX when tested in my Mac it will consistently autoplay from another point in the programme material not from the start
However if I write another DVD from the 'share' menu (same timeline) with a different title XXX XXXX XXX the DVD when tested in my Mac will autoplay correctly from the start
Can anyone replicate this performance error?
